This is my first post here and I'm a Spurs fan. I was hoping we could put in a cheeky bid for Thiago lol
But I agree with Premier teams taking your young talent especially Arsenal the idiots and not Chelsea and Liverpool. At least we have a link with you and you lot only give us your left overs!
That Hector Bellerin lad that plays for Arsenal's U21's I think he came from Barcelona? He looks a proper quality right back in the making. I think you may go back in for him in the future.
I think Thiago should probably stay at Barcelona but you don't do him any favours. He's top quality and probably should have got more game time especially with Xavi's injury problems. Saying that I could see why he'd want to leave you've just signed Neymar and I guess Fabregas will be pushed back deeper and get playing time ahead of Thiago.
If he does leave I think going to United would be good for the player. They need another top quality midfielder. I know Van Persie won Premier League golden boot but I think Carrick was their most important player. Without him United wouldn't have won the title and they rely on him so much, you can see the big difference when Carrick starts and when he doesn't. Fortunate for them Carrick doesn't get injured. But if Man U sign Thiago I see them being a force next season both in the Premier League and Champions league.
As for us I hope we go in for Tello, isn't his release clause 10m euros?
With Paulinho signing, then hopefully we take Villa off your hands then tempt Tello, we would then have a good squad ready to challenge for top four again.
