Thiago wasn't/isn't really all that tbh (my opinion), like many of these so called youth wonder players.. Have u ever thought of the fact that samper might not be the player we really think he is? Yeah, its all pretty and nice when a player shows a glimse of promise on a 15 minute cameo, or when he beasts for the 'b' team but as soon as he starts playing regularly, he flaws gets exposed and even more magnified. As soon as u give them game time they start running like headless chickens, Its just all too familiar (with every club). Anyway, all i'm saying is that there be a reason the coach might not genuinely want to play him (as we'd like), or why the board isnt putting pressure to play him, or why some other major clubs havent poached him yet. I might be wrong tho, and i really do hope so.

No player ever does anything only playing in training. This is just obvious.

The "maybe he isnt good" argument totally falls down when we see Rafinha playing, we see Munir playing, we see Sandro playing, we see various other players playing. We have seen these guys all on the same pitch together, so trying to sell us Samper is simply inferior is a difficult one.
