Why are you so angry?

Pep betrayed them by not managing Arsenal, Barca's spiritual successor.

 

[Noirulus]

Barça before Pep was average and after him the squad is average. He only lost 2 matches against Madrid and handed down beatings like 2-6, 5-0 and 1-3.

Mourinho walked into a great RM squad and Inter wasn't garbage they were dominating Italy just needed that european push. what big name coach will go to manage a mid-table team? that's right none.

(Prior to Pep's arrival) They were only average performance wise, because the squad became a bunch of egos with no style of play. While I don't think Barcelona (after Pep took over) had a great amount of depth, you can't seriously say a team with Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Busi, Messi, Alves etc is average...

 

[Ingeniero]

Arsene Wenger. He earns 9M for winning fuck all.

Not funny. 2/10

 

[bud]

There are criticisms of Mourinho in this regard as well, but unlike Pep, he won the Champions League with an average side like Porto.

where should guardiola have gone to to 'prove himself'? genuinely curious. like error said, why would any big name coach go to a mid-table team?

 

[Blablurn]

Not funny. 2/10

I think it's pretty funny

 

[Milchmonster]

Uh, why the surprise. It's all but confirmed since, I don't know, February?

And what kind of source is that? Why is Heynckes' agent talking about that kind of stuff and why should he know more than anyone else lol?

holy fuck. 9M?!

 

[Milchmonster]

The cunt is playing... Ugh, fuck that.

I guess it could be worth a gamble but two bad situations from him and Klopp can sub him right off.

Quique Reye (Heynckes' agent?) "Juve rejected a 45 Million bid for Vidal from Bayern"

Quique Reye (Heynckes' agent?) "Juve rejected a 45 Million bid for Vidal from Bayern"

The Heynckes agent stuff is fake, isn't it?

That just sounds like attention whoring.

That said, Bayern offering a shit load for some player? Probably true, anyway.

 

[arkon]

Quique Reye (Heynckes' agent?) "Juve rejected a 45 Million bid for Vidal from Bayern"

Bayern are scary.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

lol.

Now that's comedy.

Dortmund are playing him? Fuck them.

Hala Madrid, then.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

I hope I told you at the time that you were a fucking tit.

He always does that shit and talks down Man utd chances at doing everything, I remember at the RM match after the first half he said "We're gonna lose"

Worse than Kharma man.

 

[Yurt]

What the hell is he trying to do?

 

[Sloane]

And what kind of source is that? Why is Heynckes' agent talking about that kind of stuff and why should he know more than anyone else lol?

I'm not talking a out Heynckes agent, Sammer and Rummenigge more or less confirmed it weeks ago, unless I've missed something.

Disgusting that Klopp let's him play.

 

[arkon]

Well does he have a suitable replacement? I mean why scupper your chances in the present just to make a point to a player. As long as the player is performing to the required level, it should be fine.

 

[qindarka]

It's in Dortmund's best interest to let one of their best players participate if Klopp thinks he is properly motivated for it. And there is no reason he shouldn't be, imminent move or not, a CL semi is a huge deal.

 

[Gareth Bale]

They should start him and then sub him in the first minute so the crowd can give him a proper send off

 

[Sloane]

Well does he have a suitable replacement? I mean why scupper your chances in the present just to make a point to a player. As long as the player is performing to the required level, it should be fine.

It's not only about making a point but about the fans, too. Should have let Kevin play.

 

[Joel Was Right]

If he is willing to sign a contract now, before the season is even done, for another team that you could potentially play in the final, then it suggests his head and heart are elsewhere. Fans want players who they feel are committed to the cause, who want to play for them in these events. Goetze was so overjoyed at the prospect of joining Bayern he couldn't wait.

Personally, I don't believe a player is bigger than a club. I would drop him even if this were the Final.

This got such a huge smile from me. Announcer should curse him off the pitch too. I would buy a Dortmund jersey right then.

 

[pulga]

Arsenal, of course! Let us see what he does with the youth system and the stingy board!

Dude you're 39.

Vidal's agent: "Bayern made a €45m offer for Vidal but Juventus categorically refused to negotiate."

Confirmed then.

BAYERN

STAHP

ARTURO NON SI TOCCA

Edit: That was probably Heynecks' agent again, sorry. :lol

 

[Gareth Bale]

He's starting Modric

 

[arkon]

It's not only about making a point but about the fans, too. Should have let Kevin play.

Well, presumably the fans want to see the team progress and potentially win the CL more than anything else.

 

[bjaelke]

Lopez – Ramos, Pepe, Varane, Coentrao – Khedira, Xabi Alonso – Modric, Özil, Ronaldo – Higuain

Weidenfelller - Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer - Bender, Gündogan - Kuba, Götze, Reus - Lewandowski

Vidal's agent: "Bayern made a €45m offer for Vidal but Juventus categorically refused to negotiate."

FUCK OFF BAYERN YOU GREEDY SONS A BITCHES

FUCK OFF PEP YOU BALD CUNT

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Cyan in the locked CL thread lol

 

[Raptor]

Come on Madrid!!

 

[Sloane]

Well, presumably the fans want to see the team progress and potentially win the CL more than anything else.

And I believe our chances were better with either Kevin or Sahin instead of Götze, who will have a hard time today no matter what and hasn't seemed focused for weeks.

I'd leave that up to the coach to decide. He surely has a better idea of the player's mindset.

wat. maybe the board just threw it out there for poops and giggles.

no way they spend 45m on someone who plays ostensibly the same role when Javi Martinez cost 36m.

 

[Clegg]

Vidal went to Juve for £8m.

Frogie pls.

 

[Noirulus]

He's starting Modric

Wait, what? Didn't he announce yesterday that he's gonna start Xabi & Khedira? lol

 

[Yurt]

I honestly doubt the story. €45m for Vidal? That's a fever dream.

Yeah, he's no Javi Martínez.


OH COME ON

But seriously, that's too much money and it makes no sense. You have a good functional midfield.

 

[K1LLER7]

Why are Bayern trying to buy a new midfield? They just outplayed Barca.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Dude you're 39.

The feel of 19.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Yurt made that up lol

 

[Sloane]

I'd leave that up to the coach to decide. He surely has a better idea of the player's mindset.

Considering Klopp supposedly was as surprised / shocked as anybody when Götze's manager told them about Bayern, I'd doubt that.

 

[Yurt]

Yurt made that up lol

Giggs is obviously taking the same shit that Messi is.

 

[pulga]

I honestly doubt the story. €45m for Vidal? That's a fever dream. We're talking about Arturo Vidal, right? Because there's no way in hell we'd pay that much for him.

YOU GUYS PAYED 40m FOR JAVI MARTINEZ YOU KNOBHEAD

 

[bud]

martinez had a great game yesterday, but i still don't see why bayern spent forty million euros on him. he's no carroll.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Giggs is obviously taking the same shit that Messi is.

Or Messi is fucking Giggs brother's wife

This is so bad, it's...still bad.

bahahahahahaahahahaha. I just coughed on my coffee. Jesus.

 

[Milchmonster]

Regarding the little cunt, no we don't have a proper replacement now. But a 4-3-3 with either Sahin or Großkreutz instead would have been just fine.

I'm not talking a out Heynckes agent, Sammer and Rummenigge more or less confirmed it weeks ago, unless I've missed something.

I know, was just wondering what the fuck is up with Heynckes' agent lol

Honestly, if Lewandowski really signed a contract at Bayern (still looked like he could have joined United/etc. to me), sell him now. Will suck for us but honestly, Lewandowski and Götze both joining that Bayern team will be also difficult for Bayern.

Vidal's agent: "Bayern made a €45m offer for Vidal but Juventus categorically refused to negotiate."

Confirmed then.

BAYERN

STAHP

I'd say that must be from before they bought Martinez, though. Could see them offer 5m more than for Martinez, buying him now would be crazy.

 

[arkon]

He's versatile as well though. Pretty hand at CB for Bilbao from what I remember.
