magic weeds 446 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 He wanted a year out, right? Don't see it happening.though he said if a team seduces him, he will be couching as early as next month, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VilBo 10 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Guardiola would be Villas-Boas mk2. High defensive line, which would be exploited like it was this season. Don't want him here at all, Would rather have Di Matteo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want him here at all, Would rather have Di Matteo.Villas-Boas was all talk, he said the right things but did not know how to put them into practise. He was a very good actor. I wouldn't compare Guardiola to somebody like AVB, he deserves more respect than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Last week Eddie Newton said Chelsea haven't spoken to them since Champions League final....Because they're on holiday. Theres no rush. The board should be taking their time to assess what's best for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic weeds 446 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 ...and we dont expect them (Eddie n RDM) to come out in public and reveal whats goin on behind the scene. i think thy would be cautious in what they say to journos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't compare Guardiola to somebody like AVB, he deserves more respect than that.I agree that Guardiola is superior to AVB, but the tactics he will implement will be near enough the same, high defensive line, constant pressing, short distribution by the goalkeeper, etc... I just think he will be a massive failure he he comes here. It will be interesting if he does join us, would love to see how he would adapt to premier league football. He would need to be much more tactically versitile than he was at Barca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 What's he going to do if someone like Switzerland decide to park 2 banks of 4 in front of goal?Because we've never ever struggled against teams playing that way under any of our previous coaches.....

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 If he does come here I hope he doesn't bring that Disgraceful attitude he instilled into Barcelona. Diving, play-acting, crowding the referee, corruption etc. We don't want to be like UEFAlona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,946 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is a tricky one because you have to recognize Pep's creation of one of the best teams to have ever graced football but at the same time you don't want him to try and bring a high line, one trick pony tactics to the Premiership ! hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinblue 27 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 if RDM doesn't get it don't be at all surprised to see Laurent Blanc getting it.......seems to have turned France around and gotten the players together again.......heard his contract up at end of Euros....think he would be better suited to prem lge than Pep....

gary gordon 1,777 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I hope you weren't bundling me with him. I wasn't agreeing, I was just pointing out what an enormous overhaul would be needed.Nah mate, your one of the smarter blokes on here.

themightyblue 443 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Why do we automatically assume he'd come and do a high line? Pep is much more intelligent than Avb and not as naive, he'd be the first to realise that wouldn't work here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make the club suit your philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't AVB's high-line that lost us games, it was the failure to implement the whole package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
