Do people seriously not understand the concept of the "RELEASE CLAUSE"?
I think he knows whatever Barca can offer him for a new contract, other big clubs out there will easily match it. However, if it comes down to playing time, he probably knows he'll get more if he moves on to another club.
If he really ends up in England, then it'd better be us. I really wouldn't like seeing such a huge young talent playing week-in week-out for City or Chelsea!

Abramovich attends Chelsea's FA Youth Cup matches, U-15 matches etc. While he may not have watched this, he's probably more invested than most people think.
Barcelona players absolutely hate Jose, so can't see him signing for Chelsea. But then, money talks and he'll get plenty of playing time there as well. Looking at Thiago's reaction to De Gea inviting him to Manchester, I'm not getting a particularly good feeling, hope I'm wrong though.
Of all the mega rich owners, I don't think there is one who is more invested in his club than Roman Abramovich
When was this?
Heh. I do. But considering the state of agents now, the said player/his agent will demand for a better deal for him.

Can someone PLEASE rubbish this chelsea rumour? It's going to be a long day at the office. This lad is perfect for our midfield. I don't think my heart can handle missing out on this lad.
I don't think your heart will have to. Read the DeGea thread and stories from 2 years back and you would find solace.
He wouldn't want to play for Mourinho and Mourinho would have too much pride to sign a Barca player? Maybe?
Oh and Barca would never accept Chelsea's offer.. (I don't know how to white text)
*sigh* buying into transfer muppetry is not the life for me. I will just wait until final confirmation.
I often promise myself "this year I won't be dragged into this, no football related news until the start of the season until all transfers are more or less done."
Of course it never works just like promising myself never to drink alcohol again after waking up with a super mean hangover.
Coming from the same guy seventeen minutes apart, the above posts don't make sense.
Why are you so desperate for the lad. Dont we have Cleverley and the one who shits on Fabregas in CM?
I bet if the likes of Cleverley had a fancy Spanish surname you wouldnt tell the difference between him and Alcantara or Iniesta
I still think the most likely scenario is him receiving assurances about his future and subsequently staying at Barca.
If he does leave though, and it's a big if, I believe that we would be the most likely destination. He would be absolutely brilliant for us as well, he's the business.
Hopefully we find out soon like, not a big fan of long, drawn-out transfer sagas personally.

How do you pronounce Alcantara anyway?
Does it rhyme with Cantona, Integer or Banana? Is the C hard or soft?

Al-cant-a-ra, I think.
I can only speak for myself but after yesterday's hat-trick the "c" is hard. Very, very hard.
Hard C rhymes with Cantona then?
Throw me a bone here, mate, I gave you multiple choice ffs.
Yeah, Cantona/Cantara.
That fact alone makes him like Erics less cool Spanish cousin really. Logic.
Bloody hell cider you don't come on the Caf to read sense do you?
I can't believe you cnuts managed 5 new pages over night and have no new news for me.
You can contribute to another 5 pages to make you feel better if you want.
When I went to bed around 11pm we had 28,000 views less. Lots of F5 pressers around here, good job lads, keep it going. Have we signed him yet btw?

You could call Cleverley Cleviesta and he would still be half the player of Thiago!.
Sad but true, its just a different planet these young Spanish kids are made.
Dont get me wrong Clev is a great young player, but he needs to step it up a notch now.
Gerard Pique has urged Thiago Alcantara to remain at Barcelona

Haha thats a great spot, kinda backs up my point here though!:
Please be wrong!
I've said before in this thread, what type of assurance can they give him that he will play ahead of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Fabregas? The type of assurance that of he doesn't play enough his release clause will drop from €90m to €18m? That'll really assure him.
The fecker better tell us where his future going to be at before he goes on his holidays. I can't wait for another for 2 weeks of such tension
Well its 8:30am and I'll be refreshing this page all day at work.
So I assume he'll stick around in Israel until the 21st to celebrate and relax with the team.
I'd say we'll find out what are his plans by week today.

He won't get many games in his natural position like but I still think they might try and shoe-horn him in the side just to be able to keep a hold of him. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they gave him a roaming role on the flank next season, similar to the one Kagawa has played for us at times.
He's that good I just can't see them letting him go that easily. I really hope I'm wrong though.
Do you mean put him on Messi's flank or Neymar's?
