Probably means a Moutinho deal for Spurs is on the horizon.

Not exactly an improvement but I think he'll fit in well into that midfield.

Oh yeah, I heard that last night. Transfer was 2mil, QPR got him and Fabio on season loan.

Pretty good signings for QPR imo.

They've signed solid players I expect a mid table finish.

Arsenal cancel Nigeria tour for next month. Probably due to security reasons but not too sure.

Also a rumour that Chelsea might put a bid in for Theo to test the water.

Looks legit nothing concrete though. Here's the article:

German giants Bayern Munich are in talks to sign former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola when current boss Jupp Heynckes steps down in 2013, mass circulation Bild reported on Tuesday.

Bayern's director of football Christian Nerlinger held talks in May with Guardiola's brother Pere, who is also his advisor, on the sidelines of the Spanish Cup Final, which Barcelona won 3-0, Bild said.

"The world-class manager is said to have signalled his interest," the paper wrote.

Guardiola, 41, delivered three Spanish league trophies, two Champions Leagues, two FIFA World Club Cups, two UEFA Supercups, three Spanish Supercups and two Spanish Cup victories in four years as coach at the Nou Camp.

Heynckes has a contract running until 2013. Bild said this was "perfect timing."

"Guardiola wants to take a year out to recharge his batteries and study. It's perfect timing ... he can then learn German at his leisure," said the paper, usually well informed on comings and goings at Bayern's Allianz Arena.

Guardiola is a fraud, he will get exposed.

Unless Bayern buys half the barca squad.

I don't see how he can get the Bayern squad to play to his style. Just don't see that 5hit happening

Actually Bayern plays nice football. Not on par with Barca but they can move the ball around. Guardiola just won't have the best carrying him to glory like he did at Barca.

He's a bum and I rate Mick McCarthy over him.

In what way is he a fraud?

I'm surprised if its true but I'd like to see it happen.

The German league is one of the better run leagues, if not the best run league in the world & pretty competitive from what I've seen.
