I was just kidding. I do agree though, there's something in it. He could easily have denied it.

Again, contract negotiations. Most agents these days seem to drill it into players that the one thing they must never do is give a completely definitive answer about where they'll be playing next season. Even totally loyal players who see out multiple contracts at one club usually throw the 'you never know what the future holds' in there. Otherwise you're fecked in terms of negotiating the best contract possible.
We should sign him for this and this alone.
Disgustingly good, isn't it? Although a good illustration of the differences between La Liga and the EPL. In England, you would never, ever see two opposition players just stand and watch like that. At least one of them would be getting enough shoulder-to-shoulder contact on him to make a touch like that impossible.
Can he play in a 2 man midfield?
This will end badly for the muppets
Yup. The expectations exceed the actual chances of it happening by quite some distance.
I wouldn't go that far. They know each other from having played together with the youth national teams but that doesn't mean they're friends.
Yep, what evidence we have now is the kid laughing off an interviewer who asks about the United links. Could just as easily assume by that reaction as if he is just sick of the rumours.
Yup, we don't even own a pen for signatures.
It would really depend on the match and occasion, I've seen Berbatov do plenty of these beautiful controls unchallenged.Sometimes they opponents are in awe
Let's not feck about and just get this one done. He's going to be class.
Dont worry, we'll have it sorted by now. Just waiting for him to get back and sign on the dotted line 
Where's the Kagawa as a CM part coming from btw?
And yeah Butt, Phil Neville and Jones for example have been used there against tough opponents at times, but you don't see the need for that type of player most of the games (in the Ferguson era) therefore buying a player exclusively for that position doesn't, or should I say didn't make much sense, because even if said players weren't "world beaters" in their positions they did more than good enough in that one basic role they had.
And the thing is, Thiago is actualy a midfielder primarily, there's nothing to suggest we couldn't partner him with Carrick as CMs (ofcourse, going with an option such as Jones is acceptable in big games) while having Rooney and Kagawa playing the left flank and behind the striker (interchanging most likely). besides whoever's playing behind Van Perisie's basicaly playing at the tip of a midfield 3 anway.
Thiago Alcantara " After Tuesday's final, I would've decided my future, but everyone will know very soon"
Got this of from twitter.
Got this of from twitter.
What does that mean, you got it off Twitter? Every sentence ever said ever is on twitter, be more specific
You know what he means though, it's probably fair to say they get on well
"You got a pen, Dave?"
He did tweet a picture of the pair of them saying something about remembering good times (I think). I'd say they're pretty good mates going off that.
I think those qutes are made up, unfortunately. No real source except some random United fan.
It's also factually inaccurate even if it did come from the mouth of Thiago, the real truth is that Only God Knows.
This is my favorite thread and reading quote like this will probably ruin my sleep tonight. Please guys from now on only authentic quotes otherwise I expect Top to use his magical power. Btw. By the fecker!!
if we restricted yourselves to authentic material only, none of these transfer threads would even reach page 2.
Hmmm. Using Twatter as a source creates the problem. I love to read news, even Twatter crap but I care for this player to join us so I'm contradict myself on this one. Time for bed...
There has to be a balance though. We can't just post everything that's said by anyone on Twitter. At least some effort should be made to filter such blatant bull shit like the quote above.
I would prefer to post only tweet from known journalists and ofcourse sources from Sky or BBC or Marca and all that.
I hope to God that we won't see the words "Thiago extends contract at Barca".

Pretty unlikely.
Is it? My hunch, based on absolutely nothing except the few snippets we heard from the club itself and his dad aeons ago, is that we're looking at a 50% chance of him staying at Barca, a 30% chance of him coming to us, 10% to Bayern, and 10% split between PSG, Monaco, City or someone else (one of the money clubs luring him with a big feck-off wage, basically).
I just don't get the inkling that this will pan out with Thiago remaining at Barcelona. Maybe he's allowed the speculation to grow as to get a nice new contract at Barcelona though, who knows?

Spitting image of yer man off Emmerdale.

Looks like that actor from Emerdale:
I think he'll end up at City.
Don't they have the Barcelona fella in charge of transfers?
EDIT: Yeah, Txiki Begiristain is City's technical director.
Doooommmmmmm
Looks like that actor from Emerdale:
I'm so glad someone posted that, didn't know he was on Emmerdale as well. I was looking up past Coronation Street characters for the last half an hour trying to see who it was that he reminded me of, it was driving me mental.
He'll end up in the reserves.
I just search for "Asian actor on Emmerdale" and bob's your...
If his priority is getting games, we should clearly be his first choice team, right? We are the only elite team that would could offer him a first XI place.
If he's after money, he'll be better off elsewhere.
Why are most of us so pessimistic about this transfer?
