Thiago Alcantara (CM) Bayern Munich

What’s AOC’s prognosis of a return from injury? If it looks like January that he could be match fit at the earliest we just won’t register him. Gives us a few extra months. Trying to find out what the new deadline for registering PL squads is, anyone know?

I doubt we’ll see much movement out other than those that were loaned out last season. The schedule this season really is hectic, having a bigger squad than normal will be necessary to compete on multiple fronts. Still think the likes of Ox, Milner and Shaq could potentially be getting a decent amount of game time despite being well down the pecking order.

That is pretty much exactly what I said on TIA and posted above. He’ll be hearing from my lawyer, the cunt. (borrowed that line from @PeachesEnRegalia just to avoid any copyrights myself)

Heads you win tails I lose?

So this might finally be happening - and the thread isn’t even over 1 page - not really a saga.

Confirmed.

He is on his way to Liverpool.

I’ve heard rumours from my mole at Melwood that Klopp has pushed really hard for this signing because “They are Bayern, for sure, and I really want to mug those pricks for what they did to me at Dortmund every year HA HA HA HA HA HA BOOM!!!”

By the way, when I say mole, I mean an actual mole - running round Melwood digging up the grass and getting on everyone’s tits. They’ve put poison down, but he’s a tenacious little sod.

I’ve heard he’s keen to call himself Jonesy.

The most hilarious part about all this is that this is happening behind the Bale thing with spurs, Edwards trying to stealth his way into getting this deal done with the media’s attention divided.

I also predicted the Thiago signing. To be fair, I think pretty much every one else did too.

Would it not be in line with the transfer windows?

I can’t wait to see Hendo shuffle lift the Thiago trophy :trophy:

Still long enough for us and Twitter to get into a right tizz over it. :laughing:

I’m really glad this is happening. I think he makes an enormous change to our midfield and opens a world of options for us.

I honestly think this is the kind of signing that makes City nervous. Let the tears begin. On that basis alone it’s worth £30m.

Normally it’s within a couple of days of the transfer window closing but these aren’t normal times and I haven’t seen any confirmation as to when PL clubs need to register their squads by. CL will have its own deadline too, of course. I haven’t seen squads confirmed for either competition yet.
