Thiago Alcantara Player Thread (M)

Here's hoping mate that would be brilliant.

Happy as when I read them but then dread when I realised they might not be true not getting hopes up but as you say would be massive bonus

That's from 2 weeks ago we already know now the injury is worse than initially expected and Thiago won't be back until the new year.

Yeah, but I'd not seen it before and didn't know about the bruised bone theory, or the scans not being able to pick up more subtle injuries. Since the club have said nothing I found it helpful.

At least he'll be available in spring when games become more and more important. Only VVD is done for us, it doesn't look too bad on the injury front. The real trouble is when u have guys out for 6 months and more.

Yes fair point from you but would have just loved to see him perform so well early on in his first season

The club have a habit of positive spin on injuries rather than the actual facts.

Back training outside today as I said expect him back before NY probably play Villa game in FA Cup

Looks like the positive spin is true this time.

From the pictures i saw he's training alone, which means no contact.

Hence why I said NY return Southampton possibly if not will be Villa

His return alongside hopefully a new centre half capable of contributing from the off is gonna put us in a fantastic position.

Hurry up Thiago

Thiago really will be like a new signing in Jan.

Apparently Thiago is fit and in contention for this weekend.

Don’t play with my heart man..

It’s the hope that kills you.

Mental how little we have seen of him. Aquilani 2.0

Allegedly.

But with Thiago it's just been one gigantic horror tackle in his 2nd game.

Exactly when he misses the games Lovren , Shaq, Matip , lallana and Keita then people can doubt injury record not through one challenge that nearly took his knee off

We should be grateful we'll see him next month, he was very lucky that tackle didn't end his season.

20 times the player Aquilani was.....and back very, very soon.

How can anyone not love this guy......

Too damn right.

We all saw how terrible the tackle was inflicted up in him. And we all know that we bought arguably the best midfielder in Europe.

Aquilani 2.0? Bizarre.

Maybe on the bench v WBA?
