The "Thiago-story" is a mess and the management and Tito have to be blamed for this. I think he will go to United -.- I hope he proves me wrong!
Partially yes. But they did their job. If he was played more, maybe xavi or fab would have been thinking about leaving. The thing is he just exploded in the tournament and now proved that he can do the job. So he will be given a fair chance next season, if he decides to stay.
If i remember the season correctly, in short spells he made much more mistakes than xavi and fab on the pitch, in a game, gave to ball away too. It was okay as he is young and much more direct and much more of a risk taker than those two. Yes it makes him unique and a special talent. But given our core midfield obsession, one thing which is considered absolute essential for a midfielder here is that he doesn't makes a wrong pass or gives the ball away.As last season may there were doubts of him taking a full time job. He certainy is ready now.
I understand all this need to go away. And i will respect his decision, should he chose to leave. But i won't be too upset about it. As he should understand that it was the same age, when xavi and iniesta both came into lime lights. Its his year, and the club in which he want to be, it totally his choice. And if he really loves this club and dreamt about playing here, he will certainly give them one last chance. Surely.
I have no doubt, that management and tito will do their best to convince him to stay. They will offer him a better and improved contract, with probably better stakes, and more contractual minutes in it. As a guarantee for our trust in him.
