The Official Thiago Love Thread

[Nimreitz]

Thiago Alcántara is a 20 year old Spanish/Italian/Brazilian central midfielder who came up through Barcelona's legendary La Masia Academy. Last year he had just as many performances for Barca B as he did for the Barcelona seniors, and got most of his appearances for the main squad after the league was essentially wrapped up.

A month ago he was expected to leave Barcelona. Then he turned it on, leading the Spanish U-21s to the European Championship and continuing his brilliance into the pre-season:







Honestly, I think Barcelona are starting to second guess making a move for Cesc. Thiago is THAT GOOD. Get in on the ground floor now guys, because this kid has no where to go, but up.

He did it again

Mazinho's son. Don't like seeing a son of a Seleção member and Italian born playing for the Spanish national team. I'll be an anti-fan.

He's a talent but I do think that goal against United had a hint of luck with the way the ball bobbled up perfectly.

Great strike none the less and I really hope he can get some major minutes this year, although I find that doubtful.

I mean... he took a touch to control, it's not like the ball hit a rock and bounced up. He'll play a lot of La Liga games if Cesc stays in London. If Cesc comes home then he's SOL.

There doesn't have to be a rock on the pitch to bobble, c'mon bro, you gotta admit that ball bobbled up perfectly, that's why the ball caught such a swerve.

I'd like to see him go out on loan if Cesc does come on. Although Barca much prefer to sell players and then decide in 5 years to pay triple the figure to get them back.
