Last season MUFC enquired about the availability of Thiago and Barca said £19mil which wasn't a problem but they also wanted a buy back clause included in the contract and after that talks collapsed.

How do you exactly know that we enquired the availability of Thiago last year?

There were also reports saying We have signed Sneijder. Did we actually sign Sneijder? . These are rumors. Only 40% out of 100 are true. And the rest are clueless.

leeman:

From what i have seen he is one of the most talented players in the world, plays in a strong league and does well for himself. If he comes to us or not then i can only see him turning out to be a top player.

i do not know ,uch about him par from we were after him last year and barca wanted 2 be able to buy him back if they wanted too and that he scored against us in usa but i dont not agree wiv ur stateemnt that the spanish league is strong it is usualy the same suspects in the sane places every year and there is only 2 clubs who are 1st adn 2nd

This guy exudes flair when he touches, passes and takes a shot. He doesn't need to do a zillion step overs but his little touches and his quick feet is enough to trick the position. We may have missed out on Hazard but this guy is the real deal. I would not mind us paying 35M-40M for this guy because he'll undoubtedly be a star whichever club he plays for. He played us in a friendly what he's capable off. It may be very difficult to convince Barcelona to let him go but 35-40M may just make them think. He's only 21 and he's already excelled in a team like Barcelona and more importantly, he's very far from being the finished product.

What do you all think of him? Views and opinions!

He has a 90million release clause. If Barca considers selling him for a much lesser amount then we should move for him.

LET'S SIGN THIAGO ALCANTARA Let's sign Thiago Alcantara from Barcelona, He is the one who we need the most! Please Fergie, sign him, try everything in order to sign Thiago Alcantara (Barcelona) and let's sign Seydou Keita from Barcelona also, especially right now due to his contract has been expired! so we can sign him for free and that is why we may offer him a greater amount! Thiago Alcantara and Seydou Keita the players who We need THE MOST! Gerard Pique would be an awesome sign and return to Manchester United! along side with Jordi Alba (Valencia) these four (4) players who we need and we are done with the transfers... especially THIAGO ALCANTARA!

*Laugh Out Loud* That is just a ridiculous wish list my friend. I'm looking at those 4 and I'm also looking for over 70-80mil (£), So there is no point of you pleading SAF to get those 4. Because we will not be spending over that amount.

barca would just want to buy him back just like pique and fabregas and to me that isnt fair on the clubs who make them good players. he would be very good signing but i just cant see it

I feel he can be our new Paul Scholes.It depends mainly on the player imo;If he's ready to leave Barca and become a legend at a club like Man Utd.

If Fergie offers him regular play,i think it would be a good chance for him to show what he's really capable of.

I think by getting Fabregas,Barca has shown that they don't really think high of him and see him as a replacement for Xavi in the future.

Last season MUFC enquired about the availability of Thiago and Barca said £19mil which wasn't a problem but they also wanted a buy back clause included in the contract and after that talks collapsed. That was last season though so things may have changed, we may attempt to strike a deal again. He'd be a great addition, young and very skillful, almost like a young Luka Modric. I can see him becoming world class.

I would be happy to get him here but everyone would have to be ready for the buy back clause in 3/4 years and we would lose him just as he's getting to his prime

correct last year the only reason it feel through was that barca wanted a buy back, however this year they have offered him to AC for part of the Silva deal that never got off the ground he is now unhappy and would listen to offers,hence forcing the hand of barca. i have seen alot of worse name on this site lets be honest there are some rite numpties out there

If it's true that Barcelona offered him to Milan,i think it will be less difficult to sign him.Instead of paying a large sum of money for someone like Modric,we can go for Alcantara.Thiago Alcantara has the ability to become better than Modric and he's much younger.

Great player, but not a chance of leaving Barca. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3277/la-liga/2011/06/29/2553116/thiago-alcantara-signs-new-barcelona-deal-until-2015

He's great, serious potential, IF united were ever to sign him, i think a few sessions in the gym would be in order though, but we dont need him, right now we need a strong tackling box to box possession holding midfielder like Dembele
