Reports this weekend linking Thiago with a move back to Barcelona.

Would like to see this guy stay injury free for a while and see what he can do for us before we give up on him.

Yep, better if he stays but if we can get a good fee to re-invest, also ok as he misses too many games

If we get a good deal go for it. He’s clearly got talent but at end of career and not really contributing much for us

At first I thought he was completely in step with our game. His passing was so accurate. Now I see him giving the ball away and being too slow and very predictable to defend against.

I agree with Stanley. I would get rid in a heartbeat to anyone offering over £20m. I just don't see him being a matchwinner for us. He certainly has not delivered what we brought him in for.

Add in his age and injury record with us and I think if Barcelona come knocking with £20m we will sell. Probably looking to sign Bellingham in the summer but we could get Ramsay in on loan to plug a gap in the squad in the meantime.

I can't sell Klopp letting him go, he seemed very keen to bring him him.

I would like to see him have a good run in the team, he has been unlucky with injuries/Covid, plus the team has had bad injuries runs since he's joined during Covid, so he has not had many regular partners in MF, which with his style of play would be critical to him on movement/positioning/passing.

I cannot see Barca being able to offer a decent fee for him anyways, his wages would also be high for them, they struggled in the summer to register players due to wages, which is why Messi had to go eventually.

Our boy coming good now. Looks the real deal.

First choice midfield Thiago, Fabhino and Henderson?

I'm still not convinced about his defensive ability, he caused problems as soon as he came on vs westham and vs Southampton he also passed the ball backwards to their striker but Alisson saved us. When we are controlling the game and winning he's great to have to dictate the middle of the park but when we are under pressure from the opposing team he isn't as reliable as say Fabinho or Henderson or Milner so I'd still be careful on when to play him especially with his injury record. Personally I would not start him in the derby because we need a more solid base in midfield so I'd start with Milner instead.

No I would start him in the derby with Fab and Henderson. Those 3 probably strongest line up we have at present when all fit and on song. I am really hoping this Everton team chuck another really bad performance in tomorrow night. When they are bad they are as bad as Newcastle on an off day.

I think he needs to play in front of both Fabinho and Hendo, he is not good defensively in the EPL but the best in small spaces of tight defences, he should play in the number 10 position just behind our attackers
