I never much liked him in the past and still have issues with his diving, but either he's been brilliant for years and I just never noticed or he's really reached another level since joining Bayern. Serious contender for this years Ballon D'or?

Not really following the Bundesliga but I'm now coming round to the reality that he was simply the wrong man at the wrong time going to the wrong club to replace a manager who, as you've said all along, probably shouldn't have been replaced to begin with. Not sure where either Pep or Bayern will go with this but I'd be surprised if his contract gets renewed after 2016. Pep's problem is he's synonymous with a style that's had a bit of a crisis of credibility this past couple of years. He'll easily find work but he's certainly not the must-have messiah figure now that he was a few years ago. Meanwhile it'd be fascinating to see Mourinho go to Bayern.
