Gundogan contract situation

[WickyWain]

Yeah, when that went in we won the title. Made it 3-1 didn't it?

Mahrez made it 3-1 and Gundogoat put the cherry on top

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

One of those rare players who have complete footballing intelligence. A brilliant servant to the club. Never anything less then 100%.

He deserves whatever comes his way in the future. Top man.

Great last year when Kev was out but big question now

Who the fuck will sell the ice creams

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Really classy player and never let us down. Sorry to see him go and hope he gets regular first team football wherever he ends up.

 

[Toney’s bookie]

Great interview with him here from a few days ago in case you missed it

Gundogan is football obsessed but WON'T watch Champions League final

EXCLUSIVE: Yet another taxing week lies in store and Ilkay Gundogan is introspective about it all. Man City are aiming to secure a fourth Premier League title in five years - the norm nowadays.

I hope our next signing from Dortmund turns out to be as influential as Mr Whippy.
;-)

 

[ArniArason]

He was the very first signing under Pep wasn't he? True gentleman and a wonderful player

 

[Claytop]

Great player & guy, though still not sure how he got away with the murder of Davison Sanchez.

 

[Withnail]

Very good player who has been an integral member of the squad. The fact that he still plays regularly for the German national team shows his pedigree and he will definitely be missed. Unfortunately, he has not been effective this season due to his back injury. All the best Ilkay for the future.

 

[jrb]

Has he really flown to Spain? Surely we need him for Sunday?

 

[HateUefaLoveCity]

One of them classic city players that just quietly did their thing. Fully wish him the best wherever he goes. Never expected as good as we got when he joined in 2016

As I said in the other thread, a pure class individual in every way, and will be missed for sure. His control, silkiness, and finishing were all exemplary when we needed them to be. A stalwart part of our greatest-ever period.

This absolutely necessitates the need for a CDM, then. And probably an 8, too.

My worry is that all the focus on rebuilding the midfield will mean we lose the track of signing a RB, too. To fully complete this squad, it will need to look something like this, for me:

Ederson / Steffen
Walker / New RB - Laporte / Ake - Dias / Stones - Cancelo / Zinny
Rodri / New CDM
KDB / New 8 - Bernardo / Grealish
Mahrez / Sterling - Haaland / Alvarez - Foden / Grealish

If the club feels Nunes can do the job of both back-up CDM and a general 8, then I trust them. But I think ideally we would flex our muscles and spend enough to cover all the positions properly. Walker isn't getting any younger, as well.

Surprised you didn't put Grealish at right back as well

 

[blueinsa]

Great clubs get rid of great players and replace with great players at the exact right time.

 

[Withnail]

Probably our most intelligent player of all time so far.

I think he will be a very good coach and I don't think it will be long before he hangs his boots up and starts applying for coaching positions.

 

[davyhulme blue]

A class act And a class player , enjoyed watching him play for us . Wish him well it would be good to see him back at the club in some capacity later in his coaching career .

 

[Clembo]

Top Top Class of player. Started off a bit rough with the knee injury, but ever since then he's been so good for us. Stepped in for Silva in 17/18, filled in for ferna in the 18/19 end of the season run in and maybe most importantly was a major factor in us winning the title and getting to the champs league final last year.

Seems like he's a top class bloke off the field as well, hope he's able to handle the back injury and be able to play a couple more years.

I've never forget what he did to davinson sanchez.

 

[Barcon]

Has he really flown to Spain? Surely we need him for Sunday?

Why can’t he be back for Sunday?

 

[ultimateharold]

Was a great announcment as well

 

[oldius]

Top player and top bloke. He will be missed, but what memories he has given us. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Don Karleone]

Brilliant on and off the pitch. Exactly the type of player you want at your club. I'll be sad to see him go
