The way City are playing this season I doubt there is a place for Thiago to excel in.
Not even sure Pep was in for him either.

Bundesliga is a joke

Because CL has too many trash teams nowadays, bundesliga teams arent going far in CL beside Bayern.

Right now I'm watching Crystal Palace - Burnley and the only difference with a SD Huesca game is that there is no sunshine.

Have you seen the groups of Leipzig and Gladbach this season in which they qualified for the knockouts?

You are right, he would struggle to get in the team right now but his style suits them really well I think, he struggled to get in the Bayern team too with a fully fit squad.
I don't know why so many people have a hate boner for the Bundesliga, it has the most consistently entertaining games imo, and is a really strong league, probably not on par with the Premier League or La Liga but not far off either. Obviously, people can't spend all their free time watching football but I would recommend giving it a shot as it can offer up really exciting games, I only started watching it 2018 and I'm glad I did.

Glad we didn't have social media back when Messi was breaking through the ranks. There was just Myspace.

Try to name any decent la liga players that top clubs would be after out of the top 4/5 and will be struggling.
Compare quality in EPL to same teams and it is night and day with the players can list.
Doesn't mean they are better. Man Utd is in Top 4 and they could not get past UCL group stage.

Neither does being better gtee to come out of CL group neither does that compare quality in the rest of league.
Lets see what teams do better in Europe. That compares the top sides but for remainder of league the difference in players in clear.

A lot of people thought that Thiago will improve Liverpool immensely.
I have never been a huge fan of Thiago, but still, there is an unwritten rule in football: "don't change the winning team".
Current players have their chemistry and automatic type of actions and movement.
A weaker player on paper who knows the system is often better than the new guy who looks way better on paper.
About Thiago, I still think that our fans overrated him a lot.
At Barca he was meh.
In the NT team he is meh.
At Liverpool he is bad.
He played well only at Bayern, but a lot of Bayern's players look like monsters at Bayern and meh outside of Bayern, just like Atletico's players.
Imo, Liverpool was better with workhorses midfielders from last season that with Thiago.
Also, he looks way more suitable for Barca's type of football than for Liverpool's faster game.
