I don't see how you would come to the conclusion that I'm optimistic about it. I just posted a Tweet from Romano in the thread, which is meant for anything Thiago related.
I've made peace with losing him quite some time ago, you won't hit me that way, sorry. I just find it strange that your board is seemingly still at the contemplating-to-consider-the-preparation-of-a-bid stage even though they've supposedly agreed on terms with the player a long time ago, and season preparations are coming to their end already. It is highly annoying, and makes no sense for anybody involved. So please project your anger elsewhere, like onto your board who are very obviously hesitant to pay a fee for him. This seems to be like a strategy as of lately, the whole Werner story had a similar feel to it. It backfired with Werner, let's see how this pans out...
"Your anger"
Behave.He is a Bayern fan.
I'm sitting in my home office, my database scripts are running in the background -> lots of time for Redcafe and other internet stuff. And yeah, a thread concerning one of our players is of interest for me, what a surprise."Your anger"
You've clearly not made peace with it since you jump on any news in this thread like a fecking maniac and respond in a weird defensive way to everything.
Yes De Jong is younger as is Puig and Busquests is past his best. Hence Thiago would make sense from an experience point of view, guiding De Jong and Puig. He makes more sense than Wijnaldum whos future would be unsure once Koeman is sacked next season (2021).
You spitting some mad lines bruv.
I'm all good mate, I just don't like the denigrating tone he constantly puts up.
I think you rather take offense on a spade being called a spade, than anything else. Because it boils down to me using the term "skint" to call me a feckin maniac who you'd like rub that transfer in. I'll still happily continue to use, though.
Yawn. Do as you please, mate. I've already said what bothered me about your posts. You come across as entitled, I don't know if that's always been the case or just because the team you choose to support has won some stuff the past season, and I couldn't care less. But either way, it's uncalled for.
That description fits a lot better on you to be fair.
Pjanic, De Jong & Thiago are playing in the same role. The three of them are most effective playing in the role of the deep playmaker. They have enough players to play in the role, they need midfielder who provide more steel in midfield or the box to box like Vidal and much more advanced player like Iniesta.
My tone usually reflects my personal stance on a matter. I find your boards' behaviour to be highly annoying and unnecessary for all reasons already mentioned and ignored by you in favor of tone talk(can you spot the irony while reading your words above or any of your last 5 posts?). If you as a supporter feel denigrated by my words regarding your board, then this is your personal choice, not my intention.
I can understand why Bayern and their fans would be getting annoyed by this. Player most likely has agreed to go to Liverpool only so no bidding war allowing Bayern to receive the highest fee possible but no sign of a bid coming in any time soon. It's as if Liverpool want him for free so playing the delaying game. Eventually when they do get him all the media will be proclaiming them as masters of transfer but I can't say I like their approach.
VVD & Werner (although went to Chelsea) spring to mind.
They did it with Fekir also. Fekir actually had promo pics done but during then Liverpool tried to push for a discount claiming his knee was fecked or increased risk. It pissed the selling club off and they pulled the deal
Yeah that is very true and will be very glad when this saga is finished,even though it will be gutting him seeing playing for that lot
Is it just me who thinks Ole might
So you can't have a civilized discussion about things that annoy you, good to know.
How so?
Well he’s not old but he’s not really young either. Ole seems to be looking at players who are going to improve over the next 2-3 years. I think Thiago is a player nearing the end of his prime hence why Bayern may be happy to let him go for a pretty modest fee. He’s still a class player no doubt don’t get me wrong.
What did he say that was uncivilized? You were the one that called him a fecking maniac. You act like a spoiled kid every time you discuss Liverpool.
Even though I posted a Tweet about Thiago not even mentioning Liverpool, and then replied again, not mentioning Liverpool at all again?
I have to say I'm a bit embarrassed for you in this thread, nothing against you in general, you seem like a good enough sort for a Scouser. But you're having a go at a guy who's actually been quite reasonable in what he's saying even if you don't like it, and is also quite probably expressing himself in his 2nd or 3rd language (just a guess), so having a go at him about your perception of his tone is a bit off. It's certainly not how I read it anyway.
After the 'This is Ole's real first test'?Is this the next new Ole stick to start with
I have no issue at all with what he was saying and I don't think I even disagreed with anything at all? I just (and have already explained why) don't like the tone of "Skint as you appear to be, I have my doubts" and I'm fully entitled to as well, unless I'm missing something? It's not the first time that that poster acted pretty condescending about Liverpool or other English teams. The fact that he doesn't like how our board is handling this situation doesn't mean that you can't be civilized in an exchange between yourself and a rival poster - if my tone on here would "reflect my personal stance on the matter" in every post here, I wouldn't be able to have a single conversation about Utd-related things without being rude to anyone else.
Yeah it's a no brainer that still think Utd and Ole would both go for IF he didn't seem so set on joining Liverpool. Like I said earlier that is likely to be why we haven't appoached Bayern but only his agent.
Well very good, let's chalk this one down to a miscommunication then I reckon.I have no issue at all with what he was saying and I don't think I even disagreed with anything at all? I just (and have already explained why) don't like the tone of "Skint as you appear to be, I have my doubts" and I'm fully entitled to as well, unless I'm missing something? It's not the first time that that poster acted pretty condescending about Liverpool or other English teams.

English isn't my first language either but if you don't see the undertone of the post I took issue with, rather than replying in a polite or reasonable way, then I guess we just disagree about that. And that's all I'll say about it because this whole discussion is pointless anyway. There's definitely no need to feel embarrassed in my place though
Yeah we were right to not hang around on Donny and wait for Thiago's decision because otherwise we could easily have been left with no one
Hope your right mate. Missing him through injury last year was a bummer.
"Your anger"
You've clearly not made peace with it since you jump on any news in this thread like a fecking maniac and respond in a weird defensive way to everything.
All for the use of the term "skint".
Oh, you did, and that's why I expressed my doubts due to you being ski...financially constrained
Several times actually, I won't start quoting my posting from the last 2 pages.
I dont disagree with your logic. Xavi said pretty much the same himself in an interview recently. The tiki-taka midfield model of death by a thousand passes has now been shelved for a more athletic, powerful and dynamic midfielders. Problem is that it takes planning from sporting director downwards and Barcelona keep sacking theirs at board level its a mess. Thiago at a minimum though similar to players at Barcelona already is home grown La Masia product and can play the new midfield game as he demonstrated at Bayern Munich. He buys the board some time as he would be a coming home. Though as people have said he probably wants to play in PL. There probably is an ideal player to take the 3rd midfield slot alongside De Jong and Puig in the long run, i just dont know who that would be.
