So where's your proof that he was just a thug? Saying whether or not he had input in the overall strategy is entirely speculative. But what's more, because of his role for the most part of the film, don't you think it's logical that an intelligent mind such as Bane's would take part in the planning? Can't Talia and Bane work together in their strategy? And even if the overall strategy was Talia's, wouldn't we still consider Bane both intelligent and strong in what we see of him?
