Curious. What are your expectations of Pep at City?

A top three finish, with a decent UCL run is enough for me. But expectations could Change depending on how he revamps the team.

Why are the expectations for both teams different? one just top 4 the other top 3 plus decent CL run

Why arent we seeing people not you demanding Jose wins the EPL by next season like they are doing for city

Do to CL football, City has a better chance of attracting worldclass players unlike Manure who are still stuck in football-in-the desert(Europa). So, pep should deliver the league in his first try.. Afterall, mourinho did it when arsnnnl and manure where the two dorminant clubs.

Gosh this is sooo funnny

Keep quiet..Only fergie and wenger where in the league then. Now we have proven winners in over 6 clubs all at the same time.

Man utd werent going to CL when they attracted Di Maria, Shaw

Monaco werent playing CL when they attracted Falcao, James

Bayern wasnt playing Cl when they attracted Klose Lucatoni and Ribery

i am not sure Liverpool was playing CL when they attracted Suarez

When Mourinho delivered at first attempt he took a team who just finished 2nd in the league and a team who no one in Europe could match their financial power

pep still has aguero and KDB,
with just as much money as we do plus UCL football.

because them wan say I told you so
while asking for the unlikely.

who are those people saying we should be okay with a top 4 finish? mourinho should be mounting a title challenge next season. and should also win us a trophy. (in his 1st season)

tess1:

Why can`t Pep do it first time in EPL since he`s done the same in both La Liga and Bundesliga?

same goes to pep, he should also mount a serious title challenge with a decent run in the UCL, not forgetting winning a trophy too

We got Di maria but in the end we realized he actually never wanted to be here, and we knew how that worked out. He wanted PSG but the deal couldn't go through due to FFP. FFP is basically dead now.

Shaw was making a step up in his career from a significantly lower team in the league and we were the only ones who could match his fee comfortably when he was up for sell; our league position was as irrelevant as it got in the transfer.

Monaco werent playing CL when they attracted Falcao, James

Wages man, wages! Monaco has been paying huge in recent times and it's more likely due to that( not guaranteed)

Unlike in the PL when about 4 big teams can pay very huge wages as well and some have the offer of CL football. The situations vary.

Bayern wasn't playing Cl when they attracted Klose Lucatoni and Ribery

Bayern so far as i know can outspend everyone in the bundesliga. Even when they spent a good part of the previous decade being mediocre, the finances were still there.

i am not sure Liverpool was playing CL when they attracted Suarez

Refer to shaw.

We are discussing world class players here not those who are upcoming, past it or have been frozen out and currently (though i shouldn't admit it), City is a more attractive team to those players than United as we can both pay the same wages but they are in the CL and we are not.

I remember you stating recently Gotze foiled his move to Liverpool due to the latter's absence in the CL. The CL is a big pull but not everything though.

When Mourinho delivered at first attempt he took a team who just finished 2nd in the league and a team who no one in Europe could match their financial power

Chelsea may have finished 2nd in the league the previous year but Jose deserves a lot of credit, more than you'd be willing to give him for what he did at first attempt. Raineri spent over 100 million pounds but couldn't deliver any trophy, not even a spoon. Most managers would have gotten the same resources with conditions constant and not still win the league. Mourinho had to win it by 95 points, the record highest points till date and setting some other significant PL record that exist till today. That act was bigger than what you are trying to make it seem like.

PietroRico:

I'll pretend like you are not trying to insinuate that we may get Ibrahimovic because the media are the media are reporting it.

I just have a simple question.
Under what circumstances exactly would the Ibrahimovic move be regarded as failed at the end of the day?

I'm saying if Zlatan starts badly, the media will start saying Jose would have known better for signing an old man!

Looking at city's squad and i'm wondering why everyone is screaming they have a rebuild but not us, why? LVG has done a sh1t job. It's a travesty to say either of our attack, midfield or defense are in good shape. We have a lot of old players who are past it and some young ones who are not good enough or never will be.

How many aged players do city have compared to us? or ever 30?

We have almost as much important players over 30. I can go on and on.

GBR1:
I think that has to do with some details in his Chelsea contract.

It's United management instruction, just as was don't to Moyes.

You are most likely right.
Bros i want the euros to end as soon as possible; can't wait for the new season to start. To think that few weeks ago i really wanted the season to end so fast. .

Rashhhhhhfooord just scored for England

Rashford is not smiling

They both can win the league @ first time of asking.

Pep has an even bigger revamp to do. They've got a couple of aging lads & the money is there, his pedigree + UCL football. Pep can get just about any available player he want.

Jose has to consolidate on 3/4 positions in the present MUFC squad & what I can think of is a fast CF, RW, CB & CM. the cash is there as well as pedigree. There's also a small matter of EPL experience for Mourinho.

I even expect Jose to finish higher than Pep next season.

So how do you get it? Korea service or one on one?

Bro, I must confess it is like City needs rebuilding as much as we do.

Their defence ain't good; take Otamendi out and no one left since most are aged.

In the midfield, the 2 F are average, Toure is out.

Upfront, De Bryunce, Silva(with dwindling form) and Aguero, who is hardly fit, are the notable players they got.

We have younger players spread across every position eventhough most can be said to be average.

Alright, i agree with you. City have a bigger rebuild but we are not so far off. LVG has done a sh1t job. Currently the only world class player in our entire squad is the keeper. City have 3 already in Silva, Aguero and De Bruyne. Their attack alone is streets ahead of ours. Fernandinho is really underrated and is better than what most folks think. I won't be surprised to still see him there next season. I think Delph is sh1t, though he's relatively young. They've spent close to 100 on Mangala and Otamendi alone and it's bad enough their defence isn't sorted out yet.

Jose has now been confirmed as manager and i don't want it to seem i'm trying to make Pep's job appear easier than normal or make Mourinho's job harder than it is actually.

You have martial ddg rooney. Mind you man utd and city can be said to be equal right now. Both finished with same points. Both won a domestic cup. While man utd still have a young core which would most likely improve like martial rashford Lingaard city has an ageing core who would depreciate Kompany Kolarov sagna yaya

Both teams have lots of money to spend

Why are the same people expecting a title or bust from pep not expecting same from Jose

Pep fans - una don start with una pre-excuses abi?

Rebuilding or no Rebuilding, Guardiola must qualify City for the UCL semis atleast twice!!

Please what is Korea Service?

Dunno about others but for me, I expect us to challenge for the title next season.

It depends on the quality of the additions to the team. In my opinion our squad is still not as good as that of Arsenal or City
