I feel you, bro.These newbies these days get likes for tying. I remember the golden days were it was required to write 4 extended paragraphs of in depth football analysis. Promotion felt like Jesus himself coming down and giving you a pat on the back.
For feck sake Penna, not again. We've talked about this.
Actually I don't think it is any better than England's in all honesty. Kane, Rashford, Sancho, Sterling, Greenwood are all pretty dynamic players. Maddison or Dele Alli playing as #10/support striker also.
He’s 29 and world class. If you haven’t won it all at that age you’re either not the latter, or made poor life choices.
No ones arguing that, but as i said i stand with Ole on that one. He's hungry for money, because he's already had success, and we need success hungry players.
Oh absolutely. I think England’s attack is up there as one of the best in terms of individuals available.
I always thought he would leave Bayern to go back to Barca at some point to prove himself. He could be the new Iniesta for the next years, but unfortunately it seems that he prefers the experience in the PL :/.
Would he want to go back ? because I'm surprised Barca haven't made a move,especially over someone like Wijnaldum.
He's just not very good?
Like Buffon, R9, etc.?
If he did want to come back, I'd take him over Wijnaldum. I think Thiago has his heart set on joinging a Premier League club. Which is fair enough. Joining a Prmeier League club gives him the chace to win a league title in 3 different countries.
Wasnt him....
Getting thrown into that Abyss called "Newbie Forum" and its orcish denizens and their agonizing moaning, groaning, and grunting was definitely not in line with the Geneva Convention. Hence it got scrapped. Kinda a miss the old system. It had its merits after ascensionThese newbies these days get likes for tying.

Is this a serious post? Why would we be interested?
Sanchez was declining even before he left Arsenal, people just mistook that for him wanting out. Fred was an odd one because supposedly it wasn't Jose's choice. However, this would be entirely different because Thiago is still playing at an unbelievable level and Ole is the one to sign off on it. The one thing I truly trust Ole with is understanding the squad's happiness, if he thinks he can bring Thiago in and it be better for the squad, then its better for the squad. Thiago would instantly come in and take Matic's role. Those who say he can't haven't watched him much this season. The only thing he would take away from our team if he starts ahead of Matic is defending set pieces.
Yeah very true and even though it's highly unlikely he comes here at least we have thrown our hat in the ring for him
He would walk into any midfeild.
I think there's more to it if he can walk into any side in the world but Bayern are letting him go. I can't think of many occasions where Bayern let a peak player leave.
This has been said time and again in this thread. He's in his final year and he has said he wants to leave. The manager has said he'd rather he stayed, but he knows that he's off.
He has 1 year left on his contract. Can sign on a free in 4 months. Has said he doesn't wanna sign a new contract and doesn't wanna stay in the Bundesliga.
Fair enough then.
Feck me. Talk about a signing that could have improved the last 5 or so years considerably.
Yeah there is no doubt that CB & LB are much more pressing issues for us but apart from a few rumours around the likes of Upamecano, Badiashile & Reguilon there hasn't really been any serious talk of us signing someone in either of those positions, then there is also the fact that he isn't a DM like Matic but more of a DLP so would play in a similar area but in a very different sort of style.
He still hasn't won anything in the Faroe Isles and Latvia...overrated player
Sanchez was poor in his last 6 months for Arsenal and there were rumours about him not getting along with his teammates. Thiago - well, he hasn't been poor for 6 months...and there are no rumours about him not getting along with his teammates.
They do.
Agree 100%, but Ed is smarter than us
You’re right. And I’m in finance. Go figure.
Shades of Di Maria/Sanchez about it. We should do a thorough character assessment before going anywhere near this one
To be fair, no one knew that Thiago would refuse to sign a new contract this summer. If Ed could read the future I’d be seriously impressed
I disagree, we should be all over him, he will instantly become the best MF we have. He is way better than Pogba.
I understand, but we were not under pressure to give Matic new contract.It make Ed look more scared to lose a 1st teamer than find the best available player on the market. The same apply for Mata. It basicaly making us look broke, with no money to get the best players

What's there to assess? The man hasn't had a single bad word said about him during his career and really wants to play in the prem. We also don't have a philosopher or a glorified bus driver in charge. He'd also come on the cheap. We also struggle when being pressed and he's one of the very best midfielders in the world in those situations. It makes too much sense not to try.
