I don't get it, we have failed to address our midfield problem since our last champions league win. It's been 4 seasons now were our midfield has been absolutely average. Some mid table teams in England have a better central midfield than Manchester United. Can you believe that? It's useless to...

Can you guys do us a favor and give us Xavi when he retires?

All over Italian news that he signed for Roma. 17m euros, 2.2m a year in salaries. I think we had all our eggs in the Thiago basket.

If this rumor is true, we're going into next season with the magnificent, fearsome central midfield of Carrick, Cleverley, Anderson and Giggs. I hope that God is always there watching over us.

He's not that good anyway, Anderson is way better. Carrick shits on Thiago aswell. We've also got Powell which is 5 times the talent.

He's going to Bayern. I say good luck to him getting a game ahead of Gotze, Kroos and Schweinsteiger. Would've been better off waiting for Xavi to retire.

If you look up some incidents he had with Everton players in the past, not just diving; He tends to punish them even if they don't get punished by the FA. I'm not saying that Barcelona are divers, I'm saying that the likes of Busquets and Dani Alves create a very bad image over the team. I...

Don't put mud on our name, Man Utd players don't dive or else they get punished by David Moyes. Sure, we've had the occasional dive from Rooney and Nani but only to get penalties. I would prefer to call it exaggerated contact.The likes of Busquets are criminal in the game and dive and fake being...

Both Mundo Deportivo and Sport running the same story, hyping up Sergi Roberto as Thiago's replacement. Is he that good? If he is, I take it he would be another great player we could get to partner Thiago in midfield.

How do you explain people from United's side telling ESPN that we are very confident of a deal? This is ESPN we're talking about not some random ITK from twitter.

Even if you say so, United have offered Thiago 3 times the wages he has at Barca. That's 140k/week. Unless you can better that even on monetary terms, he will never agree to stay. Money is the best lure for young players.

He had various occasions when asked by the media to say that he will stay at Barca. When asked at the International tournament he either ignored the journalists or said that he will sort out his future after the U21 tournament.

We play Kagawa behind the striker or as a left winger. On the other hand, Thiago will be signed to partner carrick.

Barcelona want to keep a healthy relationship with Manchester United so they would never make us pay tax. They will treat it like a normal transfer. We sold you Pique with no problems at all and you're giving us a hell of a time to buy Thiago from you.

Man Utd don't need to bid as long as they have permission from Barca to speak to Thiago, else they would take us to court because that is tapping up like you did with Fabregas. There's no fee to discuss, it's 18m Euros and we won't pay 1 penny more or 1 penny less. A few days ago Miguel Delaney...

What if Guardiola is ready to make promises? He's someone he knows and trusts unlike David Moyes. I still don't believe that Thiago will join us. We always fail on these kind of transfers. Lucas, Hazard, Nasri, Coentrao, Varane and Sneijder just to name a few.

Paulo Freitas a Sky Sports reporter on his twitter account @Cynegeticus confirmed that that article by sports.es are referring to actual quotes with a slight inaccuracy made by them. Zubi only said that Thiago Alcantara is a lost cause. He never actually said that he's Man Utd bound. My bet is...

Sport.es running that story, AS running that Mazinho is selling or sold his restaurant, SKY saying that they're hearing of a strong possibility of Thiago being announced tomorrow. It all adds up. You either accept it or stay in denial. Personally, I've already ordered the kit from ManUtd.com...

You're saying that Catalan press is lying? What good would that do to them?

It's all in the Gundogan article. A spanish guy on twitter Rafael Hernandez gave a brief summary of what it says. And Yes, Barca want Gundogan as a replacement as I posted yesterday or earlier today, can't keep track of time.
