Well I'm not sure they still have Keita who can effectively do Wijnaldum's job and be a box to box central midfielder, I think what may make them weaker is shifting from their style of play which has been so successful over the last 2 years and if you're going to incorporate a playmaker in your team as good as Thiago that means that almost every play will have to go through him to build attacks. That means the forwards won't get the ball as quickly which is IMO where they are at their deadliest. What he will provide though is the ability to break down stubborn defences which is what they have been missing against teams who bank up.
I think some people are underestimating the quality player Thiago is, its as much what he brings mentally as well as playing wise. The guys is a born winner.
