Will be lucky to get any transfer news out of Moyes, him and Fergie cut from same cloth in that respect.
Thiago Alcantara | Signed for Bayern Munich

I can just see Moyes saying we are not interested in him and it is just paper talk
that would be hilarious
Naah, he wont lie so obviously imo. Will be the usual 'not talking about transfers' Line.

I wouldn't rule it out. Fergie would often get a bit snappy at journos who asked about deals, then start saying "absolute nonsense! I don't know where you guys are getting it from" etc.
He better be making amends by presenting Ronaldo as his first signing. I know he hasn't done anything wrong so far but he probably will in the future so better to make up for it in advance.
"We're working on a couple of things" is the line I expect.
"Who? Never head of him." is the line I expect.
"Thiago?! Eh?, the only Thiago were playing this summer is Thiago Bebe"
So, no offers... If it's true that means ESPN is on the level of Indykaila from twitter.
Seriously, can somebody tell what is actually going on ? Is this some kind of a build up to this mysterious press conference we are about to witness ?

Well there is nothing mysterious about a new manager addressing the media.
It's clever wording. If you activate his release clause then you are not making an offer. An offer can be rejected or accepted. We haven't made them an offer, if we've been in contact with them it will be about paying the amount that releases him, not about making an offer.
What makes you think any of us know?
Because You people know everything. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. (hopefully Thiago one)
Whoooo .... Not sure if its true though

Barcelona have announced that Neymar will wear the number 11 shirt...which used to be worn by Thiago Alcantara.
Thank You for the quick response, people. This clause seems to be something a bit different than a regular negotiations.
nope.
Some time ago, there was some Barcelona source that had Neymar with number 11 on him. Very interesting.
Twatter has suddenly gone made with this. like 200 tweets in a minute
Cocks out. Thiago is coming.
It's been known for ages that Neymar would get that shirt.
Still nothing on Barcelona's website and their store still has Neymar with no number. That rumour seems to come around every few days that Neymar has got the #11 shirt and sends twitter wild for a bit before they realise it isn't true.
I heard speculation he might also take #7, though you're probably right. I thought he'd get 11, though it still doesn't seem to be officially confirmed.
It was tongue-in cheek mate. Plus I have already thanked jojojo.
The shirt numbers are inconsequential. Thiago could stay and take a different number.
True. Madrid especially seem to chop and change squad numbers quite frequently. Still, this will be the 2nd time Thiago has lost a shirt number he has chosen, and both can be considered "important" squad numbers. It's nothing on it's own, but added to him being cropped out of the picture and if the reports are true that he won't be given a new deal or any further promises of playing time, it does suggest he's off. Hopefully anyway.
I don't think a player who just lead his team to winning World Cup would like that, anyway.
You're right though. Logic says it has nothing to do with his actual position in the team.
Not as serious as a stare-out competition.... thats some serious business right there!
Honestly, we'd be better off taking a break from all things Thiago-related until anything is made official. The media in spain will continue to fill pages with non-stories. Twitter will be Twitter and the media in England will be behind any major development bar Sky.
In my opinion, all this "we have not received a formal offer" nonsense is exactly that. Nonsense. It's common practice before a sale is made to use such lines. We'll see what happens but I think Thiago will come to Manchester. I think he's already made his decision. It's just not public yet for reasons we do not know.
what did Neymar wear at santos?
If 11, definitely no significance.
If something else, probably no significance.

I think, he thinks we're tryin to sign his Da - Mazinho?!
He was a quality midfielder, too.We have a winner
Didn't expect anything else really
