He was at least equal in 2016/17
Since them Chelsea has spent more than the budget of Djibouti and still battling with Iropa
While Pep was buying Bernardo, Chelsea was using the same money to buy Drinkliquor

All that does is make Pep a better manager than Chelsea board since Conte is not the one who bought Drinkbleach

raumdeuter:
He was level with Chelsea in 2016/17

SInce then Chelsea has spent more money than Pep meaning Chelsea has spent more than Djibouti budget and still struggling in Yuropa cup

The statement was "He was at least level with other EPL teams in player quality". That's just showing magnanimity to avoid arguments. The qualifying descriptor there is "at least".

He of course had better players than other EPL teams but the playing field was more level compared to Barca and Bayern days where the difference in quality was more Stark.

You can go and educate your brother on net spend, not me.

A40:
This is patently false. Go and check their net spend and get back to me. Over the last 3 seasons

Pep +£398m
Klopp +141m

Don't claim Klopp has anywhere close to Guardiola's budget. As you can see they are not in the same zip code

popizaino:
My delusion is certainly your double standard cus had pep had this sets of players on the bolded we would have heard tales of how they were world beaters putting in their previous achievements as reasons. The fact I bash Willian every day doesn't stop you and your cohorts from believing he is an excellent player. You don't rate John stones highly only to name him as one of the world beaters in pep teams speaks volume. Thank God fabregas wasn't dropped by mourinho and we saw how he was instrumental to our epl, league and fa Cup triumph.

Will you sharrap dia. Mikel went to China after 4years glued to bench and came back to Middlesbrough on free transfer. Even on free transfer, no decent team will take him. His age mate Axel Witsel went to China and Dortmund paid €20m to bring him back. Next time, you repeat your Mikel being a World Class player nonsense, I will konk your head.

Your MCMs Mikel and Fabregas were given more than half a season by Hiddink to run midfield with no interruptions, and all we saw was Drawchester United. The same midfield is what you think is worthy of running a 90+ points team. Fabregas has been rejected by every big club and every manager he has played for in the last 8 years. You are deluded.

Even Mourinho had to draft Zouma in midfield from January to May 2015 to close out the title after we played Spurs when every EPL team saw that Fabregas is a powderpuff escort to target if you want to beat Chelsea.

raumdeuter:
City has level quality with their rivals and Pep showed his input by winning an average 99 points in 2 seasons

He was at least level on quality and he flopped, before spending Djibouti budget

popizaino:
This same team that finished 10th was the same team that won the league previously. So cut them some slack and not forgetting his midfield to forward position were Costa, Hazard, Willian, fabregas, Mikel, Matic, with an option of signing back salah. Brilliant players all through and not in any way inferior to the man City players.

This just shows how deluded you are.

Mikel is playing at Middlesbrough while Fabregas is fighting relegation in Ligue1 having been successively dropped by every manager he has played for in the last 8 years from Roura to Tata to Villanueva to Conte to Sarri, yet you think these are players managers should be easily scoring 90+ points with.

The same Willian you come here to abuse every game and claim you have been trying to pursue him from Chelsea since 2014 is now suddenly a 90+ points player who is better than Man City wingers.

When you are stüpid enough to think Mikel is a player to build consistent 90+ team on, then keep your stupidity to yourself.

raumdeuter:
When I tell you about shape shifters. Have a picture of ibime in your head.

This was what ibime said about john stones, the same one he's claiming to be a top defender that Pep used. The same John stones he called a scam

Nonsense. My position on Stones is well known and often repeated. Don't act like you are revealing something new. I don't rate Stones as a pure defender same as my position on Ramos, Varane, Pique etc.

However I will not deny them a place in the top 20 in their position, nor say they don't belong in top teams. In the possession based teams they play in, they always have one of these types of defenders who are great on the ball but average on the basics of defending. Such players are not for Chelsea who require pure defenders, but I won't deny them their place at the top table in their positions.

airmark:
Nobody blamed pep. He was lucky that a team like Chelsea were foolish not to have allowed Conte build on his first seasons achievement.

Vvd was 60m not 75m when Conte wanted him. Stones was bought by Fraudiola for 50m or so. That didnt stop them from spending again on Laporte. He was given such financial backing that he changed goalies in two seasons like its nothing.

Conte in same peps environment, would be smiling before every match.

Go and ask Pep why he left Barca in 2012. Barca board had started behaving anyhow, abrogating power to themselves and Pep walked.

City hired Soriano and Bergiristan 2 years ahead of Pep in hopes of luring Pep, to show you Pep is the real power at City. A player knows if they do anyhow, they cannot run to the Sporting Director or CEO because they are all parapo. A player will naturally behave himself in such environment, or become an outcast and hurt his career.

Unlike in Chelsea where players will run to Emenalo or Marina or Roman to get what they want.

For example, imagine Pep pinpoint Claudio Bravo for replacement, and City bosses instead of replacing him, offer him new contract. This is exactly what happened with Marcos Alonso in 2017 to where Chelsea gave a bumper contract to a player fingered for replacement by the manager. Now, you will struggle to find a buyer for Alonso given the new wages they gave him. Every successive manager will need to mollycuddle Alonso for the next few years when he is just not up to standard defensively.

Same with Luiz. Conte had fingered him for phasing out but Chelsea will tell him Luiz cost a lot of money, is on big contract and is one of Roman favourites, so you need to make space for him in your team. This is the equivalent of City telling Pep he must continue making space for Mangala because Mangala cost £42m.

Same way if City decide to sell player Pep wants to keep like Fernandinho as was the case with Matic.

All these things antagonise managers and lead to poor performance. Conte foul mood in 2017/18 was as a result of this and created a bad environment with the players. He was also partly responsible for agreeing to some crap players like Bakayoko, Zappa and co so I want absolve him completely. What I would say is manager and board must have complete synergy which is the difference between City and Chelsea. When Pep noticed that Barca board were doing anyhow in 2012, he went on sabbatical, rather than work in a fractious environment.

Eruditor:
Conte's team won the league 1.5 seasons prior. Finishing 10th was and will always be a fluke. If you want to be finicky then tell me how Conte wins that league without Kante? So why are you making it look like it was the exact same team when it was not?

Sterling, Sané, Fernandinho are the solid players? The same Fernandinho someone even claimed Casemiro that cannot pass a ball is better than?

You people should keep telling yourselves anything that helps you sleep at night.

Sterling, Sane are top 20 wingers and head and shoulders above Pedro who is Nolito level. Pedro is a starter for Chelsea.

Fernandinho has always been above Casemiro in my eyes.

popizaino:
Your opinion on the bolded.

Not my opinion. Fact. The tram Conte inherited just finished 10th

Frauiola midfield to forward position was Aguero, Sane, Sterling, KDB, Silva, Fernandinho.

Their weakest non-defender was Nolito, who was a starter for Spain National team whilst Pedro had been jettisoned by Spain, yet Pedro was in Chelsea starting11 while Nolito was the last substitute at City.

raumdeuter:
Which high flying team was Stones playing in?
Was matic not a starter in a high flying side even a core of Mourinho team,

Was luiz not a starter in high flying psg?

Bernardo was a starter in the same team the Bakayoko you used to diss played

You must be foolish. How does this relate to my point?

If they ask you to pick a team to score over 90 points in EPL, can you pick Alonso, Moses, Luiz, Cahill, Pedro, Matic as starting players? Conte posted what was the 2nd best ever EPL finish with these guys playing 90 minutes weekly,.none of whom are anything more than 7/10 players.

Only Kante, Hazard, Costa and maybe prime Azpi belong in 90+ points team of that bunch. What a superb achievement unlike the one giving excuses until they unloaded Seychelles budget on him.

At least 7 of City starting players are.top 20 players in their position in the world, compared to their Chelsea counterparts.that would be rejected by any serious minded top4 team.

Can Moses or Alonso be named amongst the top 50 fullbacks in football? Never. Kyle Walker is easily a top 10 or top 20 right back.

Can Matic be named amongst the top 20 midfielders? Never.

DeBruyne is easily top 3 midfielder, for me no1

Bernardo and David Silva are top 20 midfielders.

Aguero is a top 10 striker.

Sterling and Sane are top 20 wingers. Pedro will not even enter top 40 wingers in the world.

Luiz and Cahill cannot be named in top centrebacks.

Conte's achievement of making the top 2 (and still top 5) highest EPL finish surpasses anything Fraudiola has done on local level. The team Conte used to garner 93 points is worse than Fraudiolas City team in his first season which Fraudiola flopped with. . . much less opening your dirty mouth to compare players after Fraudiola used the budget of Djibouti to upgrade the team to top World Class players in almost every position.

Conte performance with Chelsea team of 2016/17 remains the most outstanding piece of local coaching in EPL to date.

Tammy Abraham scores winning penalty to send Villa to playoff final.

If Derby can join them there,.it will be a Chelsea flavoured final with Ashley Cole, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Jody Morris, Fikayo Tomori, Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham all involved.

June suppose go well. And the Copa America is coming up too.

No I mean as host. Southern African weather makes sense in June

It's like this tournament will be won by Egypt. A lot of their players are home based and acclimatised to the temperature.

raumdeuter:
SOmeone reached 100 with Walker, Otamendi, Delph, John Stones as starting players

Walker and Stones are starting players in a high flying team. De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Bernardo, Aguero, Fernandinho, can be counted as such, even Gundogan and Jesus. That's a full team of quality. Delph and Otamendi were the only carryalongs.

He should have tried Chelsea where only Kante, Hazard, Costa and Azpi can be counted as such, and everyone else is a carryalong.

Unlimited22:
The trio of Ndidi, Mikel and Iwobi or Etebo na im we still carry o. Any injury or suspension, and you know what comes next.

That tournament will be bloody sha. Temperature in Egypt in June should be mid-30s. Na South Africa for make sense pass.

Reaching 93 points with Alonso, Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Pedro and Matic as starting players is still my most amazing local achievement in EPL. Especially considering Conte team were losing matches till October when the team clicked.

Unlimited22:
You've not been seeing our games. Jamilu Collins is definitely first choice left back.

Paul Onuachu is an archetypal target man, someone who we can use like Spurs used Llorente against Ajax.

Thank God we finally got rid of Echiejile

Why is Agu still in our squad though. That guy has already clocked 30, add on African VAT. Have we not unearthed any new DM since World Cup?

Taciturn1:
where is Tyron Ebuehi?

He has not played a single club match this year.

Chei, see as Idowu loss

Please who are Jamilu Collins, Semi Ajayi and Paul Onuachu?

Eruditor:
Raumdeuter honoured his word unlike some people we know.

No long talk. No shady dealings. I did not even remind him, on his own, he initiated everything.

I stan.

Raumdeuter, spraying cash out the Boxster Porsche/
He always got a couple bands on him. . . like lobster claws/

chic2pimp:
He said He would transfer $100 into Eruditor's account If City do somehow manage to win the Premier league. Remember these times every man and His dog thought Liverpool would win the Title.

So in summary, he took L during his own victory parade.

airmark:
We have been begging you to table Dayo matter before Fenibeso, must he die in this Ls ?

My brother the $100 was used to table his matter before Fenibeso to cleanse him of Ls, but it does not cover what he had already agreed to prior.

What of our brother femiti. Did he come up with the payment plan on Monday or have you forgiven his debt?

thorrvik55:
er.uditor promised to go cannibal mode on his hand if pep fails to win the league, then ra.umdateur promised to transfer $100 to erudito.r if pep wins d league...

Chei, he is even dying by friendly fire.

When will this season of Ls end?

Serious prayers are needed oh.

chic2pimp:
Much Respect Dayo. You are a Man of His Words. I know Eruditor would most likely decline your offer but still, I respect that.

What offer?

Has Dayo lost another bet?

I hope he is not taking another L even amongst friends oh

You are talking nonsense. Move on. Arsenal played as much matches on Monday as everyone else.
Auba had proven his quality in bundesliga and had proved it in EPL on his first season. Parochial football fans like you are bad for the game. You don't diminish or taint a players hardwork because he doesn't play for you.

Wee you keep kwayet with all this unnecessary grammar. Putting your mouth where nobody called you and jumping to your own conclusions. Abi where did you see me claim Aubameyang is wack? Auba that I have been touting for Chelsea since Saint Etienne days. Thunder fire your leprous fingers and the fingers of every mõron who support your post.

I said he sneaks up on the chart when no one is watching, and racks up goals when people are not watching and in smaller games when no one is watching.

Case in point, I get most of my football round-up.from Match of the Day program on Saturday night. Aubameyang only scored on one Saturday this year. I play football every Monday night, and on Sunday I watch only Chelsea match except it's a big game. That's why I say he sneaked up on the chart when we ain't watching. Aubameyang scored more on Tuesdays than he did on Saturday this season.

Instead of asking me what I mean, you want to crack grammar upandan and jump to your own conclusions.

pazienza:
This is nonsense.
Who are you to declare Arsenal games irrelevant games?

Auba scored goals in important matches that earned us points. He didn't creep up on any one. He was up there on the chats from day 1, and should be clear of Mane and Salah, if not because he is a bit wasteful in front of goal.
Show respect and stop demeaning his achievements because he doesn't play for your team.

Sharrap. I don't watch Monday night football, which is when Auba seems to have scored his goals.

If true, Chris done enter one chance. Make he fly come back Ghana,.and forget whatever movie he is shooting in LA for now. Baltimore niggas don't play.

larride:
How Auba take win Golden boot?

Mystery of the century. I never really see this guy all season. Na on Monday nights wey him dey score hattricks when no one is watching.

He shared it with Salah and Mane sha.

EvilMetahuman:
that's why its good to learn how to accept L and wait patiently for when you get "W".


He was avoiding L when he said those things, now its gonna mask his W.

You cannot eat your L and have it

nihilistjnr:
on paper we've had a great season

top 4 finish, 2 cup finals - one domestic, one european.

History will remember this season more kindly than it should.

It's like Benitez 2013 season. People forgot the pains we went through that season losing Club World Cup to Corinthians, losing Carabao Cup semi to Swansea and UCL qualification looking shaky. All they will remember is the Europa win. Sarri still needs the Europa win to do a Benitez.

BWAHAHAHAHA
