Lifted from another site: "Marcelo Bielsa, who is Guardiola’s idol to an extent, is currently available. He has a certain ‘weird’ philosophy that devastated Argentina in 2002 but won the respect of the world afterwards. Luis Enrique is the club’s favorite but not Rosell’s friend. Guus Hiddink just extended his contract with Anzhi Makhachkala but he is the one man who can fit anywhere in no time.
The Dutch Refuge:
Frank Rijkaard is a club hero. Ronald Koeman is a club hero, too. Marco van Basten is a legend.
The unfavorable choices:
Juan Francesc Ferrer, ‘Rubi’ – Jordi Roura – Roberto Mancini – Louis van Gaal – Roberto Di Matteo
The unrealistic coups:
Arsene Wenger – Jürgen Klopp – Andre Villas-Boas – Michael Laudrup – Johan Cruyff – Fabio Capello"
Hmmmm no Poch mentioned here!

He is a promising manager but no way is he the standard of manager barca will appoint! Big fat disagree on this rumour

Yeah I heard that down wetherspoons earlier. Gunna have ken monkou and dj hixxy as his assistants as well

Pochettino is a good manager but it is highly unlikely that Barça would actually go for someone with no experience of teams of that size. I can think of 10 managers with a lot more experience than Poch for that job. Poor rumour.

Less than 3 months after declaring his NC 'bromance' did you see the Poch walking over hot coals? You will never see Wenger, AVB, or Mancini doing that.

Mancini is avaliable, ponch isn't proven enough yet, maybe in 5-6 years time but not now. If he is being talked about then so are about a hundred other candidates

More nonsense

What experience did Pep Guardiola have?
Poch was tipped as a future Real Madrid boss, so it may be possible, but I fully expect him to stay. He's already demonstrated that he has bought into the Southampton project, and that he's extremely loyal when we had the Nicola situation at the end of the season, but if Barca came calling I expect it would be hard for him to turn it down. let's face it - What manager could?

Loyal? He said he would probably leave if cortese left.

Ed, any more news on Banega?
Believable4
Unbelievable1
{Ed001's Note - he said he wants to stay, though what a player says in public is often not what they actually mean. Last I heard, though, no deal was close, hence the comments, as he is now expecting to stay.}
If that's true it's a massive shame and just shows how wide of the mark so many rumours truly are.

And that's why it's called a rumor.

Gaston Ramiez is linked with a move to inter, with them apparently in talks, in a £13 million deal. Athletico Madrid have supposedly given up on talks for Ramirez.
I do not believe either is true. It is from the Italian media, says it all really!

Gaston has rejected an offer from Athletico Madrid. Has even expressed desire to extend stay at saints!

Gaston has undoubted skill, however he struggles with his fitness and is not the high energy player required in the system that is currently being employed. I believe he will leave and a more suitable replacement will be signed i. e. Benega

Fairly clear that Gaston wants to move on. Less clear but possible that he doesn't fit in with the way the team is devlopimg
