http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...nited-s-deal-for-Thiago-Alcantara-last-summer Famous quote from Guardiola "Thiago is the only player I want, that's what I told them. It'll be him or no one." If anyone watches the Bundesliga, they would have noticed that Bayern Munich's slump/ collapse came about after Thiago suffered a potential season ending injury a week before they played against utd and that injury has flared up again thereby keeping him out of the world cup. This is the only player Guardiola wanted to sign for Bayern and he played in almost every game he was available for while the likes of Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Muller and Gotze were rotated and played in different positions and Thiago was the player that controlled the tempo of the game for Bayern all Season long as they blew away all opposition before his injury came about. He was clearly their most influential midfielder on the pitch. If it is true that Giggs vetoed this signing then I question everything he knows about football management and he will have a lot to learn under Van Gaal. Thiago is a player that would have easily been utd's best midfielder last season as he is miles better than any they have at the club and by that reckoning Giggs should not be allowed to help recommend any new signings, he should only be in the welcoming committee after a player has already signed
Everyone makes mistakes. Even pretty big ones at times. Even if he didn't want Thiago - that's one bad transfer decision. Even Fergie got the wrong man at times.
As if Giggs had a say in anything of relevance...was in charge of 4 games...just 4....people who invest millions in a football club don't get involved with sentiment like the fans....and he would not be given such a privelage whilst being given the reign for 4 games...
In other news Zora Suleman ‏@ZoraSuleman 1m Ex Man United manager David Moyes is being investigated by Lancashire police over an allegation of assault following an incident in wine bar
According to journalist Ian McGarry, Moyes asked for an explanation and was told: "Playing for this club is more than being a footballer. It's about your attitude, it's about your mindset, it's about everything that you want. Everything in your body, every cell, has to want to live play and win for Manchester United. I don't think he's a Manchester United player." He got the last bit right anyway
He's looking a bit rough lately bless him.... please log in to view this image Time for Celtic Davie....
Dreaming if you think a player like Thiago would sign for an idiot like Moyes and United over Pep and Bayern
