Didn't we learn nothing from Cesc fiasco?
Arthur and Alena deserve minutes. Thiago made his choices and it's not like he's a world beater. Oh, and the injuries...
Arthur will be a starter this year, irrespective of Thiago i believe. EV is considering switching to 4-3-3 with messi as a false 9 at the top.
If a world-class md comes, the one who will see more of the bench this season is Rakitic, not Arthur. Paulinho, who was a player offering different things at md, left.
We desperately need a md.
I have already expressed my opinion at Kante's thread that he is the player we need to complement what we have. However, it is unlikely that we will even try to get him. Given what else is available/we are considering, Thiago is maybe no1 option right now..
