Barcelona fans generally seem unhappy with him leaving as one said he was their best player last season. Read he had the most chances created and was in team of the season but seems typical amateur hour at Barcelona with not paying monies owed, buying players they cannot register, wanting everything for nothing as they are skint then blaming his wages being a reason they are happy to let him go, the wages they gave him to join.
Very hard to take that club seriously anymore

That first sentence says it all. The fact the fans of club he is leaving are unhappy about it, tells us straight away what a clever bit of business this is.
 
So Pep sent the most intelligent player to Barca for a year who dropped his 50 minute report (and the usb stick) in exchange for some Tapas. Agent Whippy, cool stuff.

I wonder if one day Vinnie takes Pep's job while Gundo is the new Txiki (who plays a blinder of a window - again)...

Big difference is that Gundogan (age 33) is coming back to just join the City squad whereas Ronaldo (age 36) was brought back to lead the United team. Another key difference is that we're looking for a player of Gundogan's profile whereas United already had a set XI and completely switched things up to accommodate Ronaldo.

Also, Ilkay is the very epitome of a team player, whereas with PR37, it’s all about him.

Gundo is still a highly influencial player and I don't think he is going to expect to play a perhipery part at City. He has retired from international football so that is one less demand. Rightly or wrongly he publically shamed his former teamates at Barcelona and that has probably ended his short spell at his one of boyhood clubs.

How do you know Brokelona is one of his boyhood clubs?

He’s a German of Turkish descent, who was born in Gelsenkirchen. He played in Schalke's youth team and as a professional for Bochum and Dortmund, before joining City.

I am not arsed on that. I do get things wrong. I have admitted that. United thought they would get the same player after his spell at Juventus and they were just as excited as Gundo's return is my point as well.

Much as we hate him in his pomp was a great player. He was still churning the stats at Juventus enough to "bring him home"

Today is bittersweet. Goodbyes are never easy, but it’s even harder with this team.

To be fair to PR37, he was pretty much bang on about the stuff he called the rags out for.

As much as he is all about himself, I think he clearly does expect a club to hold the same standards as he expects of himself. That's one thing I'll give him credit for. He called them out for the dying club with no standards that they are. But his ego and that clubs lack of self respect these days was never gonna end well.

At least we don't have to deal with shit like that. Our club keeps the highest of standards, and we'd only welcome back proper team players like Gundo. That's why he's more than happy to come back, he values professionalism.
