As someone pointed out, Pep had a 3 hour phone call with him but his Agent (his Dad) is a Dipper and was swayed by the media’s negative treatment of us. He was also not that well liked in the Dortmund set up. I agree, great player but he’s probably suited to Real, Dipoers, Rags and Bayern so fuck him!
He does come across as a bit of a cock but I guess a lot of great players have that in them, it's what gets them to the top.
