Thiago Translantara

[Nothanks]

I don't understand the people begging for arthur + de jong AND thiago..

thiago is 27 not 31, 2 young players + alena will not work for the next 4 years we'd stunt the progress of the youngsters trying to manage too many players.

also rakitic is not leaving, not this summer atleast unless some team comes out bidding high which is unlikely.

 

[MTL_Barca]

He is so good

 

[Andresito]

Good but not as foolproof with the passning as Xavi, Busquets or Iniesta.
A little too nonchalant at times.

He's nowhere near Busi, Iniesta and Xavi. He's not even 10% of those but still a world class midfielder (far better than Pjanic).

 

[Yannik]

Played great, but subbing Iniesta kinda killed Spains flow. I think he should've been on for Koke.

 

[JamDav1982]

He made a ridiculous poor pass when Spain under pressure near end.

Was not that impressive when came on.

Koke was invisible in the first half. Thiago over him for Spain anyday.

I felt the same, as their game lost some sense when Iniesta and Silva were subbed off.

That's where Thiago lacks compared to Spain's greats.

 

[clemente]

Was actually incredible when he came on, such a dream player to have

 

[te amo barca]

He had a classic Thiago moment when he gave the ball away dangerously. Trademark move. He is somewhat careless with his passing for a midfield maestro. Still good though. We need a player like him.

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

I wasn't impressed. Not an upgrade to Rakitic.

 

[Ursegor]

What's the obsession with him? He gets benched by every coach in big games and if he is available for transfer and so good why is his old father figure Pep not all over him anymore or Madrid to replace ageing Modric or even a team like Manchester United or Liverpool?

I swear this forum overrates him because of his potential 5 years ago.

 

[Cruijffista]

He should be starting over Koke for Spain.

 

[BarçaBarça]

We are not 1 inch closer to getting him because Griezmann turned us down. I'd say our chances diminished a bit, actually.

Yes, you rather have Paulinho, Gomes, and Raki instead of Isco, Thiago and Busquet's midfield. If it was the case, we would have dominated the UCL for many years. You have to understand, without Messi this team would be at the bottom half in La liga, and you think Thiago is not Barca material. FFS Bojan should impose psychometric test before allowing people to post here!
