chrissy3: This is the same with other clubs in Europe. They started earning small and then began earning big. Compare it with what other players were earning in other clubs then u realise the players were earning high. We all know Madrid and Milan paid far higher than other clubs then but fact is that other players still earned high without earning as much as Madrid and Milan players were earning. My point is that Ferguson had higher budget then than other premier league clubs coaches aside Liverpool coaches, but u can say it was lower than Madrid and Milan coaches. U can't compare him with Kenny Dalglish whose Blackburn players were earning very low, Rafa Benitez whose Valencia players were earning low or Rianeri whose Leicester players currently earn low. If u say Ferguson who had the highest budget in England then had low budget, then what do u tell Tony Pulis, Mark Hughes, Howe, Dalglish etc? 1 Like |

nwamehn:but you do know ferguson hardly ever buys big players. He boys big players on rare occassion when he knows he doesn't have time to groom someone to perfect fit his plans . |

chrissy3: Not fancying buying big or expensive players doesn't mean that he had low budget. Do u know that Man united never bought one expensive player last season but there were like three players in Man United earning around £200k per week? 1 Like |

nwamehn:Top teams surely would always have big budgets cause the players must be payed something worthy of their level. When I mean budget in my case ,I'm talking about ferguson bringing out hefty sums just to buy big players. It was never Fergies style. |

chrissy3:1. costa left after his 1st prolific season at their clubs. Falcao was the man behind the giant duo by 2011 and 2012....costa was mostly on loan btw 2006 and 2012...google it..... downplaying EPL? U guys are over hyping it like la liga boys don't do well in it and if Messi came it will be no go area like others not even close to him ain't striving 2. personal beef? Pep issue has always been yaya's agent....Yaya player well in barca and played the final and semi-final as CB with busquet as DM....yaya is better no doubt but just like carrick, busquet plays a simple and effective game that allows xavi and co do the magic without getting involved...yaya sometimes wanna break d odds and when counter happens, he has no pace 2 deal....sometimes he holds d ball too much....we as africans always turn a blind eye to this fact...muscle doesn't always win...a player like kante wld collect d ball without thinking. go google am....even mascherano cldnt play barca game....he lost confidence b4 pep converted him 2 CB and dat was d match against arsenal with busquet playing CB and mascherano running 2 block bendtner goal...google it btw busquet won WC and Euro12 as an undisputed starter with alonso getting subbed in almost all WC games except the 1st when Busquet was subbed.....he kept out even javi martinez at his finest 3. coutinho played in espanyol 2012 and went 2 liverpool 2013....ur point again? 4...navas played some dope games during pellegrini days and we all knw he aint a goal scorer is pedro not doing same now? ...I love EPL games but I hate pplr downplaying la liga or saying some bullshit abt messi not gonna adapt.....small silva and mata actually did great and messi in epl wld provide more passes than goals.....we stil hv de gea, courtois, even valdes nobody gave a chance.....ballerin no even near 1st team in la liga......good players adapt 2 Likes |

chrissy3: Ok, that's not the budget I meant. I meant how much u spend paying ur players' salaries. |

chrissy3:if you're talking strictly about goal scoring and messi wouldn't score more than 30 maybe you're correct because its a league where they don't play football, they only quack down skilful players, park the bus and throw long balls. I wasn't talking about goal scoring, personally I never talk about goals when I discuss who can play football or who cannot. So I wouldn't care less even if messi scores only 5 goals in a season in the EPL but I assure you he would put in fine performances week in week out, and nutmeg 500 EPL players. He would win ballon dors there. In summary if someone tells me messi won't score 50 goals in the EPL I wouldn't even give that person any attention. But if someone says messi wont perform in the EPL I tell that person how foolish he is straight up. The guy I was responding to said messi won't perform in the EPL. IMO ozil is performing better in the EPL than he did in LA liga. So also is Alexis and others I mentioned. If ozil only had a Ronaldo or a benzema upfront at arsenal he would still be recording record assist numbers. I mean you only record an assist if the fella you assist gets to score not to waste your assist on a giroud or a Walcott. 3 Likes |

barcaboi:like I stated he was on loan to espanyol at the age of 19 bt he was an inter player and you said costa wasn't among top 5 strikers and aguero that's why I gave you proof and by the way since when is it that you must score more than one season to be among the top 5 .Now let me ask if let's say hazard wins world best ,is he not number one on the list at that time? Costa and aguero at that time where among top 5 strikers plus falcao had already left in costa's last season .please don't downplay those players achieve cause you don't like epl. Plus please name the strikers that were top 5 in the list that aguero and costa didn't make.I can tell you confidently you can't count the strikers that are better at that time.When you know the truth say it. |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by ddippset(m): 3:23pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
barcaboi:don't mind all these people. Its all a myth that is in their minds. I have mentioned at least 5 guys who are ruling the EPL today who weren't so good in LA liga but they just won't let go. Just as he has always nutmegged and disgraced them in the champions lesgue messi would fuccck up the EPL straight up. 3 Likes |

ddippset:you can't just generalize like that, cos in Epl we also have different kind of teams, how many matches did Messi play against Chelsea without scoring a goal? He even missed a penalty. Messi will play well in England, but he won't be able to score so many goals because of the high intensity and pressing and players always have their peak time in their career, all those players you mentioned then weren't at their peak when they were in Spain some of them were not even first choice in their team. The truth is if Guardiola should get all the players that he needs today, he still won't be able to win the Epl with Tiki Taka. Arsenal is a little bit different from many of the Top teams in Epl and Guardiola used to beat them with Barca and Bayern with many goals margin and he was still able to use the weak man city to come from behind and beat them. Unlike the Champions League which is just two legged the Epl is 38 rounds and any team that can defend and counter effectively will cause problems for Man city, they were 3 goals down in 20 minutes against relegation battlers Leicester city. |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by Ximenez(m): 6:38pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
In Spain, Guardiola only have two teams to worry about and the El classico is the only big match where he had to worry about. But in Epl any team can beat any team cos even the so called small teams have exceptional players thanks to the money generated from TV right and how it's shared unlike the LA Liga where the two big teams are light years ahead of others, how many teams in La Liga can afford Neymar, Messi, Suarez, Bale or Ronaldo? 1 Like |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by ddippset(m): 6:40pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
Ximenez:iam sure you know football very well, you have spoken like you really do. Messi missing a penalty against Chelsea shows you that he is only unlucky not to have found the net against Chelsea. Except you want to imply that it was his village people that made him miss against chelsea. And if you say those players didn't reach their peak while in Spain then don't be surprised that messi might not have reached his peak just yet. He may not be scoring too many goals because he is a midfielder nowadays. But I tell you if you do watch him week in week out, you'd see him do with the ball at 29 years what 24 year olds cannot do. So even messi has not reached his peak. If he goes to the EPL today he might not score those goals but he will be super good. We have all seen him destroy Italian,german and EPL defenders in the champions league haven't we? 1 Like |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by Ximenez(m): 6:41pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
ddippset:He will surely perform, but he won't score as many goals as he is doing in LA Liga, had it been Arsenal is playing in Liga, it won't always be their fourth |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by ddippset(m): 6:48pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
Ximenez:if arsenal that plays tiki taka like barca but with far inferior players can consistently maintain top 4 and even come second, then barca with the quality they have had can win the EPL 3 consecutive times. Trust me no single arsenal player can make the first eleven in the barca team for the past 4 years. And yet arsenal have made top 4 consecutively. Seriously barca would dominate the EPL and messi would win ballon dor . 1 Like |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by Ximenez(m): 6:51pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
ddippset:I'm not just talking about the penalty, he played 5 or more times against Chelsea and couldn't score one goal, even the times Barca played man u and were victorious he didn't play very well like he would against other teams. Arsenal is a weak team, no matter what. They are not a really typical Epl team. Just look at cech, I think Messi put 4 goals past him at Arsenal in their first meeting after unsuccessful attempts while he was at Chelsea, Guardiola also used Bayern to demolished Arsenal and Guardiola used a not inform Man city without Aguero to beat Arsenal. My point is Guardiola is very good but I'm scared he might find it difficult to Win the Epl with Tiki Taka, he's already frustrated already talking about retirement and all at 45, and i can vividly remember at the start of the season when he said he wanted City to lose after winning their first ten matches. I guess he got excited too quickly. |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by ddippset(m): 6:58pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
Ximenez:the irony of it all is that only messi and ronaldo have had those kinds of goal records even in spain. there are so many other strikers who played in spain and england and they had the same numbers of goals at both places. maybe barca and Madrid have had too much quality over the years to support messi and ronaldo. but seriously if messi comes to the EPL with his barca team that gave him 50 goals a season and ronaldo comes to the EPL with the same exact madrid team that gave him 48 goals in a season, they would both score same. truth is that the world has never had players who scored more goals than messi and ronaldo. 1 Like |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by Ximenez(m): 7:02pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
ddippset:Some of your points are correct, but players like Bellerin will be first choice at Barca i think they are even serious about buying him. And another thing is that over the years most of the big teams have been having problems, just look at how many years Liverpool have been away, likewise Man U, the truth is that the Epl has really changed now with more World class managers in form of Klop, Conte so there is no place for Arsenal in the Top 4 anymore, no time for Average and Wenger's mediocrity Arsenal can't finish above any of Liverpool, Chelsea,Man U,Man city and to a lesser extent Tottenham. Cos Tottenham are not used to being a big team and they switch off a lot. |
Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by ddippset(m): 7:03pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
Ximenez:its not just england and Chelsea, there are certain teams in Spain that messi finds it difficult to score against as well. even great players do have droughts against certain teams. can you bet your last pay check that if messi plays against Chelsea another 5 times he don't score at least 2 goals?surely you can't. Did you say messi didn't play well against man u,? Hahahaha. You didn't watch! 1 Like |

Re: Guardiola Regrets Starting Iheanacho Against Burnley by Ximenez(m): 7:11pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
ddippset:We have a lot of aggressive teams in Epl except for few teams like Arsenal who do pass pass pass, and you can't outplay Barca with that style of play. Now go and check Messi and Barca head to head with Arsenal then compare it with that of other English teams |
