I never liked him as a RB. As a CB though, him and Dante(who they only bought for 6.5m) are the best pairing in the world. Boateng + Kompany would be every better. :(
Mancini was very impatient with players. The only player he showed some patience with was Balo and even then dude berated that nicca on a regular basis :heh:

Mandzukic showing up this strikerless stuff Pep is trying. The possession game Bayern were playing looks like Barca last season with their sterile possession.

Heynckes possession football >>>>> Peps.


The amount of times I've only seen 1-2 players in the box for Bayern when they in wide areas compared to last season is :scusthov:

This whole BEASTIAN, Thiago & Kroos as a midfield 3 is ::ld:

:rudy:

Its got nothing to do with Pep not having Messi. Even when he had Messi, Barca were having the same problems that Bayern have shown in pre-season. They over playin and lacking penetration that Bayern had last season and hes playin players out of position, like he did in his latter days of Barca. The reason why he started tika taka was because Barca were shyt at defending, Bayern arent that shyt and are far more athletic than Barca were. THe only Messi problem was when he made Barca's style too Messicentric.

he only knows how to coach one way. After bayern's success last season it's foolhardy to take over and implement a new system from the jump. Muller playing in Messi's role? :scusthov:

:ohhh: Steauas owner blocked Vlad Chiriches transfer from prison :laff:


Tottenham Hotspur had a deal in place to transfer center back Vlad Chiriches from Romanian club Steaua Bucuresti to the Premier League. But then Steaua Bucuresti owner Gigi Becali was granted his one-a-day phone call from jail, and everything went to shyt.

Becali, a Romanian businessman and politician, was sentence to three years in prison in May for abusing the country's land exchange system. ESPN reports that he's doing his time in Bucharest's Rahova jail, where he recently found out Spurs and Steaua Bucuresti had agreed a £6 million fee for Chiriches. Steaua Bucruesti have a Champions League qualifying round match against Dinamo Tbilisi on August 6, so Becali wasn't having that.

"Who are Tottenham?!" a local newspaper reports him saying. "Do not do any transfer, my name is Gigi Becali! I'm not a slave to anybody! We have an important game in the Champions League, why can't they wait?

"Until winter he will not leave under any circumstances. This could be a blow to Chiriches, but he should understand. He owes a lot to Steaua. Things are good, we are in qualifying for the Champions League. We are in good shape."

Spurs have since pulled their bid for Chiriches.
