Gundogan

Is Gundogan a crock? He's had three big injuries and they've all been different.

Spinal compression is rare and he's over that, bruised foot is an impact injury and a dislocated kneecap can happen to anyone.

Hardly a crock.
 
I hope his contract is based heavily on incentives, we need to cover ourselves over his injuries.

Great signing though....keep them coming Pep.
 
I will say, I am very happy about this signing but we need to make sure he is 100% ready to go before we play him, even if it means to wait until October. As many have said, at that price it is a no-brainer for his quality and at his age he could play for us for 6-7 years. No point in rushing him in for an extra game or two, allow him to have his own preseason and training regiment and play him when he is fit. Same goes for Laporte if that deal goes ahead as well.

The Pep era is upon us ladies and gentlemen, let the good times roll.

I know, hilarious!
At the same age:
Kdb 8 goals in 36 while playing for genk in the Belgian league.
Aguero: 21 goals in 47 as an out and out striker.
Sterling: 11 goals in 42, playing on the wing, main reason for city progress in CL in an injury hit season that is admittedly poor by his standards, in an awful team that plays precisely to negate his strengths..

You forgot to add that we would be lucky to get sane as an upgrade - almost same age, scored about as many goals so far as sterling has in each of his past three seasons.

And then we have the nerve to accuse BT of taking a negative tone against city.

It's the same problem as with a lot of threads, some people just use it as a platform to belittle a player/manager they dislike
 
Apologies if this is a stupid question but i take it he wont have a medical due to his injury?

So do I, and if so, it's a big gamble.

Great player for sure, but that's a serious injury.

Augero, Silva, Kompany, and possibly Gundogan and Laporte.

I hope there going to expand the medial team, they could be busy.
 
Its quite simple we are paying 19+add ons BECAUSE he is injured and his injury record. If he wasn't we would be looking at a lot more for someone his class.
