Just for fun here, if indeed Guardiola does take over how do you think he would line up the team (with the inclusion of Azpilicueta, Wallace, De Bruyne and moses). This is what I think he's starting 11 would be, in the Barcelona formation.
----------------------------Cech-----------------------------------
-Azpilicueta----Luiz-----------Terry-----------Cole-------
--------------------------Romeu------------------------------
---------------Oscar-----------------------------------------
--------------------------------Mata------------------------
---Moses------------Hazard--------------Marin---
The question is; Do you think that team will be balanced enough to win big games and trophies?.
Ps: State your team if it differs to mine...
Guardiola team

Has Di Matteo only been given 12 months or something?

Hmm, I guess Pride was right.
You said the system wont be implemented at Chelsea. I said whats stopping Pep? You said we dont have Messi.

I actually said that in my first comment. How many teams are successful in using that system? Do you think we have players on par to be successful? Do you know how to debate without trying to insult another poster?
I think I'm actually done with you.

Where was the insult? Your point was ridiculous in the first place.
For one. Athletic Bilbao use a similar system to Barcelona. Not quite the same but similar. Do they have Messi?
Porto used a similar type system in AVB's last season. Do they have Messi?

BK, do you really think Guardiola would rather play a defensive minded Ivanovic ahead of Azpilicueta?? I doubt that, he most certainly prefers offensive fullbacks

Spain use the same system and won euros again without messi

Azpilicueta is in my team, Barce played 3-4-3 towards the end of Guardiola's reign

Didier Dave - The most obvious example and I missed it. Just proves my point even more.

We should just sign Messi anyway. For fun
