Still think he would be a great CM dir us, IF we even want to play Barca Style again. He isn't anywhere near Xavi obviously but who is? The best CMs for us would probably be Kroos and Modric but they play for Madrid. Besides that you don't really find world class always delivering playmakers. De Bruyne or Silva are more AM but could play it as Pep shows. But even then lost hard to hard and they have Pep instead of Valverde. Verratti? Even better than Thiago IMO but also not deciding a big game after the other. Eriksen also isn't deciding one big game after the other and is more of the AM side as well. Saul and Koke are great, not really playmakers but for us quite well but also both impossible to get. Pjanic? Good player, bit also not perfect. In the end all of them are like 100M+ while not proven on that level.
Thiago plays like idk how to call it, arrogant? At least it looks like that, just not 100% focused on every pass but besides that he has everything a Barca CM needs to have.
The problem with every CM is we cant expect another Xavi or some sort of savior, one player cant solve our midfield alone it's also about the other players and tactics but i'm sure it would work AND look way better with Thiago instead of Gomes, Roberto, Denis, Paulinho etc
But in the end this is pointless, the only chance to get Thiago back at a reasonable price would be Bayern wanting him out but i don't see that happening and even then we would probably watch him go to City or United while we snatch some mediocre la liga player for 40M or ignore the midfield once again.
