I actually think both, we've been linked with Strootman for absolutely ages, he wont cost that much and it's all gone pretty quiet since rumors began the year before last. Would be ecstatic if we ended up with both. How would we play though? What would happen to Clevz? |

Cleverley will still get games if we sign 2 new midfielders, it's a squad game these days, with a couple of exceptions no one plays week in week out anymore.
We've got 5 international centre backs, yet they still all get decent game time.

Emphasis on the latter, we can't hold sentiment when we lack quality across the board in central midfield. |

From skysports:
Transfer news: Barcelona midfielder Thiago plays down Manchester United link
Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara has refused to be drawn on rumours that Manchester United are considering a summer move for his services.
The Red Devils have been linked with a swoop for the 22-year-old, but he has insisted that he will not consider his future until after the upcoming Under-21 European Championship.
"I just live my life and I am very happy," the Spain international told reporters.
"I enjoy it in Barcelona because I have lived through some great times but we will see what happens after the Euros.
"Any player is used to living with rumours about him and they just cannot affect you."
Thiago's buy-out clause at Camp Nou is understood to have dropped from €90million to €18million after he failed to play 30 minutes or more in 60 per cent of Barca's games this season.
United's interest prompted goalkeeper David de Gea to state that he would like his Spain Under-21 team-mate to join him at Old Trafford, but Thiago brushed off the comments.
"All players want the best players in their team. I could say I hope that he comes to Barca in the same way he says things about me," he added.
"I just think he was having a bit of fun and not too much should be read into it."

From Guillem Balague
Thiago and Manchester United
Thiago is considering his future. The fact that he has not played 60 per cent of games this season (30 minutes of a match is, in his contract, considered a game, but he has only got to 47% of games played this season) means that his buy out clause will be 18 million euros… till the 1st of August. So the Barcelona midfielder would like his future sorted soon one way or another.
There is more than one club interested in him. United (and others) are definitely thinking of activating that clause but they have to be convinced the player will accept leaving Barcelona. And that is easier than they probably think.
Thiago is a very ambitious young man, who has already declared in the past that it will be no problem leaving Barcelona and continuing his career somewhere else. His dad and agent, the former Brazilian international Mazinho, has put in his head that sometimes it is better to be the leader in a smaller club or to go abroad to reach your targets (be a regular with the national side, for instance). Mazinho, who used to play for Celta when he became a regular with Brazil, would not mind Thiago going abroad at a top club to be able to play in the 2014 Brazil world cup (even though Thiago would play with Spain) and also to play regularly, something he is not getting at Barcelona. He is seen in the Catalan club as a replacement for Xavi but his preferred position is closer to goal, more like an Iniesta then.
So the club that decides to activate the clause has a very good chance of convincing the player too. Barcelona will try to keep him of course, but with such a cheap buy out clause, it is all down to the footballer who will have to be convinced he will be a more important part of the Barcelona team next season to stay at the Camp Nou.
Notice, I AM NOT SAYING HE IS GOING TO UNITED, but that there are clubs willing to pay his buy out clause and the player considering his options. That is the stage we are in at the moment

De Gea needs to get a United shirt on him after one of the internationals. See how those cunts like it.
On the Fabregas talk, if indeed it true about Thiago release clause (and no ones denied it), then Barca really aren't going to let Fabregas go.

I like the cut of your jib. |

Can't see us signing both, I think it'll be one or the other and I'm hoping it's Cesc. Can see Thiago signing a new contract and that hopefully opening the door for Cesc to move.
