So all media including Catalan are calling it one way, one the other. Yet the one is right?
oh dear
I'm so tired of this now, get it over with already!
Saying that a player is about to sign for United generates a lot more interest than saying he isn't. United are linked between dozens of players every year. So being cynical about such stories is logical. Believing the likes of the Daily Star just because you want them to be right is a kids game. Maybe he'll sign for United, maybe he'll get that big new contract. We'll see. But just because there are more gossip stories saying the deal will happen does not make it true. Just that United sell papers.
I'm afraid this is nothing yet to the transfer threads of years past. Are the newbies as obsessed as we are?
If you think it's just "the likes of the Daily Star" then you haven't been paying attention. To all 50+ pages.
Do we care? I'll let The Great Neviller answer this one. Nev, get in here and answer the question.
Express saying the 17 mil release clause as been triggered.

Weakling. It's only perseverance that sets the muppet kings apart from the mere mortals.
oh dear
Why does it matter? What possible indication is there that he is considering going there?
Great story lol, 2 lines, no quotes
See now I think that one's bollocks.
That's a thoroughly informative article.
I've no idea, I don't have newbie access.
So, what's the mood like today in Muppetland? Are we in a peak or a trough?
There's actually 4 lines. 2 lines saying we've triggered the release clause, and the other 2 lines saying we've agreed terms with Thiago.
Now where's that fecking Thiagometer.
Like Donkey Kong then.
Yeah I meant as in, do we care, answer that question.
The feckers doesn't even have a 'more to follow' there. And they get paid for this shit.
I'm sold. The article was far too long though, I go bored half way through. Can someone who read it all give me an overview? Cheers.
Unfortunately, I know. There has been too many!
I'm getting old! I will try to persevere though..
All the papers are the same. Why are the Daily Mail or whatever gospel in your eyes? Just lazy journos regurgitating a story again and again, feeding off the easy clicks from muppets desperate to believe their latest crush is signing. If the Daily Mail runs a "Player X to sign for United" story then of course other papers will copy it. Its so easy. But just because they copy it does not make it any truer.
Try not. Do or do not!! There is no try! (At least in muppet land there isn't.)
That article says we've met the clause and agreed personal terms, and now barca have realised they may lose him
Thiagometer needs to be put in the centre
Do you work as a journalist? I'm curious as to how you know how journalism works.
I am not but I have a few colleagues who do and while I understand your skepticism, it's annoying that you have closed your mind to other possibilities. They would find your words very very insulting.
This. And the English press are saying that he's keen on staying as it'll fit in their agenda of our club being in decline since Sir Alex retired. They'll probably run the headlines that our club has lost its allure to foreign players as they've no idea who Moyes is and would rather join other clubs in Europe.
Couldn't be bothered to read all of that, summary?
Even if barca are resigned to losing thiago, they will want to seem they re desperately trying to hang on to him. Whoever is their sporting director knows he LL get lot of stick if they lose thiago (assuming thiago is leaving)
If it's true Thiago's camp is willing to listen to all offers then it opens the door to us losing Thiago to chelsea however unlikely that looks. I put the smiley because it's going to further delay the process
What gives it weight is the Catalan press for me. It must be very boring not being able to read anything not from manutd.com.
I think most of us are a bit tired at the moment. We put so much into this thread over the past week that I think we're emotionally, as well as literally, drained. Our cocks have been on show more than in a chicken contest.
Take the weekend off lads. Rejuvenate your batteries. People are right. Nothing is going to happen this weekend. Just get ready for Monday and let it start all over again.

I don't think he'll join us, and I don't think we particularly need him.
Surprised some people don't think we are interested. Blatantly obvious that we are.
Just send in Bolingbroke. He'll get it done.
He acts like he already made up his mind and United and the player are now waiting for Barca to give a green light to trigger medical tests.
Thiago's father, friends, journalists (also on twitter) are all aware of his desire to play for United to get a full season and it's showing in almost every news. The whole case seems to be very logical from player's perspective but everything must be done in a healthy atmosphere and that's why it requires some time.
There's nothing to worry about, though as United is are very experienced side in terms of longer negotiations.
