Gbayi. See klopp, he didn't spend any money this season even sold some dead woods but Pep bought a 50mill player but we can see who's playing better

OTAMENDI IMPROVEMENT KEY TO 2017-18 SUCCESS

But it was perhaps his passing quality that was most impressive, and particularly pleasing for Guardiola, whose work on the training ground has clearly had a seismic effect on the Argentine. Otamendi, not a natural ball-playing centre-half, added a new dimension to his game last season, proving adept at bringing the ball out of defence and starting attacks with passes into space.

It was a remarkable transformation. The player we saw the previous season rarely stepped into midfield and played on the front foot, playing the ball between the lines to begin attacking moves. Now he does it regularly.

By the way, Klopp has spent a fortune on players.

charlesemeka85:
rivaldo left barca 2002 for milan

andrewbaba44:


And ronaldinho arrived 03?

Then rivaldo was the best before ronadinho arrived

Danielnino00:


How much did he sign Jao Cancelo for again ?



I read somewhere that he is planning to offload him already...

charlesemeka85:

i doubt you know his history right from mainz in the german 2nd tier to dortmund. what was dortmund's pedigree before kloop joined them?

TheGoodJoe:


He has good pedigree with young players but when it came to the EPL, Klopp had to spend a fortune to compete.

andrewbaba44:


But barcelona have always don well in the champions league nah

As bad as velverde the clown usually makes the semi final and then fumble

Give me a reason why barca should not win last season champions league, even you yourself didnt believe

But you guys said the same thing about ronaldinho nah

Take a look at these players that have played for barcelona

Rivaldo, ronaldo de lima, neymar, ronaldinho

What makes you think we wont get more

andrewbaba44:


Klopp has spent almost 450 or so

TheGoodJoe:


He has good pedigree with young players but when it came to the EPL, Klopp had to spend a fortune to compete.

TheGoodJoe:


To some, he is only using players from the Academy.

charlesemeka85:
yes of course but it took him time to start spending. who are the most expensive players in liverpool team bought by kloop? how many players have pep graduated from man city's academy to the first team since he took over?

andrewbaba44:


Lol

£75,000,000 van dijk

£52,500,000 naby keita

I was thinking its only pep that buy players for such amount

charlesemeka85:
he spent in the areas that needed to be fortified which is the central defense and goalkeeping position which is the reason they have to spend big to solve the major issue in the team by bringing in alisson and van dijk.

since the signing of van dijk and alisson do liverpool concede useless goals anymore? they made it to 2 ucl finals,won one which was followed by the uefa super cup,world club cup and on the verge of taking the epl trophy to anfield. those these success not justifying the amount he has spent?

i remember when jose joined inter and won the league that season with the italian cup, inter supremo then morrati met him and told him that his target next season is to bring the ucl title to san siro which jose requested for that to be achieved he should be furnished will 100 euros to sign few players which was given to him and the rest is history till date.

etoo was once asked between jose and pep who is a better coach and replied the interviewer that "one won the champions league with porto while the other couldn't win it with bayern"

andrewbaba44:


It took him time to start spending thats why it also took him time to win a major trophy

Its simple and clear

Na only arsenal wenger go claim saint here

Even your man united self don spend more than liverpool self from van gaal time till now

andrewbaba44:


So guardiola didnt spend in where is needed to be fortified abi?

So you expected dead woods zabaleta ,clichy and co to continue playing for city abi so dem go win league?

Clap for your self ooo

charlesemeka85:
yes of course to the bolded and the board regrets those signing till date which is the reason they are focused on bringing in young talented player mainly from around britain to rebuild the team. with the amount of money pep sinked in bringing players to man city he would have atleast won 1 ucl title.

you wont spend millions in pounds just to win the epl with a team where the likes of mancini and pelegrini achieved the same feat

charlesemeka85:
he did and what happened? a less fancied spurs made it to the ucl finals with a budget not close to that of man city. stop being blind and accept the fact. what about monaco that disgraced city and pep out of the same competition few seasons ago?

kloop is a better coach and manager to me than pep

TheGoodJoe:


Guardiola spent to replace aging players too. Etoo can talk rubbish but it does not change the fact Guardiola transformed football forever.

From Spain, Germany to England, you see his influence on a lot of teams and managers.

andrewbaba44:


But a less fancy spurs didnt win the ucl nah, na who win cup we know ooo


Pochetino remains a coach with no achievement

Yes monaco disgraced city but that doesnt change the fact that pep has 2 ucl medals to his name and you cant remove it

charlesemeka85:
i never said pep is not a good coach, please do not quote me out of context. and mind you pep is not the inventor of tiki taka/total football style of play . it originated from the dutch and mastered by great tacticians out of the same country. that is the same style a lot of renowned tacticians from the Netherlands during his coaching career. louis van gaal was a master to the tactics

andrewbaba44:


Uncle only Leicester city is innocent here okay in terms of winning the epl without spending

charlesemeka85:
and pep wouldn't have achieved anything if he coached spurs. i bet you that if poch had the calibre of players and the finances at pep's possession in city he would have won the epl more than once. andrew you know nothing about football

andrewbaba44:


I support you at the bolded

You are not one of them on this thread, i know all of them

Thou i am stating my points sha

charlesemeka85:
city's hierarchy wants the ucl not epl which is the major reason pep was signed

charlesemeka85:
all i am trying to say is that pep will find it very difficult in a team with low budget and finances.

andrewbaba44:


Why dont you allow him to coach spurs first?

Even gernot rohr have achieved more than pochettino

Pochetino got the chance to win the epl during Leicester city time but he failed

Na when pep and klopp come e go come win abi or even conte?

charlesemeka85:
you well at all? was spurs the only the team in the epl that season? poch did a great job at spurs by putting them in the map of big teams in the epl currently.

do you know spurs management are the most difficult to work with in terms of funding a coach to bring in players? do you know spurs players are among the least paid players when ranked with the top teams currently in the epl?
