Aye. If we'll get Thiago it would be awesome anyway to see him linking up with Cleverley, with Carrick controlling everything.

Gundogan may be influenced by Kagawa in the future so there is a remote chance we can also get also him, knowing Moyesy's attitude towards building a midfield and Fergie's fascination of Klopp's Borussia.

I can easily see Carrick role next season being more defensive and supporting Thiago than being the main creative force in the midfield. I fully expect that Thiago (if he signs of course) very soon will be our main midfielder (probably as soon as the second part of the season or next season).

EXCLUSIVE – THIAGO IS COMING!

July 4, 2013
We were passed on some info about a medical today and feel free to check our history for the legitimacy of our reporting on Medicals, as we broke the RVP one and the Varela one as well as unwittingly the Fernandinho and Navas ones to city. The info we was passed is that Manchester United have booked in one player for a medical in the coming days and it is believed that player is Thiago.
OK here’s a couple of ground rules.
1. don’t tweet asking how I know this.
2. don’t ask are we signing anyone else. We tell you when we know.3. If I knew a day I’d tell you what day.4. Back Moyes, he’s seemingly not shy about re-arranging this club to suit himself.

The line on Pique is the exact point of Thiago's elbow. It's clear they want him completely out of it. It would make more sense if Thiago being cut out of the picture was the result of the picture being centeredexactly, but the fact it's cropped more at one side, wiping Thiago out completely is very telling.

He wasn't off. They wouldn't have cut him out. If it was Nani being cropped out completely, we'd be certain he was off.

If Nani was cropped out completely, we'd also be certain it meant Ronaldo was coming home.
 
Where are all the redcafe Manchester scouts when we need them? Surely Thiago should have been spotted at the airport or somewhere in Manchester by now, if he is going to be unveiled tomorrow?

I have a good feeling about this. If I was Moyes, thats how I would go about doing my first ever press conference. Wham!

If i was Moyes, i would go about doing my first ever presser tomorrow, by saying:

"I came here to keep United on top of their fecking perch.. and you can tweet that.."

It's definitely a description how Moyes was playing Arteta in Everton. It's more than likely he need that kind of driving force in his United midfield. The truth is - Carrick can play with absolutely everyone in that formation. If Thiago will join, he will have that Barcelona's comfort of playing with a very intelligent midfielder, with him.

I've refused to watch any Youtube compilations of his neat trickery and screamers so far. I've seen him play a fair bit, but these compilations make players look 10 times better as their highlights are all crammed together. It would break my muppet heart more if the deal fell through after seeing all that.

Once it's concrete, I'm going to have a Thiago marathon. I might even watch some of the videos twice.
 
Where is TN when you need him to inject some negativity into the thread? I'm becoming too sure that this is going to happen.
 
It's from the Sport.es article about Gundogan being a possible Thiago replacement that was posted here a few hours ago.
 
Ah. This is what muppetry is all about. That feeling just before it happens. Its like waking up on your birthday with new toys to look forward to.

Bask in the excitement, once we sign him tomorrow, we'll all be back to square one, look for our next signing to muppet over.

"I came here to knock this club off their fecking perch...and .... hang on...that came out wrong"

That's correct.

As is also reporting that Mazinho has put his restaurant on sale. It's definitely on, wouldn't be surprised to be announced tomorrow.

No quotes in the article just this
Zubizarreta y su equipo de trabajo dan por perdido al hispanobrasileño, aunque más de uno recuerda que el jugador tiene carácter más que suficiente para cambiar de opinión en cualquier momento.
Which I believe means something along the lines of "Zoubisoubisou and his team think Thiago is a lost cause, but some reckon Thiago is the type of sleachy fecker that can change his mind at any moment'.
 
This thread and the official site has been on constant F5...

to be honest I doubt we'll find out anymore today. Unless he flies in tonight/tomorrow morning and is spotted at the airport or Hotel. Else, have the indoor sparklers ready for Moyes first pres conference.

Is the a link or stream available for that?

Same here. I just succumbed and watched a couple of compilations.
