No idea why he didn't start but he came on and changed the game. Thiago's technique is poetry in motion; exuberant and flawless.

Gave up on watching Norway vs Spain tonight as soon as I saw Thiago was on the bench.

I was looking forward to it too. Cunts.

Agree. That was the worst Spanish football I've ever seen.

Think about it: This is also the same guy that was leading interception and tackle statistics in the Top 5 leagues not too long ago.

Thiago back for 40-50m?

What do people think?

de Jong - physical CDM - Thiago/Arthur

No. How old is he btw. Should be near 29 or so.

I think we can do better than Thiago. And I want a different profile. More of a phisical player.

I want a physical player for the CDM position, but for the CM/AM position I don't see many such players. You have Kai Havertz who I like, but there's some serious questions about his fit and him becoming another Fabregas/Coutinho.

Perhaps Fabian Ruiz, but he'll easily cost 100m+ with him being tied until 2023 and De Laurentiis' reputation as a negotiator.

Also the AM position is unsure of its purpose when you have central Messi who drops deep often.

Something like de Jong - Camavinga - Thiago/Arthur/Fabian Ruiz would be interesting.

Right now we effectively play with 3 DMs in Busi, Raki and De Jong.

I would steel the midfield until Messi retires and from then on we can talk.

By the time Messi retires Thiago would be too old.

Sorry dawgs but I'll never want back someone who was supossed to be our starter and left us to go somewhere else , not even mentioning that signature he put on his farewell leter.

I'd have him on a free. Basically a more seasoned version of Arthur but better at defending.

Also way older. I'd rather trust and develop Arthur.
