Tempering the Guardiola Optimism

He will need some time to settle in. However, there will be the usual nobs on here expecting this:
1st season - PL and a cup
2nd season - PL, CL and a cup
Subsequent seasons - Quadruples all the way
Anything less will be a total disaster and much flapping will ensue.
 
According to a journo this is how we could line up under Pep

................Hart
Zabaleta...Kompany..Otamendi...Angelino
.............Fernandinho.....Nasri
Celina..........de Bruyne.......Sterling
................Aguero
 
Tempering optimism. Bloody hell we're going through a real shitty patch and there's one bright star on the horizon.
All you want to do is piss on our parade ;-)

Fair enough coming from abroad I was thinking of giving him 8-12 games before my final judgement but being a holistic club I was including age group & ladies matches.

If he doesnt win the league with players made up from EDS and the ladies team then frankly I'll be let down. Again I say, I'm not unreasonable, Champions league he's allowed Bony.

That would mean we are not signing anybody .

Celina and Angelino aren't ready and Nasri as a defensive midfielder would be a catastrophe. We need new signings in those three's place.
 
It'll be very interesting. His track record doesn't seem to indicate he will be here for more than 3 years so it'll be:
Y1 - bedding in
Y2 - win a bit
Y3 - is he staying / is he going / who's next distractions.

Reading Pep Confidential then there's a lot of grand talk from the Bayern leadership before he came about where he would take them - and it's hard to see he has met their original expectations.

Fuck off. If the fucker doesn't win 'The' double, the FA Cup and League Title (not that Carling Cup and League nonsense), then he can do one. Yep he can fuck right off, and take Silva and Aguero and KdB and Sterling...........and Bony..........with him.

Who? Neil 'fucking' Armstrong?
 
Now it is being reported that he struck a "verbal agreement" which now means he is banned from buying any Munich players in the Summer

The negative press continues...there will be more!!!

Pep OUT!!
 
We seem to get quite ordinary teams, in fact, teams destined for the Championship, who play out of their skins when it's our fixture - Norwich, Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle! I would think that EVERY team will step up their effort and determination to beat a Guardiola team. Thirty-eight fixtures next season where the opposition deliver their game of the season!! Twice!!
 
Am i the only one still mega excited? we are getting THE best manager in the world

Just because he has Nasri in a deep midfield position doesn't mean he thinks he'll play as a defensive midfielder.
