Thiago Alcântara do Nascimento is heir to a footballing lineage of note. His father, Lomar do Nascimento, better known as Mazinho, was a defensive midfielder in the 80s and 90s. Mazinho's career took him to 10 clubs, but he was hardly a journeyman. He was capped by Brazil's national team 22 times, including appearing throughout the canarinha's 1994 World Cup-winning run. Thiago was born in Bari, Italy in 1991 (really? I'm writing 1991 as the birth year of a professional footballer? Oh god I'm old) and began his footballing career at the age of 4 in the Flamego's youth ranks, meaning he really hasn't ever known anything other than the soccer field.

He joined Barcelona's youth ranks in 2005, 4 years after his father had retired from professional play, and has steadily risen through the ranks. His debut for the first team on May 17, 2009 and his first goal the 4th of a 4-0 rout of Racing Santander on February 20, 2010. He's made 6 appearances this year--3 in the league, 2 in the Copa, 1 in the Supercopa de España - and looks poised to make more before the end of the calendar year.

With the squad hurting for depth and supposedly hurting for cash, Thiago's free "transfer" to the first team seems like a no brainer. Arsenal fans would nod in appreciation as it suggests less of a chance Barça will go after Cesc Fabregas (why promote someone and then spend big money on a replacement?) and anyone serious about austerity measure for FCB would also applaud the move. And, really, for a team that trumpets the number of youth players in the squad during the Champions League final in Rome, promoting youth seems like simply the right move to make.

They dont have that option at Arsenal Store USA

I originally ordered from the UK with the RvP Jersey, but figured if I ordered from their US store, i'd get the jersey in much quicker. And yes, it feels quite nice!

and BTW

good, maybe they'll keep their fucking hands off Cesc. And I still say that AW needs to buy Elia, we'll need an Arsha replacement soon.

Red370 · 11-15-2010, 06:10 PM

I got a feeling he'll finish his career as a Gunner, he probably doesnt mind the rain like that pussy J.A.R.

cow · 11-15-2010, 06:18 PM

lol JAR

Red370 · 11-15-2010, 07:02 PM

I refuse to call him anything else, asshole got me all pumped n stuff because he was scoring boatloads and winning matches for us, next thing I know, hes not used to the weather and whining about how much it rains in England and this and that, I will forever despise the bastard, only reason I kept the shirt is because it was the 1913-2006 "Last Hurrah at Highbury" kit, stupid JAR.

phelan · 11-15-2010, 10:59 PM

still trying to figure out what jersey to buy for next year's kit

cow · 11-16-2010, 07:13 AM

If things stay the same, maybe Song for me. I want a Rosicky, but dude never gets significant PT.

Red370 · 11-16-2010, 08:00 AM

Wilshere will be my next. No better way to warm up to an English crowd than to have one of their own on my back, being that i'll be attending no less than 10 matches next season at the Emirates

its crazy, there are no seats available for less than 80 pounds, and those are nosebleeds. Good thing I got 10k left from my reenlistment bonus, woot.

phelan · 11-16-2010, 08:19 AM

Honestly, I've never been overwhelmed by the home support. Emirates should be resonating with voices, but it often isn't. I'd try to get some away tickets to some ridiculous place like...oh, I dunno. Anfield, or Old Trafford. The away support for Arsenal is superb.
