TLDR WARNING...pantun 2 baris je pon...
i hav been following thiago years back in their academy before he sign extended contract with barca...that time i think he has 100mill release clause...ronaldinho still at prime at barca that time...the same year messi starting to dominate the world...thiago just miss the ship...the position that he play at barca is dominate by xavi,iniesta,busquet...or else he wud make the grade...then cesc coming back...he is down the pecking order...
for me thiago is a player that hav potential to be worldclass...he play with this calmness of a matured player...beyond his age...quality that i admire most...nothing seems to unfazed him...he just play his game...sort of how scholesy approach of the game...
but...at the moment...i think as much as i want n admire him to don our jersey...he will be surplus requirement...years ago if he didnt extended contract with barca n wait for his chances...maybe he is running our engine room now...replacing scholesy n retired the master early n no need make him do a comeback...
looking at the squad now...we hav kagawa, cleverley, ando, powell etc...lots of creative player that coming to age to showcase their talent...as pass 2 season is their learning curve in the top flight...so...i do see it as a waste of talent...thiago coming will limited their chances...n thiago will need to fight for place in the squad...tho i think he will be great signing if he do arrive...still he need time to settle down in the EPL game...
as much as i craving for spanish creativity close control pass in our side...let it be cesc/mata/thiago etc...i do think we need an enforcer in the middle of the park...tho its not an era of hardman enforcer the game hav change...i still do think at least we equip with the like of lung bursting player...as i think we need to compete with the likes chelsea's ramires, city's yaya n fernandinho...we need sort of player that can contain them...
BUT...whoever did moyes decide to bring in...i will berdiri tegang behind moyes...he hav his own approach to make us champion again...n i believe he will deliver with style...just my 2 inch...
p/s : sino not gonna read my pantun n give a dem...ahahahaha
i dont follow barca etc but from what i know thiago aint quite the same ship wt messi. cesc the ones hail from the same ship.. thiago more like the next ship. and he aint quite down pecking order when cesc comes.. he only start burst into 1st team the same year cesc coming.
for many years when a MC coming or rumours wt united people always talk bout someone to replace scholes or scholes roles.. but the truth is it never work that way here in united. we never find direct replacement for robson, cantona, keane, beckham, ronaldo etc.. when a player left we adapt wt the player we hv or the new player coming and change our style of play a bit.
if thiago came.. it sure going to limit some of the player chances but the last few season in some way we shown lacking of strength in tht area. ando struggles wt form and fitness. cleverley form also questionable. thts why we need to bring back scholes last time. kagawa more like forward midfield man.. powell? dunno as didnt see him play better loan him somewhere. if theres any position seem need strengthening its the MC area.. thts why fans been talking bout cesc, thiago, strootman, fellaini.. as for hardman enforcer type of player.. we dont play like tht at the moment.. we rely on carrick as our holding man..
whoever moyes decide to bring i really hope we did bring someone in MC position.
