But confirming he isn't signing a new deal doesn't exactly rule out him not leaving, as he still has a long while to go, doesn't he?

Though, I'm just being very picky here until it's totally official. It's all too vague. Why can't they Tweet "Mazinho confirms Thiago is set to tell Barca to shove it up your bollocks and play for United forever and ever" ?

:lol:

If that tweet is true, he's off. Barca aren't going to keep an unhappy player, especially one who isn't even a starter.

The question is whether we are his destination.

Ok no idea how reliable @centralsources are but this is what they just tweeted.

BREAKING NEWS #Thiago#Alcantara's father confirms the midfielder will NOT
be signing a new deal at #Barcelona.#FCB.

I'm not casting aspersions against you as you're merely reporting the tweet, but why should we believe anything that account says? Twitter's just one giant WUM when it comes to stuff like this.

If they keep him a bit longer, this cut-price clause expires at least.

As I say though, I'm just being very picky at all these 'reports' until it's fully official that Thiago has signed and it's nailed on.

No worries mate, like you I am hoping that this is not a bullshit account.
Just sharing whats out there on twitterverse, the good and the bad.

For a forum that has usually has a very good sense of humour, you'd think people would know when a joke has been flogged to death

It is possible, but I think that would just be bad for all parties involved.

I agree with you though, until we see that white sheet I won't believe anything.

Good point, lets go back to the serious talk.

I personally don't think he's coming as he will be too expensive after the U21s and Barca wont want to sell him.

Aye, fair enough. I'll not lie to you, I'd fecking love it if it was true!

The one thing that's exciting me about this rumour is that there's no smoke without fire, and all that. This transfer does seem to have some traction. Just hope it doesn't go the way of Ozil, Sneijder and Hazard.

Well we clearly are interested and have spoken with his agent. Craig Norwoods tweet more or less confirms that for any doubters. Remains to be seen if Barca will convince him to stay but lets hope he ends up coming here as it looks like will happen.

I must wank immediately.
Thanks for this. My boss surprisingly came around my desk to talk to me. I had just been looking at pictures of some very hot, naked Brazilian ladies and quickly clicked the next explorer tab over to change to something more innocuous looking. Your post was the first one on the page. I would've preferred he thought I was looking at porn instead of some gay masturbation forum.

I heard he has a release clause?

I don't see how Norwood would be ITK though - chances are he's just recycling rumours.

The best sign that something's afoot is the fact that the Catalan press are starting to throw their toys out of the pram.
