Its really concerning that the board is just idly sitting back and watching this guy slowly dismantle everything that Pep and I would even say Rijkaard built. There are times where I really get the impression with Tito from what he says to the press and his attitude on the pitch that he really doesn't have a clue what he is doing atm. Regardless of whether or not he knew about the clause, he simply should have played him more anyway. Busi, Pique, Pedro all wouldn't be the household names that they are if Pep hadn't given them a chance to make their mark on the team. Thiago fully warrants such a commitment due to his pure talent and potential.
With this whole saga tho, it's rather hard to discern what Thiago's true motivation is. The timing is very strange. Like if anything I could have seen Thiago trying this at the beginning of this season, not now, to try a move like this to get playing time. Bc Thiago is either after two things: a starting spot or more money. If its the latter, he will most definitely leave. If its the former, give him the spot. Let's give him a legitimate shot to replace Xavi so if he does, great we got a new Xavi who can dribble. If not, he hopefully will be humbled and will realize his time is literally right around the corner.
