Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[p.taker]

no one cares what this know-nothing says on Twitter

Posters going on about him being “tired”.

Carrying on like his fitness regime consists of 3 sit ups, a family bag of Quavers, 18 pints with a load of old Irish fellas and sleeping on some couch in Gorton.

He’s an experienced, intelligent professional who knows how to manage himself. As is Pep and the rest of the staff.

Man won’t be getting “tired”

Still would be exposed with a quicker midfield.

He won’t be getting exposed either.

He’s too fucking intelligent.

Fucking hell Ray. Imagine the phone call from Pep.

“Hi mate, fancy 2 years of being absolutely fucking exhausted? I’ll also throw in 2 years of being exposed to fuck as well. What you saying?”.

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.

So you never watched the Euros then?
Barcelona is not Pep or Messi Barca.
Gundo is still Gundo.
He was never fast physically to ever think he has slowed down. His footballing brain is far faster than most.
But some people are not able to see that. Maybe you are one of those? That’s not a dig by the way, some people can and some people can’t.
I see a great squad player, with an amazing footballing brain, that can offer unbelievable cover for one of the best players in the world, can lead from the front, can coach and inspire our younger squad players, that has won it all, loves Manchester, loves City, signed on the back of an horrendous injury but wanted to play for our City, won a treble, helped the homeless and is a very fine footballer.
If you see someone that has started to slow down and maybe not for us, I see differently. Time will tell.

If we think logically about this, the UK for all its downsides it still a bloody good place to live, especially for a person in the football industry.

Gundo can have a long term future at city not just in a playing capacity.

What teams quicker midfield are you thinking of?

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.

I speak regularly with a Barca fan and he’s never mentioned it, he thinks Gundo is class and will be gutted. Will ask him about the tiring thing.

The Premier League is still a fast pace league.

They wouldn't know the ins and outs of offers and negotiations. Not with a player like Gundo and the respect that is there between him and the club.

How do you know?

I saw Gundo at the Euros. The ice cream truck has plenty of petrol in the tank, don't worry.
