Guardiola to be found out in the premier league


Article in the paper that shall not be named saying City want to sell Stones !

Surprising that they would get rid this early but he's not exactly set the world on fire since joining.
Sounds like utter horse faeces to me. He was brilliant until his injury and then made a couple of high profile mistakes and got injured again.
Still see him and Laporte as the future centre backs for City.

aye can't see it, he will be the perfect center halve for that style of play and there aren't many around, I think that run of 3 defeats highlighted that long term, otemandi isn't a first choice, city were at their best this season when stones was fully fit and on form, don't expect much rational talk on former everton players on here though, most people on GOT thought ashley williams was an upgrade on him!
 

So people rate Guardiola as this great manager perhaps the best in the world but what defines a great manager.
Should a manager who is managing Barcelona with the best team in the world win the league and champions league... yes. he won the champions league twice with barcelona out of four attempts, he won the league 3 times out of 4. Is Luis Enrique a great manager too? or does he just managing a great team?
Should a manager with Bayern Munich win the champions league, a team who in his era there perhaps the best in the world.... yes, he didnt win it. He won the bundesliga 3 times but hardly surprising when he signed all their rivals best players from them, eg Lewandowski and Gotze.
My main point being, he failed at Bayern Munich, the league was a gimme for the them but ultimately the champions league he didnt even reach a final.
As for the premier league when did a team last win the league playing Barca esque style football? I dont think its been done. Look what that style did to Everton last season. Then compare Leicester's effective counter attack style.
For me Guardiola has done what has been expected of him as a whole on his career and certainly is no elite manager. His style will be found out and I expect him be struggling next season. I cant understand the hype and odds suggest Man City are huge favourites to win the league... not for me.
Yes

Have to say that was a very poetic and typically City-esque way to end the season. 6 years to the minute since Aguero scored against QPR Jesus scores to bring up the century.
 

Good manager, obvs, just hate City now they are financially doped to the eyeballs. At least United generated their own success, then reaped the PL windfall, rather the other way round. And United achieved their standing in the global game because of a genius manager.

Lets face facts, if SM had set his sights on any club, they would be part of the laughable "elite", not the smallest club in Manchester.

True, but much more difficult to generate your own success now than when it was united did it

He could have chosen you and had the smallest club in Liverpool.
