And when he succeeds in suppressing the individual brilliance in you, and after one season he finds another shiny player in the market, he buys the player and confines you to the bench or totally frozen out of the squad for no reason... You get frustrated and want a transfer forgetting that all your individual brilliance has been coached out in favor of working in the" Guardiola system" now the system doesn't want you anymore, and you've become useless outside of it, unknown to you.
You get to a new club and you can't find your brilliance anymore, you become useless to the new team too...
Guardiola fans will now come around to laugh in your face: "I told you so! " you should have stayed on the training pitch to learn proper lessons under Lord Pep when you had the chance!!!

Hanibal:
imagine Mahrez still needs to be "refined" at this stage of his career before he can play for Lord Guardiola. Lol.
You know what I think Mahrez's number 1 problem at city is?
HE IS FROM AFRICA.

Hanibal:
So you'll advice Samu to go from being one of the first names on the team sheet to not making match day squads just so that he can "soak" in knowledge ehn
Let me add that what fans of sexy football like yourself call "football knowledge " domiciled in your beloved coaches like Guardiola, Rogers, Tuchel and the likes is actually boring to some of us... Some of us actually find Guardiola's style too scientific, too dogmatic to be exciting.
Some of us find a match where one team has 70% of the ball boring, some of us hate it when one coach buys the whole planet and win all available trophies.
Heck some us find it boring when one team wins the league with 5games to spare.
No ,we are not enemies of success or whatever you'll call it, we just love football to be competitive, breathtaking, unpredictable.
My point is not every soccer player is built to play the "Guardiola way", if a player that isn't built for Guardiola (especially when he is African) decides to sign for a Guardiola team... My brother, that will amount to career suicide.we've lost Iheanacho on the alter of Guardiola's overly scientific football, Samu doesn't need his type of knowledge to have a successful career.

TheGoodJoe:


That is what a lot of people are missing. Pep is obsessed with pace but that is when the team without the ball. Sterling, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, to some extent, David Silva work extremely hard and fast when we do not have the ball to win it back. Especially when we lose the ball at the attacking end.

Sane, even though I hate to admit it does not tell t work hard enough when we lose the ball. Even though he is gracious and fast with the ball, Guardiola wants it both ways, which in turn makes the player better.

Manchester City were not going to pay Iheanacho £70,000 a week. Leicester City were able to meet the demands. So he left.

Earthquake3:


Did Iheanacho demand 70k a week from Man city?

do4luv14:




so its no longer game time, its nah money

hmmm tell me something new

why was a buy back clause inserted in his contract

TheGoodJoe:


When Iheanacho signed for Stellar Group, it was clear his wage demands were going to go up. Stellar would not keep him with the kind of wage he earned at City. Wages played a big part in Nacho's move.

Earthquake3:


You are confusing pace with hardwork, Bernardo Silva and David Silva are hardworkers but you don't necessarily associate them with pace

Sane and Sterling are the ones blessed with pace in the team, Sterling has adjusted his play to link up with teammates while Sane hasn't, that's why Sterling is in the team and Sane isn't

Earthquake3:


You're just doing postulations

Iheanacho was 19 and not getting gametime that is a more plausible reason

TheGoodJoe:


Actually, I disagree with the comparison between Chukwueze and Mahrez. The challenge Mahrez is facing is that he does not play with pace, which has been instrumental in the success of Sterling and Bernardo Silva. To a less extent, Leroy Sane.

Pace is what Chukwueze has and if Pep refines other parts of his game, we would have a monster.

TheGoodJoe:


You think if Leicester City offered Iheanacho less money than City, he would have left for game time?

Earthquake3:


Guardiola denied Iheanacho of game time the only plausible thing was to leave

Your postulations about money are hard to believe, who would leave Man city for Leicester if they were happy there

charlesemeka85:
Anybody advising samu to join city no like the boy at all. His best bet should be to remain with Villarreal for atleast one more season and if he fancies the epl I think Liverpool will be better than scientific city lol

komekn:


To play in the Man city front line does not require the basic pace. But blistering super pace.

Mahrez is not slow and he adds superlative skill and technical ability but blistering pace not exactly.

Chukwueze is an exceptional player pace he has but super blistering pace is not an attribute l would say he has.

That's in comparison to Sane, Raheem, Gabriel in City line up.

Guardiola denied Iheanacho of game time the only plausible thing was to leave

TheGoodJoe:


Game time was one of the reasons but Leicester City were offering good money which we would not have matched.

TheGoodJoe:


We have seen Bernardo Silva flourishing without working with blistering pace but Guardiola will certainly pick him over Gabriel Jesus who is relatively faster.

TheGoodJoe:


The buy back clause was because Manchester City saw his potential and expects Nacho to move on to great things in the near future. If he makes it and they want him, they can meet his value and wage.

Earthquake3:


You are speaking with two mouths you said Guardiola was obsessed with pace but you are saying he will pick Bernardo Silva over Gabriel Jesus who is faster

TheGoodJoe:

do4luv14:



he had potentials, and they can't pay him what he wants, for him to stay



ahhh, oga Joe sorry for person nah

TheGoodJoe:


With pace but it must go two ways. When the team is with the ball and when the team is not with the ball. So when Guardiola prefers Bernardo over Sane or Gabriel, it is because of the sum total of how hard and fast Bernardo works on and off the ball.

charlesemeka85:
Guardiola is a wonderful coach buh too scientific to my liking and his style against other coaches makes football matches very boring.

TheGoodJoe:


Potential is not present but future. They saw his potential but could not match his present demand. The buy back clause is to meet the future.

Gerrit?

Earthquake3:


Can you provide link he demanded a pay rise

TheGoodJoe:


Can you provide a link Nacho was ready to turn the Leicester City deal to stay for less pay at City?
