Incoming Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola says he is already planning transfer moves at The Etihad.

Indeed, it was the sort of win that identifies champions as Pellegrini, still seeking to bow out fancifully with triumphs in four separate competitions, could reflect on a 65th victory in his 100th league match.
But Guardiola wants veteran Kidd, 66, to stay on, according to the Daily Telegraph. “But if we want to play in defending, I think it is easy to do it and I think tonight we demonstrated it”.
What a coup this is for the Premier League by the way – Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in England together, it should be brilliant.
But the idea of the club allowing their hottest young prospect to depart is highly unlikely.
‘It’s the club’s decision that Manuel won’t carry on next season, therefore it has been worked together with him, so he has enough time to sort himself out, and next season is next season.
With David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne amongst the Manchester City first XI, it will not be an unsual sight to see Manchester City weaving pretty patterns in a possession-dominating style next season. “What I can say about him is his teams play unbelievable football”. We have got however many games left in the league, we are in all competitions.
Seluk has made no secret of his disdain for Guardiola in the past, claiming he lacked “balls” after leaving Barca in 2012, as well as claiming his grandfather would have won the same trophies as the former Spain worldwide at Camp Nou and with current club Bayern Munich. “We didn’t have anything on the playing side but top man, top manager, what an acquisition for City”.
He said: “There will be a stage where, when we get to single figures, we might have to be looking at what we have looked at for many years, where we have to string three or four wins together. Right now in Germany, he is held in very high esteem”.
“I held talks with the club for the first time in May or June”, he said. I prefer to finish (by announcing) today – that is why I have told the press and told the players.

“I admire his approach to the game, he is a well balanced manager and respect him without knowing him”.
