    Only Alves, Pique and Xabi Alonso are undeserved there, IMO.

    Yes , for me ....

    What changes you want to do ?

  5. Assuming the same 4-3-3 formation:

    Iker Casillas (Real Madrid)
    Ashley Cole (Chelsea)
    Gerard Pique (Barcelona)
    Vincent Kompany (Manchester City)
    Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)
    Xavi (Barcelona)
    Juan Mata (Chelsea)
    Andreas Iniesta (Barcelona)
    Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)
    Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid)
    Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

    I think midfielders have had an exceptional year. You could easily drop a forward (Falcao) in place of an extra midfielder. But those three changes are what I'd make, I think. Kompany definitely deserves to be in there.

    Not long until UEFA announce their team.

    Maybe Kompany but not Mata for me ....he is just now playing good , the last 2/3 months
  7. Guardiola set to take over at Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
  8. Just until Sir Alex calls it a day and then he will swop the delights of Munich for capital city of world football - Manchester!

    Are Guardiola and Ronaldo compatible?

    To be honest, I only see two successors to Fergie - Guardiola and Mourinho. I think most United fans would prefer long term stability over short-term success. Guardiola can probably offer that more than Mourinho. Will the next manager see out his career at Old Trafford like Fergie has? Probably not, but I'd like to think that the decade following Fergie's retirement will be far from like the past ten years of Chelsea.

    It'll be interesting to see how Bayern play under Guardiola.
  10. i don't think you can trust more on Guardiola about long term stability if you mean remaining in the club for long
  11. Mourinho is less likely to need a break after four years.
  12. Guardiola didn't last more at Barcelona .. winning .. what if he doesn't win anything after lets say a couple of years?
