19 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2024/25

[Roachy]

He was finished in the Premier league when he walked out to Barcelona.

3 or 4 big games a year in Spain, then we all thought he would be the razzmatazz Gundogan from when he left on his return.

Another absolute baffling decision by the board.

Him, KDB, Walker and Bernie are all the wrong side of 30.

The main reason why we are in the shit!!

Said it before, too many got all nostalgic and moist with his return. Top guy though.

I must have been watching a different game. Thought he had his best game for us yet.
He was neat with his passing, won the ball regularly and he was often trying to play the ball forward in an attempt to create something. Nunes on the other hand …

It's because the standards are just too low these days, if someone doesn't have complete stinker, he played well.

Bringing him back was the correct decision but playing him constantly now isn't.

Him coming on as the fox in the box when we need a goal would be a brilliant asset to have.

I disagree. His playing time is hurting the club. We suck with or without him. At least some young guy, perhaps even the McCatee who I personally don't rate could be getting some deserved experience or game time to see if he'll eventually be good enough. Wright who I tate can be gaining experience working out his kinks.


Instead we are stuck on reverse. Learning nothing other than what common sense should have told us: ***Our aging star is past his prime***

I hate everything I see. I just love him to much to go crazy. He, Bernardo and Kevin don't have the physical energy to show for the ball nor do they particularly want it.

I really really didn't want him back. Didn't want to remember him this way :(

That ball in the first half that he leathered at Foden from about 8 yards away - near their 18 yard line....fuck me.

I was saying in my head...don't do it, don't do it, and he did it. He had much more simple options available but chose the hardest one. It resulted in losing the ball and the rags breaking on us.

Sadly, he looks physically and mentally shot.

Can’t be far off that certain number now

Fertig.

Don't care. He can stay one more season and get a fat check every week. He has earned that. It's playing time that he doesn't deserve.

He can have as many fat checks as he wants.

What about the squad space he'll be taking up?

 

[Crooked_rain]

Absolutely no problem with him being at the club in a coaching role during a rebuild of the squad, but it's clear he's got very little to offer on the pitch anymore.
