33% Italian, 33% Brazilian, 33% Spanish and rest 1% I don't know
That must be where his Catalan DNA resides, which Barca will inevitably claim he has 4 years down the line once they realise their monumental **** up and do another Fabregas.

The Brazilianness is in the name!
At least you know how Arsenal fans felt then. Except you'll still be winning stuff. So nothing like Arsenal fans, I guess.
Its almost like I was talking about his national team affiliation.

Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmerihttps://twitter.com/tancredipalmeri/status/354918608251527169 PSV confirmed that only few details missing for Strootman at Roma. Price around 16m €
Sorry Michael.
Sorry Michael.
Much as I like to see Mike cry, Palmeri's a loudmouth and often wrong. Wouldn't take it for gospel.

Yeah tell me about it. United should move quickly though, if they want him that is.

How can he be a third of a nationality if he has four grandparents? I'm confused

He's 1/3 brazilian because both his parents are, 1/3 italian because that's where he was born, and 1/3 spanish because he plays for them after residing in the country for some time.

2 have same Nationality?
Wouldn't that make him more than a third of that nationality though?
We didn't even bid for Strootman. Wasn't any contact for a month, and Strootman himself said it wasn't a very top side interested in him. We're in a straight up fight for Thiago.
Pep 1 Moyes 0! Thiago set to snub Man United to join former boss at Bayern Munich
It seems like he never wanted to join us...
Article doesn't allude to that at all. More to the point, a player agreement was reached in principle.
See I knew I was right... we're absolutely hopeless at signing midfielders. If we don't sign a class CM this summer consider ourselves out of the title race before it has began. Last season we got lucky as opponents were not that great and I can't see it happening this time with better managers and better squads ultimately.
Edit: I may be exaggerating but it so annoys me how we always miss out on the midfielders. Thiago would of been great for us...

One he hasn't even moved/agreed. Two we played better last year that the season before. Three, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
You are exaggerating, so what is the crux of your point?

The thing I don't get is if he is interested in playing time then why would he even consider Bayern, their midfield is phenominal whereas we can guarantee regular playing time.
I don't see the sense, and talking to another Bayern fan, he doesnt see the sense.
That said, Thiago has the potential to be as good/better than Xavi/Scholes.
As for midfielders in general, only panic if the window closes and its still the same. I agree, we dont want to go into next season with the same mid, but its far from over in terms of business.
that's right mate...
Martinez, Gustavo, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Gotze, Muller, Shaqiri VS Carrick, Anderson, Cleverly, Fletcher...
