The comparisons put that way are a little inaccurate purely because you and Madrid play different systems and you end up comparing different types of players, comparing Xavi to Ozil there for instance, 2 completely different players. You guys play a 4-3-3, how many Real Madrid players would you...

So if spain are down 1,2 maybe 3 players regardless of his performances Del Bosque will just ignore Thiago anyway? is that what your saying? sounds an odd way for a coach to well coach but there you go. Im not saying he'll go to the WC if he joins x y or z, im saying it surely gives him a...

Moyes will have us playing a style that resembles 1970s Brazil, a bit of the dutch total football thrown in which then begins morphing into modern day Barcelona within 3 weeks. Trust me :)

Yeah probably true, but injurys are a fact of life its part of the game, we saw last season Xavi was struggling physically toward the end of the year, all it takes is a nasty collision or a pulled muscle and an opportunity presents itself, its all about being in a position to be able to take...

Possibly, but not if Xavi only gets injured towards the end of the year having played the majority of the season. On the Brazil point why didnt he choose them? if be a guaranteed starter for Brazil even now id wager, do you think he regrets making Spain his choice given the competition?

Thats what i think mate yes, i think he knows barring injury spains first choice midfield is off limits for now, much like Barcelonas midfield really, but he knows he could make the squad if hes given the chance to show his abilities often enough on the big stage, and once you make the squad...

You cant say he wont get called up mate, a year is a long time in football, Xavi could get a serious injury a week before the tournament, Iniesta could be injured to, you dont know, fact remains that dosnt make a jot of difference if Thiago isnt playing anyway, at least if he is playing he gives...

Maybe hed just be happy being in the squad and being taken to Brazil to be part of it, something hes never getting sitting on the bench all season, again you cant predict what will happen this time next year, for all you know Spain could be without 2 or 3 key midfield players due to injury this...

Since when did Madrd use logic when buying players?? they go for any big name they can get their hands on regardless of position and requirements, take Bale as another example where the hell does he fit in between Ronaldo, Di Maria, Ozil, Modric, Kaka and now Isco not to mention Callejon...

Lets all have a disco City fucked by isco La la la la la la la la Sorry, been getting it in the neck from a few city fans insisting Isco was theres and how theyd walk the league next year with him hes miles better than Thiago etc etc City forums have even been making up songs with the tune...

:lol::lol::lol::lol: Probably the best gif in the history of the internet? Superb whoever did that is a genius!

Still not buying this logic that Thiago staying 4th choice midfielder at Barca for another year some how gives him a better chance of getting to the world cup over regular football at another club, seems like bizarre logic to me, especially as his current situation has him nowhere near the...

There wouldn't be any suicides (well hopefully not) lot of disappointment but we've been here many times before, last summer alone we had this with both Hazard and Lucas Moura, we're used to getting so close then missing out, its why i reckon it'll happen again, keep thinking if it was going to...

I agree Xavi is slowing down i think everyone can see it, but surely if he was slowing down enough for Thiago to be given his chance your manager would have told Thiago exactly this already? thats what dosnt make sense and why i questioned it, i agree with what your saying and if i were Barca...

Lol fair enough.

Really? that seems to go against what Vilanova told him in a meeting before the U21 tournament so we're led to believe, Thiago asked if hed get more games this season and Tito said he couldn't guarantee that, Thiago is one they think of for the future not the present. So how do you know this was...

Where has the overdependance on Messi thing come from? a couple of years ago you had that 3 pronged attack of Messi - Eto'o - Henry that was deadly, 3 genuine goalscorers and it worked brilliantly, is it simply down to Messi wanting to play through the middle now and hence its become all about...

Yeah i know sorry my internets messing up tonight keeps freezing on the page and saying it hasnt sent when it has :( Not doing it intentionally i assure you.

Yeah the David Luiz link is odd, hes a horrendous centre back which is why Chelsea started using him in midfield, hes got lots of ability but his defending is awful he makes so many mistakes its untrue, that and the fact hed cost you millions i dont get why youd be that keen on him, far better...

Marquinhos be your first choice for centre back? dont follow Italian football much at all so seen very little of him. As for Cryuff, The "maybe barca should sell Messi" comments were a bit odd, sounds like you see him as your version of our very own Paddy crerand, they love the club but...
