Pep has never built a team and I think thats why he came to City City already had a very good base though, yes some of the players are aging but every manager would have liked to have Hart, Silva, De Bryne, Augero, Sterling etc in their squad. It's not like he's joined Southampton. He's joined the club with the richest owners in the PL.

When you have a poster who thinks a coach who is lauded by almost every coach on the planet for his match preparation and eye for detailing actually suggesting his pre match team talks consist of "attack, pass and press." Then really, what hope for intelligent debate exists? I'll quickly leave you with this to ponder. The Barcelona team he inherited lost to Man Utd in a CL semi finals without scoring a goal over 2 legs and finished 3rd in La Liga, behind Real Madrid and Villareal, 18 points behind Real Madrid. Never let history be rewritten.

Pep has never built a team and I think thats why he came to City i would agree with that totally but its very rare for any modern manager to build the team anymore as all the big teams have the money to buy who they want. i think pep and jose have never really built a team, they have already had very good squads when they got there. maybe jose at porto did but tbh im too sure about it but with jose he has always been great at adding the finishing touches to make a squad great.
