Gundo is back
Gundo is back hello hello

You been rubbing your crystal ball? :)

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Has retired from International Football and the flip side is Modric is still part of the Croatian set up.

Depends what country you represent really though
He has got Musiala and Writz hot on his heels ( plus some I’m not aware of no doubt).
Croatia may not have someone that creative coming through

 

[Stoned Rose]

Posters going on about him being “tired”.

Carrying on like his fitness regime consists of 3 sit ups, a family bag of Quavers, 18 pints with a load of old Irish fellas and sleeping on some couch in Gorton.

He’s an experienced, intelligent professional who knows how to manage himself. As are Pep and the rest of the staff who look after the players’ health.

Man won’t be getting “tired”

Many players have knocked international footy on the head but had plenty of life in them.

Gundo is returning to a more intense pace. He may be used longer than he should with injuries and suspensions we do get. The first example is last season with Rodri's suspension and De Bruyne's early lengthy injury.

That’s great news.

uses football intelligence (time and space) to maximise his efficiency

 

[lol yank]

Just want to drop in and let you all know how much I absolutely loathe that reshad mouthpiece idiot. I know he’s simply an aggregator but the amount of dog shit that comes out of that account is rage inducing

If Modric was still playing in the Premier League he would of retired from International Football by now. It is not the most highly technical league but physically it is still a lot more demanding than La Liga which it is not a significantly weak league either to be fair either.

Still would be exposed with a quicker midfield.

He won’t be getting exposed either.

He’s too fucking intelligent.

Fucking hell Ray. Imagine the phone call from Pep.

“Hi mate, fancy 2 years of being absolutely fucking exhausted? I’ll also throw in 2 years of being exposed to fuck as well. What you saying?”.

He has retired from International Football which may help with his longevity but going off what happened in the latter part of his Barcelona Gundo has started to slow down significantly.

So you never watched the Euros then?
Barcelona is not Pep or Messi Barca.
Gundo is still Gundo.
He was never fast physically to ever think he has slowed down. His footballing brain is far faster than most.
But some people are not able to see that. Maybe you are one of those? That’s not a dig by the way, some people can and some people can’t.
I see a great squad player, with an amazing footballing brain, that can offer unbelievable cover for one of the best players in the world, can lead from the front, can coach and inspire our younger squad players, that has won it all, loves Manchester, loves City, signed on the back of an horrendous injury but wanted to play for our City, won a treble, helped the homeless and is a very fine footballer.
If you see someone that has started to slow down and maybe not for us, I see differently. Time will tell.

If we think logically about this, the UK for all its downsides it still a bloody good place to live, especially for a person in the football industry.

Gundo can have a long term future at city not just in a playing capacity.

What teams quicker midfield are you thinking of?

 

[City Raider]

Barcelona supporters had noticed that side when watching him. He is still an older head but we are not the short in that department either.

I speak regularly with a Barca fan and he’s never mentioned it, he thinks Gundo is class and will be gutted. Will ask him about the tiring thing.

The Premier League is still a fast pace league.

 

[Vienna_70]

They wouldn't know the ins and outs of offers and negotiations. Not with a player like Gundo and the respect that is there between him and the club.

How do you know?

 

[Bozo]

I saw Gundo at the Euros. The ice cream truck has plenty of petrol in the tank, don't worry.
