I'm no in the know, but a good friend of mine owns the company that built and sold City Suites. He's a huge blue and has been incredibly successful here and in the UAE.
When Pep was interested in the place he's now bought, my mate was very keen to do the deal himself.
He mainly met and dealt with Mrs Pep, she gave him the indication that they didn't want to be disrupting the kids schooling and they'd be around for at least 5 years.
Rummours of a contract extension would indicate this too.
My mate did say Guardiola was very intense but was receptive to a bit of a chat about football, said to expect some big moves. Said he loved Aubamayang & Griesman. This was Christmas time and pre Mbappe's incredible development.
I don't expect us to sign any of those, but cheers for the posts. Gives great optimism.
