Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[BringBackSwales]

He has retired from International Football which may help with his longevity but going off what happened in the latter part of his Barcelona Gundo has started to slow down significantly.

Did he? I don’t watch them but I never saw that reported, and I also thought he was in the premier league team of the season?

I wonder what shirt number he goes into.

21? thats what he had for Germany

 

[RayCTID]

I guess we'll find out if he comes back

Looked fine in the euros

Has retired from International Football and the flip side is Modric is still part of the Croatian set up.

He definitely has 2

Well, he definitely had 2 when he left - but I'd check again just in case as you can't trust those wide boys at Barca not to pull a fast one in the legs department.

Barcelona supporters had noticed that side when watching him. He is still an older head but we are not the short in that department either.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Gundo is back
Gundo is back hello hello

I just want to see him on the official website holding up the shirt!

I'm trying not to get my hopes up just incase it falls through, I don't trust those twats Barca...

I'll join in on your sing song then fella :)

Many players have knocked international footy on the head but had plenty of life in them.

 

[york away to this!]

He's fond of a 99...

There's some wierd FIFA style intterpretations of positions going on here. We play with two central attacking midfieldrs and Gundo plays as one of them. Same as KDB, Kovecic and Foden. He played a couple of times as a holding midfielder and many thought one of those lost us the champions league final

He didn't play as a holding midfielder. They didn't actually use one.

They played him in centre mid but the idea was to have 6 attacking players rather than having someone do the Rodri/Fernandinho role. Try and just overload Chelsea.

Annoyingly a Fernandinho tactical foul would have worked wonders.

I guess 21.

It's been his Germany number for a while and it's free now Gomez moved on.
