LvG spent money that were considered big in his time as a coach as well. 400m in 2yrs in the pre Neymar days.

Pep Barca vs LvG Barca
Pep Bayern vs LvG Bayern

The last time LvG coached at clubside, he coached Man Utd for 2 seasons and spent almost $400M only made top 4 once in 2 seasons as he finished 4th and 5th before he was sacked. At Bayern also LvG was sacked mid season when Bayern was struggling to make top 4

In Peps career he has never finished 4th in a league campaign
Maybe you need to revisit the genesis of this discourse before making your submission.

No one was comparing LvG and Pep.

Popizaino said he looks forward to seeing LvG vs Pep as both of them are well known possesion based coaches.

My first response is this

timbros:
Make sure Van Gaal will have a point and kill £1B squad too. Just so the match up will be even.
Pep is coaching Man City now. Where is LvG coaching? Holland NT. How do you think the match will look like?

Who were the point and kill at Bayern?

Who were the point and kill at Barcelona?

Both Pep and LVG coached both teams and had possesion
Did you see ...especially Man City... and ...current club... in my comment?

The man at Leeds city didn't need point and kill squad before he could match pep Guardiola in possession,man city before pep Guardiola were already pointing and killing and van Gaal still bossed them in possession with his man United side,so look for other excuse.

We might keep going around in circles if you keep bringing this point about spending. Pep Guardiola and van Gaal philosophy are both possession oriented by default and that's is why the former at Barcelona, didn't buy the best legs to give him the possession he is so obsessed about neither did he buy the best legs at Bayern to give him the larger share of possession. Even his first season at Manchester city,when the squad wasn't entirely his,didn't he still maintained the philosophy of possession? Dont reduce pep Guardiola's default mode to money.
Bayern Munich and Man City have academy players of different levels... U23, U18 etc

If Pep could use academy products in Barcelona to achieve his possession based football, why didn't he replicate that in this other two clubs, especially Man City? Why is he spending as much as he has in his current club?

@bolded..... Remind me again how his first season ended.

This thing is not hard now unless you looking for argument were there is none

If Mourinho is not a possession based coach even with his expensive squad then why should pep's obsession with possession suddenly be about how much he spent ?
Pep literally bought the best legs to give him the possession based football he craves. They didn't come cheap. Factor in his hire and fire kind of approach where he buys and dumps players anyhow.

There is no way van Gaal will stand him if the playing field isn't level.

popizaino:
Possession doesn't have anything to do with an expensive squad. Mourinho has always had expensive squads and we know how they love to cede possession to their opponents even the less expensive ones.


By the way,Who did he point and kill when he was having the larger share of possession at Barcelona?
Pep have spent around £1B to get the kind of players that will play the kind of football he wants. So yes, Pep's possession football is expensive.

Mourinho is not a possession based coach so even if his squad is the most expensive, he will still cede possession because its not his brand of football. Stop the apple/orange comparison.

Is Pep Barcelona's coach? Is it Pep's Barca vs van Gaal the match you look forward to see in your initial post?

It's too much

Lukaku had more GA (which translates to more FPL points) and only got £11.5m


Anyway, I'm getting him still. No more pen for Bruno
My exact thoughts.

Bruno without penalties is Jonjo Shelvey cheesy
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Nairaland Fantasy Premier League 2021/22 by timbros(m): 1:06pm On Aug 31, 2021

At this point, he cannot even be compared to Kane or Lukaku unless there is a 360 degree turn in his personal life the only type Apostle Suleiman or correct Jujuman like Segedinho or ebukacute can do

Sold Ronaldo for €90m and buying him back for €28m after winning 4 more ballon d'ors.

Someone sold Mark Henry (lukaku) for €27m and bought him back for €116m cos his first touch has improved



Copied
SMH...

Mark Henry (Lukaku) was sold to a club who sold him to another club who sold him to yet another club before Chelsea signed him back 7 years later. €115m minus €27m equals €89m (the amount for this trolling.)

Meanwhile the club who pulled this Ronaldo "masterclass" was the same club who let Pogba leave for free literally, only to sign him just 4 years later from the same club for a world record fee of €105m!

Who is the real maga here?

You no go analyse well, you go just rush copy post come paste here in the name of trolling.
