but it is a fact that the barca coaches sees thiago also as a dm, pep has already stated it. tito has already stated that song can be used as cm. simply isolating a few players to certain positions and saying that song or busi has nothing to do with thiagos playing time is just wrong. thats not how any barca coach or former barca coach operates. AMs are frequently converted to DMs (like yaya, busi), or to CMs like Deco or DMs are converted to CMs (like Xavi) or CBs. we need to accept that this is the reality of barca, its been going on for a very long time. we would still have messi and puyol playing on the right and xavi as our dm if we simply refuse to see what our coaches always do.
