That list of injuries doesn't look bad at all. I would say awful luck but it's good to see he doesn't have a recurring injury, that would be much more worrying and that is when i class a player as 'injury prone'

Although his past injuries have not necessarily recurred, a "dislocated knee" has a high probability of recurring, as previously discussed.
 
£19 million pounds seems absurdly low for a player of his quality no matter what his contract situation is.

He's a £35 million pound player easily.

Buzzing with this and I hope we announce it within the next week.

any reason we couldnt sign one of those as well? Need more than just Gundogan in midfield..

It’s a measure of how highly Guardiola rates Gundogan that he rejected moves for Sanches and Kante to continue pursuit despite knee injury

I wouldn't take anyone from Leicester.

I'm not convinced it's all sweetness and roses down that way. Kante was a find but I'd like to see another season from him.

If Gundoggan is a replacement for Toure then I agree we need 2 more. One to put Fernando in a squad player role and one other to replace Delph
 
Can't really argue for £19m, certainly worth a punt on a player of his calibre - definitely the type of player we need in the side.

The injury has marred this transfer somewhat as this can be the type of injury that can have long-lasting effects with re-occurrence much more likely once it's happened before. From what I gather though he has had surgery for the injury (?), usually you'd just use physio to strengthen the surrounding muscles to prevent re-dislocation so there has probably been a cause for the dislocation found, damage to the ligament/bone or surgery has been done to stabilise the patellar in the hope of preventing re-occurrence, which is good, however this adds on significantly to the recovery time usually (+ months). In the short-term surgery may well cause him to be out for longer than hoped, but for long-term preservation it'll have been a good choice & hopefully he can remain free from any re-occurrences :-)

A few more signings of this quality & we'll be in business.

I'm very happy we went for him despite his injury, sure it sucks that he'll miss not only preseason but the start of the season too, but he's a phenomenal player and exactly the type of midfielder we've been desperate for.
 
Looks like Pep is building a frightening counter attacking side as well as a good footballing one. Gundogan plays many quick forward passes and chipped over the top passes. With Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero and probably Sane ahead of him, our transition from defence to attack will be a sight to behold!

My issue with him is his injury record. But if Pep feels we should still get him, we shouldn't be denying him.

Dat discussion should be had. Someone should day "hey Pep, you know he is a crock right? So have your backup plan in place when ilkay, Aguero, Kompany and Silva all can't go."

Love the guy, but everything hints at him being a crock.
