ah yes, what would a derby be without some juicy rumours. Guardiola with a well-timed bombshell in response to Raiolas bitching ... now all we need is a response from Jose and the asshat-trifecta is complete.

Quote:
Pep Guardiola has sensationally revealed he was offered the chance to buy Paul Pogba in January. The Manchester City manager claims super agent Mino Raiola sounded out the Premier League leaders over a double deal for Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Raiola has a long-standing feud with Guardiola - dating back to his time managing Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Barcelona. The agent described him as “a coward, a dog” in an interview with Dutch magazine Quote last month. Responding ahead of City’s showdown with United, Guardiola said: “Two months ago he offered me Mkhitaryan and Pogba to play with us. Why did he offer? He was interested in Mkhitaryan and Pogba playing with us? So he has to protect his players and he cannot bring the players to a guy like me, like a dog. I said no. We don’t have enough money to buy Pogba because he is so expensive.”
