  • He rebuilt Barcelona in his image from the Rijkaard era.

    Got rid of Zambrotta, Ronaldinho, Edmilson, Dos Santos and Deco, Marquez, Henry, Eto'o
    Signed Pique, Alba, Villa, Alves, Mascherano, promoted Busquets, Pedro and Thiago, Fabregas, Sanchez. He made space for Messi in the team.

    He bought a few lemons Chygrinksy, Caceres and Ibra. This Man City team is in much worse shape though. He was silly to not buy at least two more defenders but he might have thought Kompany would play more games

  • Pep is a coach, not a manager. He'll put his wishlist in and the DoF will try to sign them. I wouldn't go as far as to say that Barcelona's lemons are due to him. There's a committee that is responsible for it.

    Blame Txiki if you want to blame someone.

  • Pep is a coach

    But not a tackling coach

  • What I'm saying is, he didn't just walk into the Barca post and have the team he wanted - he did put most of it together over time.
