Thiago Alcantara

[frank the tank]

What I love about Phillips and Williams is there sense of belonging in the team, not starstruck or any sense of imposter syndrome but right in the thick of it. Salahs late old trafford goal Williams with the knee slide to join Mo and Curtis. Jones in the thick of it after Alis goal.

A lot to be said of that attitude, compared to poor Andy Lonergan who was waiting for Jeremy Beadle to pop out at any moment to put him out of his misery, despite the fact he's been dead for 13 years.

that surely comes down to the team dynamic that Jurgie has instilled.....

Classic little bloke move. Get a big mate to hang around with so nobody effs with you.

Taking a page from the Salah/Lovern playbook.

‘Pure footballer’

‘Pure footballer’

I think it means he is still a virgin

[Buzzo]

He's the best pure footballer in the league. Only De Bruyne is in that argument. Can't wait to see him next season. Fabinho next to him is an absolute must.

What does that mean?

‘Pure footballer’. D- I expect better. Provide research and references in future. Avoid using generic terms and colloquialism. See me after class.

Its like getting your work marked by a teacher.

It’s a genuine, and I think fair, question. I can’t think anyone would make a claim for him being the best player in the league, so presumably it means something (subtly?) different.

[Buzzo]

I reckon it means, pure football skills rather than physical ability allied to football skills. Thiago has almost zero physical attributes (other than persistant fouling), therefor he is a pure footballer?

Nature over nurture innit.

He has that vole small person syndrome when it comes to tackling. Pure footballer

Can't say I'm any the wiser tbh.

But we badly need Hendo back.
