Guardiola said: “Since I have been Manchester City manager and we have been together, Joe has been ideal. The performance against Sunderland was far from ideal”, added Seluk.

Steaua Bucharest boss Laurentiu Reghecampf believes he can get the better of the world’s best coach to secure Champions League qualification at Manchester City’s expense.
Caballero featured just three times for City in the league last season but was an ever-present in their winning League Cup campaign.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach said he would sooner take “two young guys” – -defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Angelino – to Bucharest than Toure when the Ivory Coast midfielder, also omitted against Sunderland on Saturday, is not yet in a position to play with the intensity he -demands. So yes, I see him here, no doubts for the next two years, ” Mourinho said.
Pep Guardiola is understood to be on the lookout for a new goalkeeper after dropping Joe Hart for Saturday’s opening day Premier League clash with Sunderland.
The 34-year-old Swedish forward joined the 20-time English champions at the start of July and marked his league debut with a superb goal against Bournemouth. Caballero’s passing statistics weren’t terrific – his pass accuracy was just 73 percent – but his most crucial stat was no goals conceded.
Once the request was handed out, Guardiola instantly asked the City board to make the deal happen, and it is now done. The former Liverpool forward was fast, confident and very risky as he tore into Steaua’s ramshackle defence.
He also provided an assist for the second with a cushioned touch into the path of Aguero for the Argentine’s neat finish. So now because we maybe know I’m a little bit right.
Reghecampf will pit his wits against Pep Guardiola, a two-time victor of the competition with Barcelona, as the Spaniard brings his new team to the Romanian capital for the first leg of a crucial play-off.
