Thiago Alcantara (CM) Bayern Munich

Don’t think I’ve been this gassed about a signing since VVD/Ali, and maybe I’m even more excited because we’re not building towards the title, we’re strengthening from the top of the mountain. As a general rule — and as I’m sure we’re all aware — Klopp has a pretty good eye for players: he doesn’t buy someone unless he thinks they can play a role in the system that doesn’t already exist (or a player who is an improvement on the place in the system). And given how much the ex-MU punditry camp (and the MU fans on Twitter) seem to rate him, even better.

Throwback to when Thiago passed the ball to Santa.

Fuck me. I didn’t even know this had happened and only found out through the ‘Ole at the wheel’. Thread of all places.

Just as well or I’d never have done any work today.

I didn’t realise his English was that fluent when you think Bobby has been with us a while and still can’t communicate in English but Alisson’s English is pretty sound as well

I think that’s more to do with his intelligence than his linguistic skills. If you think about someone like Andy Cole who is English, and still can’t communicate in comprehensible English, he’s not that impressive.

Definitely intelligence.

Xabi Alonso speaks better German after his two years at Bayern than Ribéry after living here for 10 years.

The more the day has gone on the more I am BUZZING about this signing! I wish the club would hurry up and announce it.

As it looks they´ll let us wait until tomorrow…

Actually I think that football talkshows should have a format like Jerry Springer where you have studio guests who booed at the people on stage and the people on stage says what what what! And then start fighting.

However, the article stated: “Not only are Thiago’s controlling skills amongst the best in the world, they are also precisely what the Pool Boys have most lacked. If the Reds have had a flaw during these past two seasons of greatness, it has been the way they struggle to break down opponents who hunker down in their own penalty areas and deny Liverpool the space on the wings and in behind that the team usually feasts on

Really? I thought we still managed to get enough wins to run away with the title though. Am I missing something? Neverthless, Thiago will give us an extra dimension.

So, if anybody’s actually watched this guy at length, is he Phil Cou and Gerrard’s unlikely love child?

Awesome he’s joined us. Looking forward to the lean! Top signing!! :+1:t2:
I am somewhat worried about his injury record and EPL is more physical than Bundesliga. Hope JK and the physio team know how to handle him. Glad we got depth in our midfield ranks as I don’t expect him to play every league and CL game… and would welcome he gets some rest from time to time
