Might be wrong but I think it's coming up to ten years ago that he came to the Etihad with Dortmund and dominated the midfield. One of the best performances I've seen by a midfielder at our ground.
I had concerns at one point that it wasn't going to work out for him as well as it should have and he didn't quite fit but his quality has never been in doubt for anyone with two functioning eyes.
To me he is approaching legend status. His interplay with Haaland on Sat showed us so much. As Pep said, he has this knack of arriving in the 6 yard box at just the right time. With Harland drawing so much attention, have a feeling this won't be the last time we see a Haaland assist to Ilkay (when most would expect the other way around)
He's given us more good seasons than Yaya.

this is literally true I reckon... i love Yaya, and he's absolutely one of our most talented players ever, but i swear most blues have their blue-tinged specs on and think Yaya was like that 13/14 season for us all of the time. He only really did that once IMO. One insane season, two excellent seasons and the rest just alright tbh. He just had a big habit of big moments, which sorta masked a lot of indifferent spells.

Yaya was excellent for 4 years and average or poor for 4 years.
Everything changed when his brother died.
He was only hopeless in the eyes of the guy you replied to.
Not the first urban myth he has created on this forum, doubt if it will be the last.
If @FantasyIreland had his way, Gundogan, Bernardo, Mahrez and Rodri would have been sold years ago.

You definitely made a big thread about all the players we should immediately sell when 20/21 started badly and Bernardo was one of them.
