Thanks mamagee

Oahray: (1) He is going to a league having as a main rival Dortmund which beat champions of Spain and England to top their group and you are talking about fear of challenge. I hope say you well sha. EPL is just a league with mediocre teams, their being competitive has nothing to do with quality, its cos their best teams are not exactly exceptional. The UCL of recent confirms this.

(2) About your question, ask yourself, how many EPL teams can beat Barca or Madrid?

(3) How can Guardiola go to Arsenal when Wenger isnt leaving? Abi dem go share the coaching job? Think twice before you comment.

Walahi you get time oh? Schoolin these special needs kids. Maybe he should go to QPR and prove himself! The same Barca that where on the downward slide when Pep took over is what they are calling a ready made team

@Dayokanu
Krayola sef talk am! Try ignore them ignoramuses! Well na charity work you dey do sha its allowed

Its not that but you sef read the idiotic comments your comrades have been excretin on this thread
Ducking Mourinho running from Chelsea and other kinds of fuckery! Is there a rule that says he must come to the EPL?
If Mancini could win the EPL then what is so difficult about it that Pep can't?

Absolutely spot on.
For crying out loud, the 4 major domestic leagues in Europe are the EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga and Seria A. Any coach that wins in any of those leagues is very good, in my opinion.

Wenger won the double in his 2nd season
Mourinho won the EPL 1st and 2nd season
Ancellotti won the double in his 1st season
Mancini won the FA Cup in his first full season won the league in his 2nd full season

It would take an absolute nimrod to assume the EPL is the most difficult or challenging to win

Qualcoms: For the house, for Pep to embrace Bayern is neva a surprise to me... I dn't bliv in wat pep can do if he was to build a club... He is always lukin 4 an adaptable place where he wil apply dos tactics n wil chop d oda clubs off brainwashing d league dat he's d best coach eva? Na big lie... He knw Premier League wil neva b a place to laf at al... N knw very soon mourinho wil join... But he said he wil be managing at Epl? Big Lie... He luks 4 an managable club where he wil just buy few players to d club n win trophies... Abi out of d many players he bought at Barca, aw many of dem r playing distinguished n fantastic futbal... Abi na hin sign messi? No wanda he signed 3yrs... Luking 4 a place to win league n run comot. He fears premier league... Nobody wan enta lion's den.

At 1st i didn't want to comment on this topic, but i couldn't resist it looking at this balderdash you posted. Your views are at best myopic and very parochial. People like you do not know anything about football, all you do is watch the English premiership only, and then make judgments without thinking outside your small box for once. I love football and i watch all leagues, and believe you me the power and competition in football is now shifting to the German league. Listen, you really need to take out time to watch the German league, please i don't mean watching only highlights or reading from complete sports paper..........How many English teams made the 2nd round this time??You are 1 of those brain-washed by the hype from the British Media where players are over praised out of their capabilities........Guy please do yourself a favor by watching other leagues so that you would be able to see things from the objective side of an intelligent person.........thanks

Al dis pple suddenly hyping d german league baffle my imagination. Come to think of it, how many of u would spend ur hard earned money and go sit in a viewing centre or take 90min out of ur time to watch a bundgesliga match at home. Truth b told d EPL and d bundgesliga aint on d same par. When chelsea was full of shit and languishing at 6th place in d league they still won d champ league on german soil. I know some people would start saying chelsea were lucky, well that's a discussion for another day. Ask ur self, how many german teams besides bayern are seeded first during d champions league draws, or u tink the strength of a league don't come into play when teams are seeded? U can rightly say that d Bundgesliga has produced different league winners in d past couple of yrs so also d nigerian league. How many league challenge can go down d wire even to d last minute of d season like we saw in d EPL last season? I don't hav anything against Pep for subbing d epl but let's not start comparing d EPL to d bundgesliga d EPL is way more competitive. Why do u think Pep still hope he coaches there sometime in d future??

so unpredictable...u were the best .hope u maintain it sha..

Guardiola joins FC Hollywood, and all of a sudden the Bundesliga is the best league the world over!

Some nimrods are even claiming they've been watching the Bundesliga since the days Gerd Muller!

dayokanu: Pep has moved to the best club in Europe.

The club that plays a similar style to Barcelona.

Bayern munich is the second club in Europe after barcelona that dominates possesion

Bayern is the second club among top clubs with the highest number of home grown Talent

Bayern is one of the most financially stable clubs in Europe

Bayern doesnt have a sugardaddy or Oil shiek who can hire and fire as they choose

Pep choose progress, he chose stability he chose quality football

PEP CHOSE BAYERN MUNICH

Bayern Uber Allezz

To me you have said it all, you are very correct.................lop

Pep has gone to Bayern. His most difficult challenge? Teaching Robben how to kick the ball at his teammate and making him call it a pass

cheleku:

He chose this, he chose that ...........But one thing becomes apperent; Pep is a coward. He decided against Chelsea and Man city that were willing to do anything for his services simply becouse he was afraid of the challenges those clubs might pose. Of course we all know what happens to non performing managers at Chelsea. Look at what Mou did in 2010. He left a perfect inter team which he built himself and opted to take the Madrid job (a poisoned chalice if I may say) that pitched him against the almighty Barcelona, and after two seasons was able to win the la liga, a seemingly impossible feat hirtherto.
Again, Pep's antecedents show he's a coward; he hastily took a sabbatical leave after losing the la liga to madrid in 2012. Secondly, if you are privy to what went on during the brief period Zlatan stayed at barca you'd agree he (pep) is a coward. Infact, zlatan called him a coward severally.
And now the coward has gone to an 'all ready made club' where he would'nt have much of a test to pass.

you want him to go to chelsea, is he a bus driver?

logical but not conclusive

Samchelsea: don't mind him, he claimed to be the best coach yet he runs away from the big challenge of the EPL

I wud have said ds! I tink Guardiola is a coward. He knew dat no mata d odd Bayern wl always find themselves fytin 4d Bundesliga title, nd wl only suffer sum modest defeats, cmpare to d EPL.
9ce tactics by hm!

Toktee: What a myopic fellow,who told you that epl iz better than laliga,his type is not easy to comeby

What wil u nw say abt Vilanova? Hes nw led d club to its best league start in history... Won 18 nd drawn 1.

Metallurgist: Mia san mia(we are who we are) Bayern i hail thee, the best club in term of financial stability, management and general well being, second only to barcelona on squad dept and tactical play, huge home grown talent, fantastic football philosopy, and playing in most watch league(in term of filling stadiums) in europe what more those a building coach like pep wants more than that,

Oya, list five of their recent home grown talent.... Gustave, Lahm, Kroos, Neuer, Alaba, Gomez, Robben, Ribery, Bastian? U gotta be kiddin me.

Maybe we should ask in the Champions league how many German clubs topped their groups and How many EPL clubs topped their group?

Dortmund comprehensive beat EPL champions.

Schalke humiliated Arsenal at home, Schalke that hasnt won the Bundesliga in over 50yrs

The EPL went to the last game last season, Do you want us to count how many times EPL was already decided in March? and compare to the number of times Bundesliga was decided on the last day?

I know many Nigerians have this herd mentality and cant see beyond their nose thats why they think EPL is all that

If bayern were to play the EPL it would become a one team league as they would even be more dominant than Man Utd

EmmyDe25:

In Bayerns starting 11.

Lahm, Schweinisteiger, Alaba, Muller, Kroos Badstuber

I am sure you dont know much about European football,

Prove me wrong and Mention any top team in Europe aside Barca that has more than 6 home grown talent in their first 11?

Hahaha are u see what I saw? Mind numbin ignorance

Leaving hatcreating tbig, and leaving he's cheprevious u]

And you think you know about european football?
No coach would want to work under Abramovich? You must be kidding. You'd rather say no pussyfooting coach would want to work with him. Moreover, Mancity, PSG, Milan all wanted his signature. Why didnt he go to any of these clubs? Answer that.
Mou did build that inter team. He brought in Wesley, Eto and Milito to mention a few, and we know how influential these signings proved.
Yet, he left everthing for a bigger challenge; the hallmark of a genious. Lets see how Bayern fare in the champions league nxt season.[/quote]

What bigger challenge? Moronho was sacked by chelsea and went to inter, where he luckily won some trophies. He's just an average coach with no football legacy to show the world. I have never heard anybody mention Moronho football style. He has none.

The only thing he's good at is leaving all his previous clubs in disarray. He'll soon run away from real Madrid after creating disaster and disharmony there. Useless self centered fellow with overhyped skill.

Pep Guardiola would be working under

Matthias Sammer - Ballon D Or winner in 1996

Gerd Muller - Ballon D or winner in 1970

Karlheinz Rummenigge - Ballon D Or winner in 1980 and 1981

Franz beckenbauer Ballon D or winner in 1972 and 1976

Who wouldnt choose this over other options

I think Barca is the only other team that can boast of that.

We get the gist as fergie will RETIRE afta 3yrs.
Pep 4 united soon

I think the phrase home grown is too loosely and lazily thrown around in footballing parlance these days.

Of all the players you listed here, none of them fits the adjective 'home grown' in the true sense of it (I stand to be corrected!)
I think rose through the ranks describes this lot better, no


Football today is about the big clubs with the big bucks. Everybody operates the same cycle!
You spot a gem or potential gem, you snap them up. Simples.
Clubs like Bayern do theirs early, while clubs like Chelsea do theirs late.


Except you show me a club with 6 players in their starting 11 as you postulated that were taken in when they were as young as 4,5,6,7,8 and whatever years old, or their footballing career began with, including youth career is with the said club.
Only such have legitimate claims to having 'home grown talent'.

Home grown means players who went through the youth system and academy. It doesn't have to mean you took the child from the maternity ward directly

bravo Pep, bravo!!!

Age of Bayern's homegrown talents on arrival.

Lahm 12 years old
Badstuber 13 years old
Alaba 16 years old
Schweinsteiger 14 years old
Thomas Muller 11 years old
Toni Kroos 16 years old

Average age of just under 14 years if that's not homegrown I don't know what is

Asking a club to sign a player at 4,5,6 borders on madness really. At that age do they even know what sport they want to go pro in?
