Witnessed THAT Mueller goal just now. Wanted to create this PREDO thread immediately. I am one of the Pep doubters - He had THAT Barca in 2 team league & THIS Bayern in 1 team league. Huge step up to EPL with 4 or 5 team league. Unless Pep brings in 4 or 5 first team world class players with 300M+ expenditure, I don't see him finishing top 2 in the league. I am not sure, how city finances work with the financial fair play & s#!t. Especially with Jose leading the Money bags - he can go toe to toe with Pep in the Market even without the CL. Bringing 4 or 5 first team world class players in 1 season isn't easy. So I give Top 4 for Pep. Which itself will be a huge achievement for him due to the massive step up. What do you think?
He has too many good players already at £ity not to get top 4; and we all know he's going to bring in two or three World Class names, who may or may not gell immediately. Not to make top 4 would be a failure, for which he ought to be sacked. Can't see it happening, though. Indeed, I'd put money on him winning the title in his first season before I bet on him finishing outside the top 4.
One thing's for sure is that he's gonna be shocked when he realises half the league won't roll over him for 6 points every season.
