Gundo returning home is a news worth celebrating millions times over. I know that all such returns never pan out the way everyone hopes and expects. I am no fortune teller but gut feeling that in this case it will be a success and I have my reasons too.

Gundo was one of the best midfielders in La Liga in an under-performing Barca side.
He was let down by his Barca teammates multiple times during the season.
At the Euros, he was the second best player in a gung-ho German team playing pacey and aggressive football.
He is older but an intelligent guy who remains a big game player and will help us a lot in the later part of the season.
He knows the system and the team inside out and will fit in as he never left.

I always recall the 3-3 draw at the Bernabeu last season, Real subbed a tiring Kroos with a fresh Modric after 70 minutes and he just changed the tempo of the game, within minutes Real equalized too. Gundo gives us that option. Even if he or Kevin or Kova don't start, we know that we have somebody world class sitting on the bench, ready to come and change the game. Plus, he puts fear in rivals just because of his reputation as a "Clutch".

This is a win-win for all the parties involved. Watching him play last season in La-liga and the Euros, it was apparent that he has a lot to give. And thankfully both the sides saw that grass is not always greener on the other side and his return is imminent.

Gundo knows this league inside out so all the idiots coming out with the ' never go back' have got it all wrong on this one. He's been away for one season ffs, City are still playing the same way so he'll be just fine

He’s gone over to the John Stones thread now trying to wind me up. But I am Zen, I am calm, I am going to the Etihad in 2 days time to see the City boys. So he can go and take a running jump. :-)

Well said Eccles. I’ll never know what the humourless bugger says again. Missing him already (not)
 
Just read an interesting take on this on a West Ham site. They reckon that Gundy is a stop gap until the Paqueta decision drops and then we go back in for him. Interesting theory.

(apologies if already mentioned)

I think this ship has sailed. He will be 28 next year, I know we have bought experienced midfielders before but I think next year is the influx of youngsters.
