I could see the argument why Xavi wanted him but he had a few good games here and was a massive upgrade to Alonso. But right now he's just not worth keeping around at this point. Far too injury-prone and apparently on high wages. With the rise of Cubarsi and Faye waiting in the wings, I just...

He's going to take a Sabbatical before getting back into managing. Not quite sure what's next for him but hope it's a decent coaching gig that'll allow him to keep honing his skills. I don't want him to go back to Qatar because it'll just be a waste of time for him.

His Man City team can be summed up as Industrialist compared to his Barca and Bayern sides. Brutally efficient in the league and cups but very boring in the process.

Rather have Faye in the squad moving forward at this point. Good on the ball but poor defensively. Felt bad for Cubarsi cause it felt like he was working overtime being paired up with him.

Apparently he's heading to Germany to Sign with Bayer Leverkusen.

We also broke the curse we had vs Lyon as we lost to them twice in CL finals. Very hard team to play against but we beat them finally.

Fuck yeah lets go!

I would avoid United if I was him. That team is in utter shambles no matter who you hire.

I think he'll do bits with some of the players we got. But we will have to see really.

You know what they say, can't beat so buy them! :mou:

Like I said in the Flick thread. Guess he's not coming back after all since Xavi is gone at the end of the season. No way Flick would consider him an option due to his lack of pace and physicality.

Have to assume the odds of Eric Garcia coming back from loan are over as well considering Xavi is leaving. No way Flick would even consider him as an option due to his lack of pace and physicality.

I just think he wasn't a good fit for the German NT. He probably thinks we have a better selection of tools to work with. I hope he's the answer.

I think we've been blessed with having actual youngsters with staying power coming through the system this time. Guys like Yamal, Fermin, Cubarsi, Balde, Gavi, Fort and you have others like Faye waiting in the wings are significantly much better than some of the other youngsters we had trying...

I consider both different profiles. Fermin while not as technically gifted is more attack-oriented and he also has been reliable injuries and fitness-wise this season.

For 15 million euros you would expect to be one of the best coaches in Football and not some guy who is posing as one.

Yeah Xavi is pointing out the obvious that we aren't exactly in top shape. But his statements is him also trying to cover his ass if we struggle again this season that "we weren't good enough because we didn't give him what he wanted due to financial issues" We need a good DM no doubt and a...

Funny how this is the breaking point. Not the sub par performances and a team that still has no real identity and struggles to do the basics on the pitch. This team has gone nowhere with Xavi this season and frankly is incredible that all it took is Xavi to say something negative to finally...

Sounds like he could still very well be sacked at the end of the season. Seems like he pissed the board off yesterday with his words.
