Sure sure, keep trying to patch it up.
Everyone called Thiago the new Xavi and you know it. Stop acting as if this isnt a blow.
It isnt, There is literally 3-4 mids coming up, now if you were to tell me Dongou has left, then yes I'd be worried since Barca produces a forward once every 10 years.
I wouldnt have Thiago go, but the fact of the matter is he was going to be bench for the next 2-3 years, when Xavi goes, Cesc takes his place, when Iniesta goes Thiago takes his (that was the plan). Can't blame him for going.
But the team has Samper, Espinoza, Canos, etc.
