Forget the playing time clause, Tito never made Thiago welcome or gave him assurances his time would come. He played players based on their name. Bayern had even more competition than Barca but he went there as he had a coach who believed in him and made him feel welcome. I as a fan was fed up with Tito, imagine what the ignored players like Thiago would feel like.

he needed a certain ammount of minutes for his clause to reach 80 M ( IIRC ) . The league was already won but Tito didn't play Thiago. If I'm not mistaken , Thiago needed 60 or 90 minutes more than he had in the end for his clause to reach 80 M.

That clause also included that Thiago would need a certain number of minutes per appearance for it to count towards the total. Thiago wouldn't have reached that even if he were played at the end of the season.

Maybe you could buy Cazorla for £25m from us? :xavi:

Give us Ramsey for 25m and you have a deal else eff off

If atleast Thiago was assured by the coach and the board that his time would come he would have stayed but they didnt even bother. They actually thought that 25m for a "benchwarmer" was good business :lol::lol:

It doesn't seem he wants to come, and if he does, he will cost most of transfer budget, I would like Xavi to stay another year+ buying his successor now.

He's affordable easily . We have a fund of 120 million PLUS anything raised from outgoing players ..

That's not coach's fault. I've read somewhere that board (Rosell) did not tell coach that Thiago must play so much for increased buyout clause. He said he never gave such contract details to coach, because that would be an interference in coach duties and he did not want to influence squad selection in such way.

Not this again....

Tito said: "I do not look at players' contracts when selecting them. I pick the players who deserve to play."

He knew.

Of course he knew. Thiago was sold to make cash for Thiago Silva, but in he end it didn't work.
