Yea the guy literally singlehanded the club a league last year but hey..
 
He should be playing at 6 rotating with Rodri.

Can't have them both playing in the league, we just keep getting overran. I do hope Peps decided on playing Bernardo or Foden in there because we're in need of pace and energy in the centre of the field

Yeah , we should have let him go for free , like it or not clubs in europe would have been queing up to sign him , i dont mind constructive or sensible debate , but Gundogan insisting on minutes in the Champs league in his contract is f*cking hilarious.

Agree, I still think it's blackmail. Wonder what he's got on Pep?
 
He scored a well taken goal for Germany against Switzerland today (although the goalie should have done better being beaten at the near post). I would like to see him getting those types of shots in for us if played as an 8.

He always gets chances to shoot and passes the burden. The man cant score from 3 yards out hes even missed from under the crossbar. Hes crap.

Didn’t miss when finishing off one of the best moves I’ve ever seen to clinch the derby that time did he.
He’s an unbelievably good player who was an integral part of back to back titles and yet he still gets twatted on daft forums.

Apart from the fact Foden,Merlin and Bernardo are totally different players who play different roles to Gundogan , all three of the players mentioned play as a number ten or can drift wide and are in the team to create , Gundogan doesnt and never will , he is in the team to hold the ball and rotate and retain possession and give the ball to the player who can create , commonly known as a "water carrier" these type of players do not recieve the plaudits , in fact some fans actually despise them
Not sure if you have noticed in the four seasons Pep has been here , his whole game plan is about ball retention and Gundogan alongside Merlin is the best at it.

To support your Post.i give you John McGovern. Nottingham Forest.
Two European cups.he got dogs abuse from the forest Main Stand,hecklers called him " Duck feet".....
They couldn't understand what he offered to the team.Discipline.ball retentionshape....Clough understood ,which is why he was the first player signed at Derby and Forest..two titles,and two European cups.
That is why Gundogan was Peps first signing for City........

A good player but not a great player best leave it at that.

I do know why many posters who like football, and watch football, do not rate Gundogan, it is because they do not understand Football.

Every time we have played Gundo and Rodri togetheragainst reasonable opposition I've backed the opposition, and usually win. Gundo as an attacking midfielder is a waste of space especially when we have much better options

Didn’t they both play away to Madrid ?

City are quality and are capable of beating anyone, Gundo does have good games now and then but when he plays as an attacking midfielder / alongside a defensive midfielder we create far less which makes us very vulnerable. Anyone can quote one off games I look at oveall team performance and stanby what I said.

So, if City plays great, it's because of others than Gündogan. Does City play bad it's because of Gündogan. Have I summarized what you actually said? Sounds biased to me.
 
Lads shouting get Thiago when Gündogan can do all and more. He fits certain systems better, not as prolific neither could he replace David Silva. Check his assist numbers over the seasons as well, he's been in immense form and controls the game excellent but give Gündogan the same role and he could do it as well, instead he's sat deep rotating 360 while holding Rodri's hand.
