Pep Guardiola

[FCBarca]

Can't see Kompany staying under Pep but he's 30 and still has 3 years left on his contract so who knows. Worst part about Pep to City is how annoying their fans can be but hopefully they too will get a good Guardiola education

I think Bayern has been the best club in the world last 5 years. Guardiola not winning the CL with them would be pretty big miss.

they lost to a garbage chelsea side in 2012, at home.

So did Barca under Pep.

Doesn't mean they were not the best side in the world over that 4/5 years.

i prefer to look at it year by year, it was very arguable if we were the best in the world in pep's last year, and we definitely weren't the best in the tito and tata years. by all accounts, bayern has been the best in the world in just 1 season over the past 5 years, and barca 2 seasons (10-11, 14-15).

Barca 2011-12, while on a decline and with some motivation problems, was still the best team in the world in my book. Bayern was the best in the following year, and both Madrid teams in 2013-14, maybe with a slight edge for Real because of the CL. We again in 2014-15.

We are the best team in the world for the last decade, period, with ups and downs for sure, but the most consistently #1

Anyway, what do you guys think ? Pep guardiola to get City their first UCL in his 3 seasons there ?

Guess it depends who they can bring in, I think by year 2 they should be semi/finalist contenders at the very least

 

[Barcaman]

No.

 

[Flavia]

Pep's supposedly wanted 11, by sport:

Alaba and Verratti won't happen.

 

[Devils]

Neither should Bravo.

City can go fuck themselves.

with favorable draws, they might hit the semis 1 or 2 times out of the 3 seasons, but i don't see them cultivating the mental strength and tactical acumen to win the CL so soon. mou's original chelsea was a strong side and it took them numerous semis to finally break through.

 

[Vlom]

I don't believe it either.

I don't even see City capable of playing possession football with their current square footed squad honestly, they'd need a massive revamp to fit into Pep's idea... now imagine them trying tiki taka against us or Bayern

 

[KingMessi]

We will beat Pep to Laporte's signature.

Hope so, let them get their british quotas with Stones

 

[JamDav1982]

There is no chance he would try and pair Stones and Laporte that would be a disaster.

One of his biggest challenges will be to keep Kompany fit. He is their leader and by far the best defender of any the names linked or currently at the club. Would go as far to say he may be their most important player under Pep if they are to win things.
