8 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2022/23

[uwe rosler 28]

Am I crazy for thinking someone who's already sorted themselves out a new club should not be wearing the captain's armband?

Signing for another one of the biggest clubs in Europe, playing at the top level and ostensibly a rival in the CL is very different to retiring, or semi-retiring like Ferna or Kompany.

It's only a rumour nothing stated yet. Also do you think the club weren't in the know about kompany leaving? Still lead us to a domestic treble.

Ruben should be captain end of story

Agreed!!

Midfield has 2 key players who want to leave (Gundogan, Bernie).

Well I guess thats why we want Perrone in so quickly.

 

[Keeper!]

Nope. You're bang on. Our captain, and thus designated leader, has already decided to go. How the fuck can anyone take him 100% seriously when he's quite literally not committed to the club? He's allowed to leave and I have zero doubts he'll remain professional...but it isn't fair to conclude a small bit of him at least is somewhere else mentally.

Did not seem a problem with Fernandihio and everyone knew he was leaving.

Dinho was going to Brazil to retire, and the club were happy for him to move on. He was finished at the top level, having given absolutely everything to the end.

Gundo is potentially leaving in his prime to go to a top European club and possibly play against us.

Not sure it's a great look for the club captain, especially with half the season left.

I literally explained why this would be different to Kompany in the post you replied to…

Hardly “his prime”, lol.

Sorry, I must have missed something. Where is he going, and what has he said about it?

Nothing , he always leaves it late , no news at all yet

 

[Pedestrian]

He defo not in his prime. I’m not sure we’d get a fee from anyone he would want to play for. I don’t think he should be starting for us never mind be the captain. I think he’s part of the problem at the moment.
