Ilkay Gundogan

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Can’t lie I think there was a massive Gundo shaped void last season.

Kovacic filled that partially but lacks the final third play - although I do think he could chip in with a few more.

Indeed there was a massive Gundo shaped void. Several games we struggled without him in the side or the option of bringing him on from the bench. We missed his experience guile and calmness especially when we went a goal behind.

He isn't coming back like a "look at me" Billy big balls Ronaldo type, he hasn't got the arrogance for a start. And Ilkay won't be ripping up too many trees either but he'll strengthen us and give us more tactical options than we has last season . And on occasion he'll be a game changer where his contribution makes all the difference. He's a proven winner coming back to win again and no proper blue can fault that.

Absolutely buzzing to have him back, I imagine most in the squad are buzzing to have him back as well.

He walks into every team in world football, brilliant signing.

Time to get our treble back.

Gundagain!

Just seen Arsenal also reached out but he said he’d go to Galatasaray over them as would only be City he’d go to in England.

Apparently.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Never heard of him

He's heard of you, mate. Said you're a tight **** ; )

Great thread this. Had everything from wanking ducks to blues bickering and now Kaz is all moist.

Tremendous.

That's just it for me. Just has thar extra bit of know how for say top CL game and knows Peps systems inside out.

Right I’ve just got up after working a night shift. Is this real or am I still in dreamland?

I'm glad he's coming back, but I do worry about what it means for others far less than his ability to perform.

-Fewer minutes in the middle for Phil after a POTY season there. He's made it clear he's not a winger anymore.
-Any chance of minutes for McAtee is indeed gone now
-Are we throwing in the towel on 60M Nunes already?
-Will Kovacic feel some way about this after his performance Sunday?


Only time will tell. Barca is a fucking nasty club, though. I hope we draw them in the Champions League and batter them.

Another Ray of sunshine.

Get the ice cream cones out ready!

Fixed!

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Very, very pleased. He’ll get a terrific reception when he next pulls on a City shirt.

One Ray is enough on here.

Take no notice. Most of what he posts is shite.
