You're not even a real journalism
not as bad as the Bojan/Fabregas but as the saying goes - if history really repeats itself......i think we should expect the same thing again
yeah, it was all bullshit anyway...
there is seriously no way Pep would sell Thiago this summer...
the kid will be in our first team squad next season...

While Thiago Alcantara’s name can be found among the many transfer rumours currently in circulation, his father, Mazinho, has made Thiago’s position clear: the lad is staying in Barcelona.
Taking into account all these rumours, Mazinho intervened today on the microphones of radio network Onda Cero Barcelona, in the program “Ona Esportiva” which is aired at noon. He was very clear when speaking about the future of his son: “Thiago’s future is Barça, there is nothing more to be said.”
The Barceloniste’s father explained that if the situation is other than that, Barça should speak about it. Regarding the issue, he stated: “You should talk to Barcelona, not to us. We are calm, we’ve got a contract. There’s nothing, only a contract with Barça and that’s it, nothing more, we haven’t spoke to anyone, and not to the club and I think we’ll go on the same way. We’re happy and we hope to triumph in Barcelona,” he added.
To many, Thiago’s problem may be Cesc’s arrival. Are they compatible? “These are things you should ask the club, not me, the lad is very happy here. I’m not a coach to answer if he and Cesc are compatible. These are the club’s issues, I only know that he’s happy. Now, he has his mind concentrated on the European U21s and as agreed, on the 18th of July he’ll be with his teammates [back in Barcelona].”
Closing the theme, Mazinho doesn’t doubt the quality of his son. “Thiago has now demonstrated what he can do in the games that he played this season. He did it well, he’s happy with the team and he has a professional contract he wants to complete,” concluded the Brazilian.
Thiago not concentrating or overconfidence cannot be overlooked anymore. It can only be overlooked 1 or 2 times, not every time the player plays.
Positives:
good technique
good mental speed
good passing
decisive
Negatives:
overconfident
lack of concentration which leads to him losing a lot of balls due to sloppyness.
