8 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2022/23

[Blue and true]

Desperate for him to stay. He has another couple of seasons at his current level.

For me, he's the most underrated midfielder in the history of the Prem. Understatedly brilliant for years now.

By all means we would like Ilkay to stay. Pep in the press conference before Leeds said about that, that more or less he definitely wants Gundogun to stay but the club is above him and the club decides and something to that extent.

Strange that they're not visible in blocking the roads out of Manchester. If Ilkay stayed, the keys to a network of clubs for management are on his desk.

I wonder if the club only want to offer a one year deal and Gundo wants longer.

With his skill and intelligence he could do another couple of years easily, particularly in the deeper role like Saturday. With Rico alongside to do the spadework they could be a formidable partnership and Rico learns from the very best whilst that partnership gives Rodri a rest in as many games as he needs it. Lock him in City.

The flip to that is maybe Ilke wants a new challenge. Maybe he is looking at David and seeing him thriving at St Sebastian and thinks a change of scenery would be good.

Whatever, we have been fortunate to have him and he joins the lengthening line of legends.

There are rumours - aren't their always - that his wife wants a move from sunny Manchester.

Wouldn't blame him for fancying a few years in Barcelona.

 

[Jag]

Absolutely awful tonight. The amount of times he raised his hand to apologize to his teammates for his errors. Needs to sort it out.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Terrible tonight, and that's being generous.

 

[thanatos]

Absolutely terrible. 0/10. No words on how he managed to stay on for 90 minutes.

 

[nicko]

He looked shattered at end of Leeds game and was awful and a liability tonight.

 

[walker_is_faster]

He can't play two games a week.
