If selling AMN effectively funds a move for Thiago Alcantara I'll die laughing. Zero belief it'll happen, but it would be stunning business.

A midfield with Partey and Thiago in it would be the envy of the league.

Claudius

Damn. I hate that I’m excited by this rumour. It’s like falling for a big butt and a smile.

Beller - Saliba - Gabriel - Tierney
-------------Partey----------------
------Ceballos----Thiago-----------
--Pepe---------------------Willian--
--------------Aubameyang-------------

Gabril - 25m
Partey - 50m
Ceballos - 5m loan

AMN - 20m
Douzi- 20m
Torreira - 10m
Sokratis - 5m
El Neny / Holding / Mustafi - 5m

30m to break even, would just need to move Laca and we'd break even

I can only think thiago is being considered because ceballos is in doubt

That team would compete for top 4.

That said, hard to see why Thiago would want to come here. London aside we don't have too much going for us at the moment. Additionally, if he waits a season he will probably win the CL again with Munich in 20/21 and then be able to leave on a free to pretty much any club of his choosing, nabbing himself a big sign-on bonus in the process. It makes no sense for him to move to a Europa League team at this stage for less money than he will be able to get in 12 months.

Are we getting Thiago for free in your scenario?

I wonder if we can sell Lacazette and get Suarez on a 2 year deal as replacement? Since Barca will terminate his contract and he will be a free agent

Claudius

Suarez is finished. He turns in a wonder game once a month. You’re better off with Lacazette who looked better after the Covid rest gave him time to recuperate. Would rather sell Laca and buy kids if we can’t afford a striker this summer.

No way. Man is busted, as is rakitic

I'm no huge fan of Alcantara but I don't see any reason he'd be sold?

He's in his last 12 months under contract at Bayern = sell whilst they can still get some value for him.

Well the day anyone calls Ramsey one of the defining players of his generation you're allowed to ask Pepe to ban them.

It's probably a less outrageous claim than saying the same thing about Thiago, mind, who has been picked for the Bundesliga team of the season a whooping 1 times in 7 years and has never been even close to the UEFA team of the season, nor any player of the year awards.

Sorry Klaus but you're off on this one. Bundesliga TOTS is mostly either a popularity contest or a chance to shove young talents into the spotlight so I'm not surprised he didn't make it that often but he's generally regarded as the best midfielder in the league by any serious pundit or anybody who follows the league really. Which becomes an even bigger feat when you consider the massive hard on this country has for domestic players, Thiago whenever fit has been streets ahead from 2013 up until this season.

Mirth

Jones talking up a Bayern player - never thought I'd see the day.

Claudius

I’m surprised at the lack of respect for Thiago. The guy is just butter. Plays that deep-lying playmaker role as well as anyone. He can control any kind of pass, and his distribution forward is superb. Sharp, fast balls to feet. We want passes out from defense to attacking midfield, this is one of the most effective players in Europe to do that. Watch him and you’ll see all the things that are missing with Xhaka.

Kel Varnsen

Thiago is brilliant. Top ten midfielders when he's not struggling with injuries.

I dont really consider him a Bayern player tbf even if he does have some dickhead tendencies. Not a patch on the Aryan brotherhood members in the team of course.

I was hopeful we'd land him when he was linked last year. Who's this Moreau bloke?

Yeah it's only his injury record that is worrying but no doubt talent wise. Can't believe people are using apps and craps to belittle him. One of the best of his generation.

But if you're asking me of course Aouar would be preferred even if he's not the finished article purely because of resale value. Even Coutinho might be preferred for me because we really need someone who's fit. Can't afford any expensive injuries

lorddulaarsenal

I think if we did sign Thiago we’d all probably start feeling twinges and tingles in places we didn’t think could twinge or tingle
