If I knew Thiago was leaving I would have advocated for 11JR in Manchester. NEYMAR+THIAGO=FUTURE!!!

Numerous reports of United going for Thiago if they can't land Cesc have come out...
With all the talks of Thiago being sold I can't see 1)Why we would allow that to happen or 2)Why we would let him go but keep Cesc.
If we can keep both, great. But if 1 has to (or will) be sold we should sell Cesc. Both are fantastic players but Cesc's best moments come behind the strikers...

Look at his assist for Soldado the other day or his best moments with Barca, he plays the #10 position in the hole behind the strikers. We do not play this way.
Selling Thiago we only make 18 mil but lose a player who has come through our academy and learned/trained with the best midfielders (Xavi/Iniesta) ever. His performance in the u21 tournament showed that he is more than just another Masia player, he was a true leader and rock in midfield.
Selling Cesc would get us 35+ mil for a player who has played most of his professional career in England and outside of the Barcelona system. When all are fully fit Cesc can't displace Xavi or Iniesta. For me at the most he'll be able to cover the Xavi role once he's as old as Pirlo and no longer has the legs to do what he is currently capable of. We don't need to pay such high wages for a bench player who MAY one day fill a role or can sometimes play at False 9.
Thiago's performances at the u21's are clear proof we have a WORLD CLASS midfielder who isn't anywhere near his full potential and will one day be worth more than Cesc ever was. Letting him go will be a mistake that will take us a long time to recover from.
Cesc is not blocking thiago for the last time. cesc is an understudy for Inesta. It was foolish of people to think he was Xavi replacement when his game is nowhere near the same, yes cesc can play cm but he is am by trade. It's Xavi eating up thiago's minutes. Instead of playing him on painkillers they could of used thiago they did not. Cesc played some of those games in inestas position with the don playing out wide. Thiago sub for Xavi Cesc sub for Inesta
Much more to come from cesc
