It's a risk but it's one they have to take and I think it will pay off and if it does they will rolling in it.
If it doesn't they just sell him and still recoup a good chunk of that money.
Wow Boro have Blackburn next!
Rummenigge: "Es gibt in der Winterperiode keine guten Spieler, die von guten Vereinen abgegeben werden"

So, Rummenigge is saying that either Tasci is shit or Spartak Moscow is shit. Or even both.

or maybe he's having the time of his life.

Everyone knows football is like an old boys club, that's why the City owners appointed Begiristain and Soriano. Here are two examples of why:
Pere Guardiola (Peps brother) and his business partner Jaume Roures bought controlling shares of Girona, guess who got appointed manager of the sporting side; Soriano, becoming a feeder club for Manchester City with 4 players currently in the Girona team.
There was a young Spanish players Brahim Diaz that made everybody take notice a few years ago but was very quickly snapped up by City to the annoyance of Barcelona, he is by far the best prospect in the City youth set up at the moment and looks almost ready for the first team at 17. His representatives are Pere Guardiola's and Jaume Roures' company Media Base Sports who's UK headquarters are based in Manchester which used to be in London.
As you can see with those two examples and there are a lot more it was pretty obvious where Pep would go in the Premier League and a massive plan of action was put in place to entice him that was years in the making and resulted in an entire new academy system being built. He will win more trophies as those with the trophy records get the highest paid jobs with the best resources and unless you happen to know the right corporate managers you aren't going to get the chance. It also helps if when you are doing well like Harry was doing at Tottenham you don't go and fuck it up by getting caught in corruption charges.
When it comes to football I always find it slightly odd that peoples logic goes out the window, its a job to everyone in the game and Harry is just pissed off that he isn't making that money and getting those resources. Look at all the "one club heroes" that are actually good, they all play for teams with money. You don't see many players of quality sticking at Macclesfield town now do we. Same goes for managers, the good ones get attracted by the money and career prospects or they are made by being given the chance that others don't get because of who they know.
What a dumb comment.

He's saying it to be a twat really, but he does kinda have a point. It's like people always picking PSG/Real/Barca/Bayern on FIFA it ain't hard to destroy people with those teams.
Now imagine some sweaty little 13 year old getting all angry trying to do skills with Nathan Redmonf using Norwich, too much of a challenge for the lad.
Maybe I should give in to banter but then we played a CL final with badstuber, contento and Tymoschuk and they were actually good...Love it when u try to be the voice of reason
Love it, Jack
I guess his crap talking son got that pundit job not because of his dad's connections but because he's actually good at what he does? Harry was left behind the bus and it hurts.
Who exactly is this CB we could promote from our youth? Anyone of them is leagues below tasci. Too bad this generation of youngsters has not even 2. Bundesliga level. Not convinced that rafinha and kimmich are going to stop Ronaldo, messi, Neymar, Bale or Suárez. I'm pretty sure we will struggle a lot against Juventus. Tasci has at least pace compared to benatia and badstuber.
I guess either the board thinks United are good enough with Shaw, Valencia, Rojo etc all coming back from injury that they do not need any new players or the Glazers are milking United until the last minute.
Shaw's injury did mess United up though and this is not an excuse.

If Dag and Red could pay Guardiola £15m, he might consider taking that job. Why in the world would the best ever accept anything but the best? The sort of mindset is pointless and not grounded in reality. It's a job first and foremost and if your market value is X, you're not going to take Y-X to prove yourself to some haters.
You really think Pep is the best? pls m8
He's good tactician, but far from being the best on that aspect. And not to mention his man management, which is absolutely the worst among top coaches.
Well, it's obviously open for debate and everyone has their own answers. Whether he's the best is subjective -- I think he definitely is regardless of the fact he's coming to City. But he's clearly the most desired and he's paid the most, so expecting someone who is paid the most to not be paid the most is fantastical.
Don't worry, I never rated Pep and he going to be found out next season.

Lee Mason is losing control of the Arsenal / Saints match. Is he fit enough to ref?
What happened?
Roberto Larcos

Giroud just got away with a fairly blatant one without reprimand, a couple tasty tackles have gone in (one from Campbell), and the crowd's on his back. Plus he seems to be a while away from the action most of the time. Arsenal break fast and Saints are playing it long, but he can't keep up.
I predict shots on target to goal ratio of 100% in the utd v Stoke match
Don't tell me we're losing already?
Fake edit: Oh we're 2-0 up in the first half? When was the last time that happened?
