Decent player. Would prefer sergio busquets anytime. Class act, can play Defensive Mid or Centre back when needed, something like Phil Jones( the other way around) but better.

Busquets? the one who roll on the grass feigning pain but played a peek-a-boo with the camera?

Haha, I just remembered that part, something that David Luis followed soon after

Cesc + rvp in mu. Some fans gonna be soooo rage.

lol, that's the reason i don't want him here

for me, if no Cesc, then Thiago+Fellaini should be enough to bolster our midfield for now, then get one of Bale or Ronaldo, and my muppet season is complete

Bale seems out of reach already. Signed a new contract, so probably he will remain for another season. But Ronaldo seems likely, welcome home our king

buy bale/CR7, our team is complete at least for 1-2 years ... We need a bit of overhaul when seniors like Ferdinand, gigs, carrick hang their boots ..

if rooney rumour of leaving is true, get lewandowski or falcao .. .. oh . .am I in fantasy football?

I see what you did there.

Better get tiago..i remember that guy who scored a freekick against us in a pre season friendly last time. But i dont think he will want to come. his barca dna too strong..haha

fun fact:

Since Arsenal last won silverware: 23 ex-Gunners win 56 major trophies … and counting

well that's the heading for a journo's report, now its 57 coz Eduardo just won the Ukrainian Cup with Shaktar Donetsk today

really? i dont think so.. how many Barca games do u watched last 2 seasons?

IMO he is more Xavi/Iniesta/Fabregas type. naturally a CM that could play AM. certainly not Busquets type of player.

he was (among) Guardiola golden boy. played lesser this season. i think at this moment he is thinking to join Guardiola and Bayern. but Bayern also have strong midfielders core, as good as Barca. in World Cup year, i dont think he is willing to that risk (to join Bayern).

joining United also a less appeal, but to competition with the likes of Cleverley /Anderson/Powell/Giggs/Carrick, i think Thiago have a great prospect to play as a regular starter for United.

i expect him to sign a better deal with Barca. but this rumour sound better than Fellaini et al.

Well, that's your opinion that you prefer him over Busquets. Nothing wrong with another fan preferring Busquets over him. They are both diff type of players, Busquets being more a holding midfielder while is Thiago more attack minded. I have not watched any Thiago play but I think Busquets is a very very good player. Disciplined and a good reader of the game. He is as important as Xavi/Iniesta to Barca's midfield. His presence there allows them the freedom to move forward.

First and foremost. I don't like Barca. I don't watch their games. Secondly, I support Spain, so if watching the Spain team's entire Euro/World Cup campaign where Busquets operates as a holding midfielder or sometimes a defender counts, yeah. And do not question my views on Busquest, does the number of games you watched makes you a better critic than others? And since when watching the number of games allows you to be judgmental over other's views? For your information, Busquest and Tiago are two different players. What happened to your past 2 seasons statement? You claimed to be well knowledgeable but cannot tell the difference between the two players? Come on.

And, it's HAVE YOU WATCHED. Not DO YOU WATCHED.

didn't have a hint of wanting to come Man Utd but he's hinting to stay in spurs. RM wants him badly.

CR7 definitely ;p he has grown a lot.

He should remain in England, it's best for him. Im afraid he'll be like Modric if he jumps to Madrid

Saw a news on twitter that ronaldo has put his house up for sale...hmm...

that can be simply because he got himself a bigger house mah!

hahahahha, I definitely hope something MORE than that.. Just worried that he's coming to England for blue not for red.. I trust him. Once a devil, always a devil...

IMO, Utd should buy another midfielder this summer, who it is, depend on what formation / tactics DM going to deploy.
Kagawa is the one that I prefer in the playmaker role in the centre / behind RVP. I've never liked Kagawa playing on the wings. Just like what Klopp said. Sad indeed to see him in that position..

Carrick should be in front of the back four and deployed as the deep laying playmaker / CM.
I know..playing too much FM2013..

Are Utd going to use wingers under DM?
Or should he use wingless formation?

Who should partner RVP or is he going to be the only stiker in this formation?

Imagine Bale and CR7 in this team... £100 millions++

------RVP-------
----Kagawa-----

?--Cleverly / Ando ?---?

----Carrick-----

Evra-Vidic-Rio-Rafael

------DDG--------

Roytomas punya formation was DM's feveret formation few years back, which saw thomas gravesen shone whole season.

Formation doesnt matter to me. What matter is who is going out/in OT when comes 1jul. Most forums saying ando + nani + roon are most likely.
