Support NeoGAF

[Clegg]

What do we do now.

Fellaini is good but not worth £24m.

 

[KidA Seven]

I don't think he lied about NeyGOD, there was no convincing him, he wanted Barca and not even Madrid's 100m+ could convince him.

I know. I said he lied about Thiago being the one he wants, when he already made it clear he wanted Nerman the most.

Moyes: "I won't talk about players at other clubs, I dont think it is right, but I can tell you we're out there trying to do some business."

Pep Guardiola: "Thiago is the only player I want, that's what I told them. It’ll be him or no one."

..

Moyes out.

I think Moyes is in a trickier spot.

Obviously he's more respectful than Pep, but one word about Thiago out of his mouth and City/Chelsea will be circling like sharks.

What could he have said anyway?

There isn't a manager in the world who could match up to Pep in this deal.

There may well be other players who we miss out on cos of Moyes but Thiago isn't really gonna be one of them.

This is what you do after you win everything, you buy more good players.

Look what to happened to Inter.

 

[3Sixty]

The EPL has never really been about buying the biggest superstars.

But rather turning players into one.

 

[D_prOdigy]

this is problematic because I don't know who to blame

what really happened to inter. was it really because of mou leaving?

blame bayern and their charismatic coach pep

 

[Broder Salsa]

I think I'm starting to like Bayern for all the tears they get out of GAF, at least they can put an end to this unbearable Thiago wank.

 

[Joel Was Right]

The secret recipe to success in football?

Step 1: Take the helm of arguably the best club side ever, with arguably the best player ever, and dominate a two-team league and Europe. Result? You're seen as the source of tiki-taka and football domination.

Step 2: Join a big club with large financial resources. Buy out the talent in the league to ensure domestic domination, and use result of Step 1 to convince board to buy the best abroad. Result? All the success will be down to your seemingly magical talents of building a great team.

Step 3: Repeat.

Step 4: Join the Hall of Fame

 

[Cousteau]

City gonna go after Ronaldo. If United lose out on him to their rival..

 

[D_prOdigy]

blame bayern and their charismatic coach pep

bayern is an abstract concept like numbers and Scott Sinclair.

 

[Broder Salsa]

City gonna go after Ronaldo. If United lose out on him to their rival..

He's going to Chelsea to work with Daddy, sorry.

You won't be saying that after they destroy Chelsea and Blablurn trolls you.

The Spanish seem to be swayed by public outbursts of affection, so you should have said something!

It looked like United had a huge head start on Bayern in the race, too.

Oh come on. Pep was instrumental in creating that great Barca side, they were in disarray before he came in, finishing 3rd behind Villarreal.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Sounds like Pep is saying some shit about Rossell and Neymar too.

Eventful press conference lol

We could have tried to do the deal quicker, yes.

I don't think any public comment would have changed things though.

even if bayern 'destroys' chelsea and bla trolls the bejesus out of him chelsea will still be the champions of europa
no need to grieve

 

[Milchmonster]

Thiago to Bayern is ridiculous. I'm not saying it's a bad transfer but it could backfire easily.

In the best case, someone like Robben/Ribery/Müller will be benched permanently and there'll be a huge uproar at Bayern.

In the normal case, someone like Kroos/Gustavo/Shaqiri will be benched permanently and bail out next season without any fuzz.

 

[Labadal]

Reading that we are interested in Burak Yilmaz. I wouldn't say no to that deal if Suarez leaves. I know it's only a rumor but I did like what I saw in the CL.

Shaqiri can come over to us for a one year loan. I promise, he would be treated well.

Seems like Pep is saying Rossell used Tito's cancer against him and broke a promise or something.

What happened there?

Pep's brother is Thiago's agent.

Congrats on the signing Bayern.

From the sounds of it he's burning bridges...

Rummenigge. LOL.
I still hate him though, even if he lands Thiago.

Our midfield is well and truly FUCKED.

I agree that it could backfire. It makes me very wary of this transfer already.

My hope for this season was that Pep would finetune last season's system with minor adjustments, like improving Kroos, Martinez or Shaq.

Now everything's different.

Oh god, the news is just music to my ears. City miss out on Isco, we miss out on Mkhitaryan, and now Utd miss out on Thiago.

ATTENTION!

I made a Google Doc with the calendar for pre-season schedule ahead of the next few weeks. All of the PL clubs are listed, except for a few games (since I ran out of space). I prioritized color highlighting for clubs that have numerous fans on FootyGaf and bold/italicized games that look interesting (like two PL clubs, or against another top league or CL team)

You can access it here:

Would be nice to add to the OP. That way you guys can just look at available friendlies by the day instead of searching through every club's schedule to see if something will be on.

When you open the document, you need to click on the July or August tab, at the bottom. It will start you on January.

That is all.

United losing out on young talent like this makes me wonder how they managed to sign Bebe.

Hahaha... Well done, bud.

[Feorax]

I suppose, other than the obvious coefficient penalties, this is the price of PL clubs falling short in Europe. The league just isn't as attractive.

[Wilbur]

Morsel that's top

 

[bjaelke]

The goal for Borussia Dortmund, is to reinforce and focus still at the top of European football. According to reports in Portugal, the German club have identified the Danish force at Fiorentina, Kenneth Zohore , the ideal qualities - as a young man with plenty of room for improvement - required by the technician Jürgen Klopp.

So he's just looking for shit players?

i'm definitely not holding a grudge

It's an interesting question: how do we measure greatness within football management? We as fans probably have an entirely different metric to what those in the sport have.
