I always got the impression that he thinks he should be at a bigger club than Dortmund.
He'll do well at HSV

With Pep going to City what expectations do the people have for him to be considered a success or a failure at the club?
With Bayern it was pretty clear, more of what Heynckes brought and to a degree he failed as he didn't get to the CL final but considering he will inherit an ageing core, a team that hasn't won a crap load of trophies either recently or historically, hasn't exactly had its best season of recent years which potentially wont get CL football next season, but has considerable fiscal backing and potentially leeway no other club has given him before.

He has to get rid of some aging players, especially the full backs will be tough to replace in order to play what he wants them to. Hart will have to learn playing football because the goalie is the last CB. Besides de Bruyne, he will need a decent DM, a capable CM and quick wingers. Aguero might play the nine and navas might do it on the wing, but in order to compete with other possession playing clubs he needs a lot of new players. By the time City finally adepted to Pep his time might be over.

Should do it like Atletico. Buy out clause for 45M with extra Anti-Bayern clause for 90M.

He has a three-year contract, right?
I'd say success if he wins the CL once, or two up to three league titles depending on the signings.
Did as expected with one or two league titles also depending on the signings.
Failed if he only wins the FA cup or that other one.

Honestly, I don't really get Watzke's hate for buy-out clauses. Sure, we made bad experiences with them so far. But the problem was rather that we agreed to very shitty buy-out clauses. Sahin and Reus' was too low. Götze's could be activated way too early. There's nothing wrong with giving Micky a 45m buyout clause in 2018.
That said, the Ruhrnachrichten stuff about Micky seems rather made up to me.

I think he'll be sacked if they don't win a PL title in his first 2 seasons at City. They'll spend a lot of money this Summer to give him what he needs and I think the owners will want to see a ROI fairly quickly. Anything other than a PL title and a Champions League win during his tenure will be seen as a failure, for City's Pep Experiment and for Pep personally as it will give his detractors more fuel for the 'can't do it without Messi' narrative.

Yeah three years.
When your agent is Mino Raiola you can forget buy out clauses. That guy is the best agent for any player that wants to earn top money. Go, ask Zlatan about this. Mickytarian will stay if he gets the Reus salary. Raiola has no problems finding another good club that pays him that.

Raiola has a bad imagr but he's also doing everything his clients want. He was the one that made the move to Dortmund possible. If Micky wants to stay, they'll work it out.
Great shirt. Does it better than Götze.
Bayern don't piss around do they.

Is it okay to like players while they're at Dortmund but instantly start to dislike them once they're transfered to Bayern?

Least he won't be wasted at Utd now. Looks a good player.
In other news West Ham have apparently bid £20m for Walcott.

Goodbye, you lying son of a bitch.
Funnily enough, he's actually one of the most likable players from the Bayern squad to me. He doesn't fuck around talking shit after matches and is actually on point most of the time. However, his diving antics are still making him an ass.

Yeah he has never been likeable.

Yes and yes.
Lmao. The transfer fee for the 18yo Sanches can apparently grow to 80m:

*bow* to the Portuguese, best football traders in the world.

That sounds more like it can grow to 45m to me.

Why? The Portuguese on there are saying otherwise. Also, Utd. was rumored to pay over 60m pounds, so why not?
/Here's a link from yesterday: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/fo...News-Benfica-80m-Signing-Rumour-Gossip-Latest
//The salary must be insane too since Utd. had been in the race, probably north of Götze's 12m, lol
Milchmonster

Oh, okay. I tried my best with my fake Portuguese skills and didn't see those posts.
Depends on what the criteria is that needs to be fulfilled but that's potentially insane.
Daily Star though...
Wow, Sanches came out of nowhere. Maybe these few Alexis Sanchez rumours were reporters catching the wrong name. Suck it, Ortlepp!
A fair price for us to pay, in my opinion. I've criticised Theo for years but he's undoubtedly talented. There'll be a lot less pressure on him to be the second coming of Henry if the deal goes through. The only issue is us trumping up big amounts of money yet again for an injury prone player.
I prefer the story where we want Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Only problem with Theo is he is crazy one footed. He basically never uses his left foot. Plus yeah he is injury prone. We are after Oxo apparently.

Pretty sure the criteria won't be: 2017: CL trophy, 2018 CL trophy, etc. lol. Benfica ain't stupid, they know their track record.
http://www.abola.pt/clubes/ver.aspx?t=3&id=611325
(edit: meh, they're just citing the Benfica press release)
They will easily spend over 200-250m on both of them over the course of 4 years. And error prone, slow ass Hummels will be 32 by then, while 18yo Sanches could flop like Goatze.

It says that the buy out clause was supposed to be 80m, but that they now only paid 35m through clever deals. Uh huh, let's just put 35 + 45 together
We sure will sell them back to you guys then.
We're running out of Spanish clubs to lose to.
It'll be Leicester. As they win the CL at their first attempt. Vardy scoring a hat-trick.

It´s stuff like Sanches being on the FIFPro best 11 of the year and being nominated for the Ballon D´Or.
Milchmonster
Member
Yeah, for sure. It probably comes down to 15-20m being easily achievable, 15-20m rather medium difficult and 5-15m rather difficult to achieve.
A kind of guaranteed 40-50m sounds about right.
Still need to replace Ribery and Robben. I know you have Coman. But you need more then that.

Can someone pls steal Hummels' captain armband now, though
Why the fuck should he still be allowed to wear it #CaptainReus
