By bud Go To Posthe was responding to what klopp said. is he not allowed to do that?Of course he can, but it doesn’t make him right.
And the reason that’s classed as moaning is in his need to make such a statement on the matter. Klopp referred to four clubs, not just City. So if Pep wants to take that and come out swinging he should really look at the #fachts first.
By Arnie Go To PostPep moaning about the media and the perception of him spending limitless money. Well the data is in and in both his and Klopp’s time at their current clubs, including the summer before Klopp joined, these are the results:Without any negative intent, I honestly think Pep's out of touch with reality on this. At Barca, Bayern and City there was never a situation where the budget was close to tight. I imagine he doesn't have any clue how much his clubs have actually spent, especially compared to clubs with a (tighter) budget and if you include wages and signing fees.
Klopp Net Spend: £93.5m
Pep Net Spend: £438m
So, yea….
Doesn’t stop him being the best coach on the planet. But does make him a bit of a bellend, for moaning so consistently.
But you could also say he's a spoiled brat. That's a topic on which he should just stop commenting/whining about. It's the same when he whined at Bayern that he didn't get Neymar but "only" Götze (that's actually a nice topic whether that was the right decision or not). I don't agree with people saying he needs to prove himself at a lower club, because why should he? But yeah, he should stop complaining about people "criticizing" his spending.
I even quite like Pep, and obviously think he’s an incredible coach regardless of the expenditure. But yea, he really should stop talking about money as quite honestly he hasn’t got a clue. His budget is ginormous and doesn’t seem to have much of a limit. There is no financial imperative for City to manage what they spend or generate funds in any meaningful way.
Which is mad for a small club with a pitiful national and global following.

i can't remember the last time the eredivisie season started before the premier league.
this is weird.

Pep is the football manager equivalent of Lucille Bluth assuming bananas cost $10. He has no context for the value of players
I honestly don't think he cares, knows or wants to know about any finances at the club other than his own wage haha
Who needs to renew the Fantasy Football league?
We doing another prediction spreadsheet as well?

By n8 dogg Go To PostMe likey. Altho I’d like Fred to be given more of a chance, especially over Matic.
Having Matic or McTominay as your only defensive player in the middle?

Sadly it's going to become boring with one team dominating
I dont want Mandzukic
he'd just be in the way of youngsters coming through.
not all that glitters is gold, Ed, have you learned nothing?

By n8 dogg Go To PostMe likey. Altho I’d like Fred to be given more of a chance, especially over Matic.that's exactly what he does, and what he did with Dybala.
I know a certain player that went partying after bottling a 3 goal lead for the 2nd year in a row, and then proceeded by giving an exclusive interview where he used his daughters as an excuse to why he had to party.
By Lupercal Go To PostHaving Matic or McTominay as your only defensive player in the middle?
Works for City with Fernandinho. If we counter-press high and keep our full backs further back like we have done in pre-season, then it’s not as crucial an issue.
By WJD Go To PostWhy is literally every tackle a foul on this PES demoLoved that. Positioning is such a big factor in PES this year.
When did McTominay suddenly become the foundation of United's XI? I thought he was their version of Jake Livermore.

He’s still rubbish. But if you hang around long enough to play enough games you eventually start to look less out of your depth. Especially in his position. Football isn’t hard if you can the basics and know your limits.
Finally some good competition to Alba as this lad was really good for Betis last season. Shaping out to be quite good summer window so far.
Fabio Paím, the guy Cristiano Ronaldo said was more talented than him when he arrived at United, was arrested on drug trafficking charges.
So Van de Beek close to leaving. And apparently we’re selling Schöne to Genoa now. Not cool Marc, not cool.

Jonas Wind player and young player of the month in the Danish league. Absolutely deserved, what a player

Yeah, think it's hard to find people who won't agree with that statement.

please
By n8 dogg Go To PostMe likey. Altho I’d like Fred to be given more of a chance, especially over Matic.This would only work at home vs like the bottom 3. It's suicide against a decent MF.
Apparently the reason Everton to Arsenal didn't happen is because they wanted 40m and that only covered Gremio's 50% ownership of the economic rights. There are 3 other parties who own the other 50%. LAT football ownership is great.
Also, Pepe's agent got a neat 10m fee for his transfer from Lille. Scum pls

also apparently we were the only ones with an actual bid on him and gremio were really hoping we would bid higher

Ole clearly trying to find a partner that best suits Lindelof. He’s tried him alongside Axel, Bailly, Jones, Smalling and Rojo now.
Enter Slabhead.
Think that’s very close to the team vs Chelsea next week.
