you sneaky little bugger. I will try and figure it out. As long as their name does not rhyme with "Dump" I don't care as long as they are ruthless richer than most countries and want to crush the competition into oblivion.indeed that’d make sense
Pep's spending is insane (£941m and counting at City)
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
what's stopping you then? get you badges, get a coaching role and go for it.
What on earth are you babbling on about?
Barcelona lost to the 3rd place side in a weaker league and then Liverpool beat the side that eliminated Barca. Barca are easily one of the europes top sides.
Genuinely I think only Real, Barca and Bayern are clearly better than us. For the rest its a coin flip (PSG, Atletico, Juve). Thats why all those sides ourselves included are capable of going out to anyone or hammering anyone on a given night. Over 90 or 180 minutes anything can happen with those teams, thats what makes this Real so special. They find a way, found a way past Juve when collapsing found a way past Bayern despite probably been the worse team over the 2 legs. This is what all the top sides bar Real are missing.
It does not rhyme with Drumpf
That's fine. But the point is, what has Guardiola himself done that's special? I don't doubt he's a good manager and if he had a chance to prove himself, he probably would.
But take any half decent manager, say Chris Hughton, if you gave him a top 3 job and £300m to spend per season without needing to sell anyone. Would it be an amazing achievement if he won the league within 2 years?
Could Hughton win the Bundasliga with Bayern? Or the Champions League with prime Messi, Iniesta & Xavi?
Guardiola is probably lot better than Hughton, but he's made things as easy for himself as he could in his positions.
@Thunderhead
Just think about Eleven, in another language
The person in question is undeniably one of the 5 most famous people alive
Im surprised that anyone would contest that. Yes they are one of the top 5-6 sides in the world at the moment, and we aren't.
I think your question yet again proves that we are too busy trying to find faults with City. Now is really not the time to mock them. We can do that when we beat them to the title or win the CL.
Fair enough. I agree that only a few teams are better than you right now
Thought they'd already done that with the 2022 WC?
My God, I just translated it into Spanish. Were being bought by Beyonce????
People hang far too much on the CL and use it as a criticism. In the end, the league is about sustained quality over a long period of time, whereas, CL, like any cup competition, is knockout, and is dependent on a much shorter run of games where quality as well as fortune, is more a factor. Even the best team in the world can have one bad game at the wrong time and suddenly they're out the competition. This is why you can have a dominant league side fall in Europe and an under-performing league side prosper in Europe. The variables and circumstances are vast.
Isn't there a bloke on here called Revan? I think he's involved.
They want one they can win.
Elf? Elf fuel?
Onze, Mr Onze?
I've exhausted my repertoire now, I can only count up to 4 in Spanish.
Emery managed to lose with PSG...
Yes money and having the best players is 70% of the battle. Pep is not some genius 10 levels above other manager, he's simply up there with all the others at the top. In the end the players decide it. I don't believe for a second another manager could do what he's done this season, most definately not Hughton but I also think I don't Pep could have made the CL final with Liverpool.
Each manager has their own specific strengths imho and Pep's is give me a good team and even though I'll drop a few clanger, I'll win 80% of game. Klopp on the other hand is give me the underdogs and I'll have them punch above their weight. Jose will win with a strong defence
There is a reason Moyes failed at United, there is a reason Hughes didn't last at City. LVG's failings, even Pellegrini who took apart a great side over 3 years.
Pep is one of those managers like Jose imho who given the best or what he desires will win. I don't think for a second Hughton or Dyche could do that, very different jobs with different goals.
Got all the info today, even the Sir Alex to Real rumours.
Haha fair enough, mate. I agree it's not ALL on City. There are too many players in the market for it to be the fault of just one team.
Mr Once then?
It's a shame because Mourinho's building a solid side.. Pogba, Lukaku, Matic, Bailly and Sanchez are all good signings, the only one that's a bit meh is Lindelof.
But that's £300m spent over 2 summers, vs £580m for City and they'll blow us out of the water this summer again. Given that City already had a stronger squad with De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Aguero etc.. it's tough for us. Dunno if we'll be able to compete with that.

Ok guys, time to find the secret: https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/words/eleven
Eleven in Chinese:
十一
十一
Bezos does not rythme with Once...
It’s not Spanish!
stfu cal
You said it was!
Eboue?
why do you clowns think a guy in hong kong who spends his day searching ronaldo on deviantart has any info
I said Eleven is Once in Spanish
I did not say who I mentioned is the Spanish for eleven...
You’d be so sorry when it happens
Not saying it will, but it’s very much an ongoing possibility
City have, in recent years, walked away from deals where extortionate signing on fees, agent fees and wages have been demanded (Falcao, Pogba, Sanchez). Guess where they all landed?
We used to have to pay a premium to bring players in due to no CL or realistic hopes of top silverware but that all changed in 2011 and 2012.
Cal has turned into Acquire Me
Sahp-yat is 11 in Cantonese. Sahp-yat rhymes with Salmann (first two letters). It is Muhammad bin Salman. We'll be rich as feck. And use OT to behead criminals like they do in Saudi Arabia.
I for once, welcome our Saudi overlords.
Rumour is some unknown Chinese billionaire is trying to persuade the glazers to sell. Supposedly made a play at getting 8% of the club off the market but the Glazers still on 80% so unless they decide to sell then it’s somewhat worthless.
Onze. The Fonz. It's Henry Winkler.
