Thiago Translantara

[Aryagorn]

Happy birthday boy... Sure must be having a good time after having scored such an important goal last night

 

[Metaphysical]

He's the physical manifestation of Xaviesta

not with the way he gives the ball away,

 

[barcetia]

not with the way he gives the ball away,

thank you.

he needs to concentrate more. way more. he gives the ball away in the wrong areas and often not by a mispass but by overtrying his dribbles.
keep it simple thiaghoe.

 

[USWAY]

not with the way he gives the ball away,

He'll get better at that. But I hope as he improves at that aspect, he doesn't stop attacking the net and scoring like Xaviesta.

 

[Catalonian Devil]

not with the way he gives the ball away,

All will come with time and experience, he has got all the ingredients, even Xaviesta wasn't that good as his age

This.
Anyone else remember how bad Ini was in front of goal? Thiago's doing extremely well.

 

[gingerless]

refer to the words i threw in my post earlier, it's so pointless posting here nowadays everyone says the same thing over and over again

Late, but happy birthday Thiago

 

[FCBarca]

thank you.

At times, it's not even overtrying, he looks like he's on the training ground trying out some cute flick for the fans or something...There was one against Almeria that really p'd me off that could've ended up in a very dangerous counter

That's the thing I have a hard time understanding with the kid, this is a recurring issue with him...At least it was early rather than late as it appeared he increased his focus as the match went on...Do love the way he will go in to win a ball back

They knew when to pass, when to keep it simple and when to try something more extravagant from the very beginning. Thiago (as good as he is) doesn't seem to, yet.

 

[reno]

Agreed, he needs to play it more simple. Maybe take a note out of Wilshere's book? Same age and both are great talents, how Wilshere plays it more simple and effective, barely gives the ball away.

 

[Cal-FCB]

He's more of a risk taker than Xaviesta, patience will come with experience. The attacking instincts and flair he has gives him the chance to offer us something different to those two, so he shouldn't be changed too much.

 

[SwiftGuyver]

i think Busquets is the natural heir to Xavi's throne...

Thiago will offer us a more attacking option...he is immensely talented and should hopefully cut the odd mistakes out of his game with time and experience...

 

[IL Professore]

mmmmmmm, no. busi is our current and future defensive mid, and any plots to dislodge him from his throne will be foiled. see:Mascherano

although many say thiago is xavi's heir, i think he is iniestas. his style of play is more similar to iniestas than xavi's, and hes more attacking.
