Pep Guardiola: I feel like a woman

Pep Guardiola says he will have no bother combining his duties to Bayern Munich and Manchester City in the coming months, seeing as he is good at mnulti-tasking.

If Manchester United can trigger that amount, Manchester City are not short on finances either.

Despite Guardiola’s formidable record as a coach, Smalling isn’t too anxious about Manchester United losing their traditional stranglehold over their local rivals.

Paris St-Germain midfielder Ezequiel Lavezzi, 30, is set to turn down Chelsea and join Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.

“I truly wanted to play for River, you know”.

Former Barcelona forward Ronaldinho believes City are capable of landing the player in a financial sense, but went on to advise his fellow countryman to stay at Camp Nou for the foreseeable future.

Neymar has been the subject of intense transfer speculation that he will move to Real Madrid.

“Neymar has already stated his desire to play for Pep”, Ronaldinho said.

Chris Smalling says he doesn’t care about Pep Guardiola taking over at Manchester City but does welcome the best coaches working in the Premier League. The 35 year old Brazilian believes that Pep Guardiola could be a big factor in luring Neymar to England, while also opining that rumours of a move to Real Madrid are false. Ronaldinho agrees with that sentiment, saying “We know they can pay wages that no other club in Europe has the power to do”.

Guardiola, who won back-to-back German league titles with Bayern and is on course for a third after joining in 2013, agreed a three-year contract with City this week and will begin work ahead of next season.
