Re: Acid test for Pep Guardiola next season
Nonsense. City are rebuilding. But for Aguero, the bulk of the central spine has changed. Can Bravo speak English? Stones has yet to pair with King Vincent, bit part Fernandinho is now main man, Sterling had to come back from the dead, Nolito new to the Prem. To blend them all and get results at the same time, will be a marvelous feat.

Ok, they're not. Everything is the same. Ask Wee-wee Wan Gaal how easy it is to blood in new players and a new way of playing. If Guardiola bags the title, it will be one of his finest. That said, he wont, the league is Beloved's to lose.

Remember City started very well last season, just that they lost motivation midway.

Re: Acid test for Pep Guardiola next season
City need to win the league. Simple as that. They had the best team last year and bankrolled Pep's project to a whooping approximately 200 million euros---more than any other club across Europe.benteke wrote:But Pellegrini came in through the same process, found a City in similar circumstances, bought players and won the EPL title on then first attempt.Coach wrote:Ok, they're not.

They have the weapons and I expect them to dismantle teams and win this league with a bit of ease, frankly!

You are a wicked man! I a shocked at the way Yujam has turned on Africans. this guy was a staunch supporter of anything African, but he is willing to throw Africans under the bus in support of Pep. The you have Vincent! Good luck! Keep searching for the guy...tfco wrote:

Re: Acid test for Pep Guardiola next season
I would bet on Man U or Chelsea to win this season. Outside chance for City and Arsenal. Mourinho has his dream job, has scores to settle, and has the players to execute his plan. Conte's intensity might just bring the best out of Chelsea, who are unstoppable when they bring their game. They need Hazard to remain sharp and healthy, Costa to cut out the excesses, and they will be very dangerous.

Im sure you realised that when we do it that way, the total suddenly jumpss to around 300million for Pep.
For United you only have to include that 12.5million that is exciting you, then we are back to square one, if you know what i mean.
And how much would Manscum's jump to?
How can you say Bailly cost 30 million and Zlatan cost 12.5 million ?
On the account books we put a big fat Zero for Zlatan's transfer fee, unlike others where it's 30/40 million odd.
Then obviously everyone singed by every club is paid a wage/salary
And when we compute both wages and transfer fees, everybody's totals will of course go up. Including the additional 17m+ that City just logged...
And of course, it would be even more interesting to see how Zlatan's salary compares with young players like Gabriel Jesus and Sane, or Nolitos...
Only you could pull that off. First the bs with only including Zlatan's wages followed by this.
