Well he mostly pedaled "Looks likely, but any deal can fall through" or words to that effect, which is true. It can, and effectively has. He never said it was nailed on, because he couldn't. The only person who knows that is Thiago himself.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

This.
He's full of shit. He basically reiterated what everyone else says, after they've said it. Contract arguments? Once someone reports that Thiago had to join Bayern because of the pull of Pep he'll start tweeting that Pep gave him assurances that he couldn't pass up.
Also, this:

Sammer (director Bayern): "Guardiola urging us to sign Thiago? We're totally fine with that. But at this moment we won't comment." [bild]
City were quite close to signing Isco, in fact the player himself did mention the possibility for playing for them.
United dropped a right clanger with Thiago, as we do every year with big foreign players.
So i wouldn't blame Graham Hunter for our incompetence of closing a deal.

'Dropped a clanger', it's as if Thiago has opted to sign for Norwich City over Manchester United. 
How have we "dropped a clanger"?
We haven't even definitely missed out yet, might be a bit soon to start talking about 'dropping a clanger'. What were we supposed to do, hire Pep in the hope that he'd poach Thiago for us?
It is entirely possible that we fecked it up by letting it drag on. I think that Hunter was right in what he was saying. He said that Thiago was 80/20 to sign for us, this is the fecking 20! He was certainly right about Isco as City have been more reluctant to pay big wages the past couple of years, it is why they missed out on many targets last year.
Once Pep got involved we had no chance, his is too close to the player and too big.

Oh so as long as we had gotten "close" it would be okay? Utter bollocks.
When did we first make contact with Thiago? When did Pep first get involved? Did Thiago request time to make a decision? We don't know the actual answer to any of these.
Some guy on SSN quoted Moyes as saying we were never interested in Thiago.
This is the twitter thread. The quotes are where they should be, in the presser thread.
It was obvious that the media would read that into his comments. He is going to have to realise that and he's been a manager long enough to know how they work.
Nope he said moyes said we never claimed we were interested, leaving it open.
Why's everyone still moaning about Thiago then? It's over, deal with it.

Deal has not broken down, but they are worried. United still have failed to make an agreement with Barca.

Todays update from OT: A comment from one source was that the people up there are angry at Thiagos sudden turn. Not what he promised them.
So Tweets one minute saying Thiago made a u-turn, then the next minute we've not reached an agreement with Barca. Couldn't make it up! And yet people are still tweeting him asking if he has any updates. People are such fecking idiots.

They are finding it hard to get over a thread that kept saying we were getting him. when we might not have even been interested in the first place. That was one hell of a big thread.
Seriously, "OfficialAgentInsider" can never ever be a reliable account and is really just a waste of everyone's time to post in here.
I don't really get the purpose of this thread....is it just to post near-reliable twitter posts? No discussions, no nothing?
That sounds like something SteveJ would make up in one of his parody posts.
You could.
I haven't added the no comment thing, so I can't say, but yes the thread shouldn't be flooded with stuff everyone knows is 100% bullshit.
We might as well just start creating our own crap and post it in here t waste everyone's time.
if someone is named something with "ITK", "Source", "Insider" or "Agent" then it's very likely some bored kid making up stuff, and thus have no place in this thread.
And if someone quotes Indyfaila they should get the worst tagline imaginable.
Honestly most of it is rubbish, and if we cant discuss it after its posted we'll never work out whats likely and whats not
I don't understand the puritanism about 'reliable' twitter sources. We're not worshipping in the shrine of cancer research here - it's just a bit of fun to relieve the tedium of the summer doldrums. If some posters enjoy reading Indyfaila, or whatever his name is, what's the big problem?
A thread like this can be a kind of licensed brothel. Respectable citizens hold up their noses and walk past with averted eyes, but TF reprobates can find relief for their baser urges. Like the Transfer Forum as a whole, some might say.

Because almost every post that contain Indyshit tweets is followed by something similar to 'I know he's clueless, but hey I am posting it'. If everybody in this forum knows that everything on indy tweets is as bollocks as if I made an ITK account and post only random nonsense, then why the same people who ridicule him still post stuff from him.
Good post, IndyKaila is the prime example of the bad side of twitter.
It has it's good points for other stuff, but for transfer rumours it's dire. I should know better than to look at,and get snared into a trap.
Someone make a 'Twitter Bullshit Transfer Thread 13/14' quick.
Hope it's not true...
They already have Marcelo who will be their first choice. And they can't find a buyer for Coentrao as yet
This is probably just made up, not sure of the source yet but:
Definitely made up. Just someone putting 2 + 2 together. Bayern beat us for Thiago, one of their midfielders go further down the pecking order, United will go for him.
I'd be gutted if our main bit of business this summer is losing a perfectly good LB who is a team leader, and then shelling out £17-20M for a replacement who is not that much younger.
This isn't news per say, but I found it amusing/interesting.
Lucio the former Inter Brazilian centreback?
think that's part of the point
