Manchester United

I would actually love to see thiago and Anderson together in a midfield 3.

Whenever we play in a midfield 3 with Anderson he usually does a good job since he doesn't have to defend as much so he can focus more on attacking.

Thiago------Anderson
-------Carrick-------

Anderson is one player i hope we keep! Under proper man management he can do wonders

Thank you sir but we do need Thiago. He is not a starter in Barcelona but in United he would become a crucial midfielder in our line up with the potential to become one of the best!

If I was some Barcelona fans, I'd be worried.

Even if he doesn't come to United, he's not staying at Barcelona.

Lol and i'm really waiting for a moment for Messi to go to jail for tax fraud and say HA! Nothing can stop this slide!

But having said that, i sincerely hope we'd stop getting harassed by everybody and his dog about our transfer targets. Its really annoying

I think it's most likely that he'll stay, for several reasons, and I think in a few years, he could be a crucial player for them. Staying in Spain, playing along the Barca players, which make up for 90% of the Spanish national team, would probably also give him a chance to better develop for the Spanish side.

That said, I hope he doesn't see that and comes to United :P

the entire barca fanbase needs to be on suicide-watch if we land thiago..lol.. same goes for madrid fans and ronnie.

tbh even if we don't land him, it's great that we are being linked with some fan favorites of barca and madrid.. make them sweat a little, s**t their pants a little.. hahaha. it's only fair they get to experience this like everyone else ;P

Last week it was madrid fans invading our forum because of Ronaldo and now barca fans because of Thiago lol.

Easy Somere....lol.

Coutinho is amazing no doubt!I enjoy watching his football, he is actually one of the reasons why I started watching Liverpool's highlights to see his partnership with Sturridge.

Whoever said Coutinho wasn't good enough for United clearly knows nothing of football. He's more than good enough for any EPL team.
But considering our scouts have unearthed similarly-priced gems like Obertan and Bebe, who needs Coutinho?

I swear if it doesn't happen I'll kill you and Khalid. Slowlyyyy.

^HAHA I can relate.
As much as I like you, Darren, I might do the same :P

Khalid started it.....lol

Put him on a plane, bring him back from Spain! Viva Ronaldo, Viva Ronalo!!

Yeah, his death would be slow, whereas yours will be quick and painless :P

Btw, I'm kidding. Mods, please don't ban me lol

If we get Thiago and Strootman, we'd a have some fantastic options for our midfield. Carrick and Thiago would be the starters in a midfield 2 but against strong opposition or an away european game we can play a 4-3-3 with Carrick Thiago and Strootman. We'd have both steel and creativity there with ability to keep possession. Cleverley can play in a midfield 3 against PL teams for a fast attacking gameplay. There are so many possibilities with those options that we wouldn't be too static in there. Add to that we also have Ando who can be a good squad player if and when needed. If he leaves i wouldn't mind getting Van Ginkle.

As Prophet said options are important.

The club should look to bring two midfielders in this summer so we have a solid four man core of Carrick, Cleverley, Insert Name (hopefully Thiago), Insert Name (hopefully Strootman) to work with.

Each player brings there own dimension and a range of quality's to the table and its important that we have strong competition and diversity for the central midfield something we have had little to no competition in in recent years

I cant see Anderson being here beyond this summer tbh so I wont count him as a part of that for now.

Everyone else like Giggs, Rooney and even Jones should no longer be considered options for central midfield once this transfer window is done and dusted hopefully.

I know there's a lot of buzz about a possible Ronaldo return but honestly if we managed to get Thiago and Strootman in I would be delighted going into the new season.

As long as the central midfield gets addressed then I think we should be good going into the new season... We surely cannot go another summer without at least trying to make something happen in that department.

Yeah any 2 out of those 3 will do the trick.
I'm not sure how realistic it is to expect Ronaldo to resign this summer so i'm holding out for Thiago/Stroot.

Even if none of them do come to United...Giggs, Rooney and Jones should never play in the CM

Its hard to understand his accent but De Gea said that I invited Thiago to join United.

The lady asked Thaigo if his next destination was to England and Thiago said his next destination was Israel for the tournament.

Thiago also told his teammates to forget what is happening at their clubs and focus on the tournament.

The lady asked Thiago if he knows how to speak English and he said a little bit.

De Gea: I invite everyone and especially Thiago to come to Manchester.

Interviewer: Astounding how a player like yourself could have a clause of only 18 million.

Thiago: Well , I think for us that's allot of money. That's football and I think it's something independent from what we're experiencing with the selection(Spain) at the moment.

Interviewer: I wanted to ask if you're future will lie in England? I've heard it's likely that you'll leave? I would assume that you'd like to play more often right?

Thiago: Yes, I think my future for the time being is Israel...."(U21 competition)

Interviewer(interrupts asking): Is it England, is it?

Thiago: I don't know, At the moment we put every other matter aside , to focus on this competition so that it can go well. I told my teammates the same, let's put everything in relation to our clubs aside and do what we has to be done to achieve the very best with the selection."

Interviewer: Do you speak English?

Thiago: "Yes."

That's everything in relation to United basically , then the interview takes a sudden turn about rumors if Messi and Neymar will be pals at Barca or if stardom will effect their relationship , which Thiago denies blah blah etc.

I Was pretty bored so yeah, lol.

Thanks guys,
Hope he comes.

Ronaldo news aside, Valencia's going back to the #25? Awwww yes, bring back AV25, that guy was an absolute demon on the wings.

If it was Thiago getting that number, I'd be more than happy, too.

David Beckham is coming home and does a Scholes. ... #exclusive #yesss

"Now that the U21 European Championships are over, movement from Thiago’s camp is expected to come very quickly.

In comparison, United officially unveiled De Gea’s signing within less than a week after the conclusion of the 2011 U21 Championships and United fans will certainly be hoping that a deal can be swiftly agreed rather than a summer long transfer saga."

and apparently morata (u-21 teammate) confirmed in an interview that thiago has had significant offers for his services. significant enough for him to consider leaving. hope these guys arent mind-f*****g us.

Apparently Roman has been watching Thiago in Israel for the past lil while...bastard

Not sure if this one has been posted but it is Strootman vs Italy u21.

Strootman & Thiago would be ideal for us and enough for me. Of course if we do manage to get both of them and Ronaldo at the same time would be nothing less then a dream come true.

lol if we get ronaldo we better sell some players or else they'd never see the pitch

Sell Young for all I know and although I don't really want to see Nani go, if it's for Ronaldo's expense then I'd have no problems with that either.
