Uh....

Pep :" I want Neymar"

Bayern: "These South Americans rarely adapt to Germany, but I'll tell you what, we'll sign a player who we think is just as good: Goetze."

3 years later Bayern must be regretting this..

Pls.

You really think Bayern could have gotten Neymar, but didn't try? Laughing

by Doc Sun Feb 07, 2016 12:50 am

BC also didn't take into consideration that perhaps Neymar didn't wanna play in Germany.

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Feb 07, 2016 1:25 am

The point being that they didn't "accommodate his every desire" as matthaus stated

"Pep will be whatever he wants to be," Alves told ESPN.

"He is like Neymar. They have such a capacity to reinvent themselves and a dedication to studying things. Obviously he has a gift, the gift of management. It has not gone bad where he has gone, and won't go bad this time.

"He left for Bayern, but I don't believe he liked it so much. He likes to revolutionise everything from the start. There he did not have that possibility, but he will now at City.

"He likes challenges - everybody else should get ready."

by Donuts Sun Feb 07, 2016 9:41 pm

even IF the wage thing is true do you really think our board wouldn't illegally give his dad the money he will ask for?
i mean after everything we've gone through to get him you think he'll do nothing to keep him here? lol

Sergio Busquets has added fuel to the fire regarding rumors that Pep Guardiola could sign the Barcelona anchorman for Manchester City.

"I always said that there are only two people who can change my decision to play for Barcelona," Busquets told ESPN.

"One is my wife and the other is Guardiola. It’s clear that I have a big debt with him and it would be an honor to work with him again. But he knows that my club is Barcelona, I don't think he'll ask me to work for him."

Jose Mourinho, meanwhile, has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, which would reignite the bitter rivalry between the Portuguese and soon-to-be City coach Guardiola.

But while the prospect of a renewal of an old rivalry is exciting for some, Busquets does not remember Mourinho's spell with Real Madrid fondly.

"My memories of Mourinho are negative," he added. "Those Real Madrid - Barcelona [fights] were bad for football, for us and for Spanish national team."

I think there is a better chance of Neymar going then Busquets.

by LeSwagg James Tue Feb 09, 2016 9:36 pm

He's basically saying that he would leave if Pep came calling.. He's as good as gone Laughing

by Donuts Tue Feb 09, 2016 9:55 pm

papers fail to leave out important pieces just to suit the title lol
he'd like to retire at barca, if he'd ever leave it'd be to work with pep

by Myesyats Wed Feb 10, 2016 8:26 am

No, that's just goal.com leaving out the most important quoted. Busi said he wants to have most games in Barcelona history.

by farfan Wed Feb 10, 2016 10:55 am

Can't wait for the " best DM ever!!! " to get exposed for the unathletic , scrawny sissy that he is when he no longer has the five piece attacking / pressing machine in front of him . Proud

WC 2014 all over again .

by Myesyats Wed Feb 10, 2016 12:13 pm

Yeah Busquets was exposed at that WC lol? Entire team was crap but he got exposed.

Mandril fan logic. You wish you had such an intelligent player that you raised and taught by yourself...

Instead you have a bunch of money hoes who get owned by that sissy Laughing

See , that's Barça fan logic . hmm

You have no problem with individually crediting Busquets with STOMPING PSG's midfield in the CL or WRECKING Madrid's attacks in the classico . ... But Chile and the Netherlands running a train through that Spain midfield ? he obviously had nothing to do with that . :coffee:

by Myesyats Wed Feb 10, 2016 12:28 pm

I have every right to say that, having seen both Busquets less Barça and Barca with him on the pitch.

He makes that much of a difference.

Spain failing to do well can't be blamed solely on him though. Of course he's no alpha and omega, he needs to be covered as well... That team didn't function as a whole, not only the midfield. Tactics play a big role too.

by farfan Wed Feb 10, 2016 12:36 pm

I don't think he's a bad player at all , my post was mostly hyperbole and typical GL exaggeration .
I genuinely believe that he's an important piece in a well oiled machine , but I wouldn't put him in the same bracket as the likes of Makélélé or prime Essien .
So that whole " all time great " DM talk is offensive to my ears . hmm

'Guardiola has great experience and an immense philosophy of football,' Pogba told Sky Sports Deutschland. 'He is a coach who influences the squad and all the players respect him.

'You can only admire and try to learn something from him. He is an icon of football and I've heard he manages to improve every player he has at his disposal.

'I am a Juventus player now, but clearly the possibility of working with him in future could develop.'

Being disrespectful towards Juve according to some on the forum with this line.

by CBarca Fri Feb 19, 2016 9:25 pm

Typical arrogant Juventus players, think they can go wherever they want.

Absolutely no respect shown to Pep, Manchester City, or Juventus here by Pogba.
