This is what I keep saying, and Thiago is why I don't want Fabregas to move to Barca.

Didn't realise he made that many though.

Stop obsessing. There is apparently loads of him in the Barcas academy.
If you believe what Guardiola says anyway seeing as Wilshere is a better player then the Tiago kid.

Disagree. I said a few weeks ago that Thiago is the more talented of the two but Wilshere just gets more chances to show his talent. Thiago is fucking insane, potential is sky high.

You can only judge a player when they play for the first team. So at this point in time Wilshere is better than Thiago.

Why? Thiago has played a number of times this season in cups etc, the talent is evident.

Lots of players have talent. I said Wilshere was a better player, which he is at this point in time.

How though? It's very debatable, I'd say Wilshere is better defensively right now but Thiago is much better going forward.

Part Spanish, part Italian, part Brazilian. Not a bad mix

James, do you even watch Barca?
Guest- Guest
Wilshere is more of a box to box midfielder though, in the mould of Veira just white and not as tall.
I'd also argue Wilshere is a better dribbler of the ball than Thiago from what I saw last night.

I watched last nights game, but like Jamie said... Thiago hasn't played that much.

No, I think the retardness of the statement has already sunk in.
Wilshere a better dribber than Thiago

Can we all just agree that Shelvey is a better all-round player than the both of them?

Also, put Wilshere in Barcelonas team and would he not get similar stats to that? It really can't be that hard when your team hogs the ball all game. Arsenal play much faster than Barca and are a little more riskier in their passes.

I doubt Wilshere would be trusted with the passing responsibility Thiago was last night. He played Xavi's role, Wilshere couldn't do that.

I hate it when people put shit like that.
If you are gonna compare a player at least put an argument forward otherwise it is spamming.

I wont disagree with that. But i'm pretty sure Wilshere would get similar passing stats. Certainly percentage wise.

123 passes with a 90% passing percentage, I doubt it tbh.
It's not like Thiago played short ball after short ball either, he was pinging cross field passes all night.

Wilshere is a decent short passer, but when I see him he doesn't seem to play pinpoint balls.
