Yes, there genuinely were people saying they though He'd come here.
there were clowns ringing in talksport yesterday saying he's over rated, was lucky to be at Barcelona when they had such a good team and is only a good man manager. Clearly missing the point that to be a very top manager that is one of the key skills you need. Being ale to handle and manage multi millionaire footballers, get them working hard and playing as a unit and get the best out of them. Many good coaches and managers have failed at top clubs because they cant do that. Anyone that watches Barcelona can see that whilst they are great to watch going forward they also work very hard without the ball and play a system which allows their most talented players to be at their most effective. They were also saying what could Guardiola teach Messi to improve him, again missing the point that you made which was that he was part of what has made him what he is and plays him in a formation that gets the best out of him.
