Thiago Translantara

[Metaphysical]

the ideal scenario is we keep t-bone, he has a breakout season and becomes established, and then we sign cesc next season anyway.

we need them both. xavi will be 31 in a year and iniesta only plays half a season.

now where's jamrock to say "I told you so" about this kid?

 

[Valon]

even one who is anyone knew thiago would be the next best thing to come out of barca.

Buy a DM and rotate JDS,Thiago and JDS in midfield, Done.

Here Meta.

Looking forward to seeing more of him this season

 

[ZenI]

Also looking forward to see more of him. The problem with our lineup is that we don't have a real backup for Xavi; so playing Iniesta and one of Dos Santos or Thiago would be to risky since they can't hold on to the ball like Xavi can (but who can?) - this midfield would expose us to much. The only possible combination is playing Thiago/Dos Santos with Xavi, but than Xavi won't get much rest this season - that would probably be the biggest advantage of signing Cesc.

He will be better than Cesc.

 

[Plip]

Or is it so, that Cesc is the utter pinnacle of evolution of midfielders and players better than him may not ever come to existence?

 

[barca96]

pep better play him lots this season.
if not he will be gone next season, remember his clause

Yip. cesc is good.....very very good in fact but this summer's speculation has seen him reach mythical status!

No, what's up with his clause?

 

[Plip]

No, what's up with his clause?

Something about a sufficient amount of first team football etc.

 

[barca96]

Something about a sufficient amount of first team football etc.

yup. thats a very dangerous clause..
could just walk away for free next season

 

[FCBarca]

True but have to believe Pep will be mindful of that, tbh

 

[Trequartista]

I still fear that JDS will be still ahead of him in Pep's order,One of them should go on loan.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Hope pep is mindful of that!

Come on Thiago hopefully he'll have a good match against France
