He’s just a perfect signing for Pep, can play as pure no 9 or false 9, a good passer, and clinical. Man city is the best this season in term of xG way above us, Liverpool, & Chelsea, the additional Kane would convert those xG into more goals. They might end up winning proper treble if they sign him.
 
Also did anybody else die a slow death inside when Martin Tyler tried to recreate the Agueroooo moment?
 
Changed their sponsor to gold. Such desperation.
 
Another money-doped fraudulent trophy for Man Cheaty. United came second, handicapped by GlazerScum. Good achievement by OGS and his staff and squad. Big respect to Mata today.
 
The script in all UCL finals played by Guardiola as a manager so far goes like this:

- The opposition presses high Guardiola's team and dominates the first 10 minutes, Guardiola's team struggling to create any attack play.

- Guardiola's team settles and proceeds to control and dominate the game for the remaining 80 minutes.

Do you guys think that the City vs. Chelsea final might repeat this pattern?

In 2009, United was all over Barcelona in the first 10 minutes, Barcelona was hoofing the ball and couldn't get past their own defensive third. Guardiola commented that he didn't expect United to start the game with such an aggressive and high press, Barcelona was caught off-guard. In the first time that Barcelona was able to create a good play, after 10 minutes, they scored and then proceeded to completely control the game from then on and eventually score the second goal, winning 2-0. Though it wasn't a match of Barcelona really creating many chances and steamrolling United. Guardiola said that while the team was good enough to win and be superior, he wasn't satisfied because he knew they could play far better.

2011 was another story. United hurried Barcelona in the first 10 minutes. After that, though, Barcelona settled and then truly bombarded and steamrolled United, specially in the first 25 minutes of the second half. Masterclass, Guardiola now said that his team finally had the UCL final performance of the level he wanted. An apotheosis.
 
If I was Pep, I would simply send my usual best team and say "play as we always do". A final is a moment in which is best to show full confidence in your best formation and starting XI. Guardiola never had any surprises in previous UCL finals. In a final, you simply play your best team. That's my philosophy for any final. You don't try weird and unusual line-ups in finals, that shows lack of confidence in how good your team is.
 
Q: "Is there a dynasty being set up here?"

City chairman: "Absolutely".

 
City to splash more cash this summer,

What’s new there ?
Yes I’m extremely fecking jelly
 
Manchester City has a super good team. I just have a hard time understanding that there are so many players who do not care where their money originally comes from.

It's more a statement about the country where the money comes from though really. He put a cattle prod up a man's anus, set fire to his testicles and his brother and half brother (who are very much part of man city) and those who hold power in that corrupt, cesspit of a state, didn't really care. But for a place where you can still be stoned for being homosexual why should they

I think for clubs like City, there comes a saturation point and the laws of diminishing returns kick in. No matter who or how many they sign, there will still only ever be 11 players on the pitch for them at any one time and footballers at their heart, want to play above all else.

Chelsea experienced it in 2006 when they added SWP to Robben and Duff (I know in hindsight it reads as being very silly, but at the time SWP was one of the brightest talents in the league who wasn't at a big club) or when they added Shevchenko to Drogba etc. Adding more icing sugar to the cake doesn't necessarily make it more tasty.
 
Apperently a lot of there players are being linked away. Jesus, Laporte and Sterling. Mendy they're trying to get off the books unlikely with his injuries. Gundo apperently had talks with Barcelona, Atletico offered a Saul and Berando Silva swap deal. Even Rodri has been linked all though I doubt this one happens. Fernadinho is being consider by Barca as Wijnaldum replacement, thought he signed a year deal? Maybe not.
