Re: Summer Transfer Rumour Thread

Mazinho, thiago's father and agent:

“Thiago rendiría más en cualquier otro equipo. No descarto que cambie de aires. El fútbol da muchas vueltas”, dijo el ex jugador del Celta de Vigo. Además, el brasileño añadió que “no entendería que el Barça fichara otro centrocampista este verano, el centro está congestionado”.

"Thiago would play more in any other team. I dont rule out a change of scenery. Football can take unexpected turns. It wouldnt make sense that barcelona sign another midfielder, the midfield is congested.''

that sweet coffee :coffee:

Liverpool would be stupid to pay that much for him.

Isn't it his first injury (knee) ? or is he always injury-prone ??

ps.Gil, Agger hasn't been injured in 2 years now :coffee:

by RealGunner Wed May 15, 2013 5:05 pm

He is a monster CB. Would love him at Arsenal

Well, Papa had a ruptured ankle ligament in February 2011 and the current knee problem has him out since November 2012. So that knee injury is a bit more niggling and serious (he had to have surgery and is in rehab now).

AFAIK he has a release clause of 22 mio Euros, so I doubt that Schalke will let him go for 17 mio Euros.

The lad with the glass ankles? Good news for the PL considering you already have another perma-crocked CB at the club.

Same guy that played 35 PL matches this season. Your stuck in the past mate, just shows you haven't watched us this season.

17m is way too much, let alone 22m. Although I would like him at the club. He's a warrior. The type we need at the moment.

Mangala is a beast hope he stays at Porto and forms an iron wall with Reyes Proud

Well, Schalke need him too, especially if they qualify for the CL again (they just need to win the next match against Freiburg, then they are set).

by DeletedUser#1 Wed May 15, 2013 5:13 pm

thing is...if he is fit, he can play DM too. He really fits the criteria of back up DM and a physical good in the air CB we need, plus he is young and can improve even more.

Injuries though, are a concern. but Coutinho and Sturridge were also injury-prone before we bought them, our new medical staff are doing wonders with injuries (agger, and gerrard fit all season, coutinho n sturridge no real injuries) banana

by McAgger Wed May 15, 2013 5:18 pm

Not really concerned about his injuries. Just I feel like for 17m we could do better. Alderweireled is another brilliant option who seems to be in love with LFC and would be cheaper.

by urbaNRoots Wed May 15, 2013 5:22 pm

Schalke should cash in, Matip and Höwedes are both better than Papa - plus Santana is coming as 3rd choice.

can't play DM though :coffee:

I feel like we need a dirty beast like Papa/Wanyama/etc in order to win games against thugs like Everton and Stoke. A bullying, beastly CB, as opposed to another nice ball playing type we already have in Agger.

Dunno. Joel Matip was rather disappointing in the last matches. I'd prefer to keep Papa.

Well Skrtel is that sort of CB, only it's not working well for him, is it?? Rodgers seems to be in love with CBs with Agger-esque qualities but we'll see,. I personally prefer Alderweireled or Howedes over anyone else in our price range.

http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/379752/fernandez-falcao-a-monaco-c-est-pratiquement-fait/

Luis Fernandez, great former player and very well respected current journalist, say that the announcement of Falcao will be made after the CDR for Monaco. He also hinted that Valdes and Alves from Barca will also be announced in the coming week.

Only one i'm not excited about is Valdes. But there's worse. I'm sure he didn't cost much.

by Doc Wed May 15, 2013 5:58 pm

Whatever it be true or not, Barcelona is gonna have to choose between Fab or Thiago. This rotation thing wouldn't cut it for either player. And truthfully speaking, Fab is the more experienced (and some would say, better) footballer and cost 40 million euros. Tito would most likely favour Fab than young Thiago.

by Adit Wed May 15, 2013 5:59 pm

Great signing for Liverpool if true.

Papa Proud

Galliani loves Thiago Proud

He wanted to sign him back in 2011, but Barca didn't want to sell.

Nope. 1. This rumors are to promote Neymar comics in Germany, 2. this is the rumour section, 3. the info is from some Brazil guy who claims to be in the know, 4. Bayern already strongly denied any truth in the claim, 5. these look more like statements put out to raise Neymar's price in general.

fixed.
