Thiago is a wonderful player, when available and fit. He's not that young anymore, and he shouldn't be our marquee signing in midfield. We've ignored/neglected that area of the pitch far too long (hand me downs, quick fixes and medicore freebies ) that at least two quality signings in that department are required.
Thiago as the main acquisition for midfield = underwhelming.
Thiago as a complement = solid.
The same principle applies to Allan from Napoli.
Have a nice day

we have history man, wtf
but then people want Pogba (also a great signing), who is having much more injury problems currently than Thiago. He hasn't been too injury prone since 6+ years ago. Would be a great signing.
Games missed due to injury for some intersting midfielders

Pogba has been there for 4 years, 4 years of failure for him and for his club
He already wanted to leave last year, they have retained him, do they want to keep an another year a disgruntled player who will be disruptive for his team ?
He only had one year of contract (+1 year optional apparently), they are not in a position of strength to negotiate.
Tici puts his balls on the table for once, we're generous it's 50 + Ramsey or 80 million max. If they're not happy that they're dealing with Pogba's problem or looking for a silly club to pay $120 million.
