Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I'll be fucking buzzin if he's at the ground on Saturday.

He said after 65 minutes he was fucked! But yes he did well and age is only a number.

Still needs plenty of energy for the Premier League as well as the extra bit of Football Intellegence that Gundo has undoubtable still has. We have plenty of older heads already in the sqaud who helped us during last season (barring the FA Cup Final)

People on here, high on petrol fumes, or stale Guinness wanting Raheem Sterling back. I please beg you rewatch the Lyon highlights and come back to me.

Well Vardy had no pre season, it was only decided a few days ago he would be in the squad. He was half fit really.

Even at 37, Vardy is as fit as a fiddle when he's got himself match fit


Gundo is only 33, it's not that old

Media are saying WHY sign him back... Because we can and he's loved

Yes, game time could be a problem, But again Rodri is not Superman and if there is one City player who needs to be protected from burnout so we can get many more years out of him it is Rodri.

Simple answers to media, Fuck off and what do you know

Would love nothing more than for him to come on in a game and bags a brace ..

Tell Jamie Vardy this- he's 4 years older and did pretty well last night returning to a physical league.

Exactly, Vardy hasn't always been a picture of physical health either

That is the rare occasion he really changes things. There have been countless times where you think Pep should make changes but he does leave his starting line up to change things around. Especiall in the Premier League.He doesn't even rotate Rodri.

4 in a row. 6 in 7.

I know that hurts you. Really really hurts you. Not cos you’re a rag. Sadly, I believe you are a City fan. You’re just one of those fans that every club has to suffer.
You’d rather be seen as erudite, arrogant, and contrary for contrary’s sake. Just because.

Sad really. The rest of us are enjoying being a City fan these last few years, but it seems to offend you somehow.

Get used to it. We aren’t going away. The days of being the cool kid in the pub supporting a shit team like City are over. They aren’t coming back.
Unlike Gundogan. Gundogan is coming back. Probably help us to another title, maybe a double, possibly a treble.

It’s great being a blue but you have to get over yourself and let the good times in.

Oh yeah I agree. Gundo ran more than any Barca player last year, was in La Liga team of the season and their best player.

Fair play to Vardy he’s a great player. Loves a Red Bull!

 

[RayCTID]

Wait, you're wrong.

I am not that wrong. There were plenty of signs during Gundo's last season he was struggling with the intensity of the Premier League. We didn't offer him an extra year on his contract.

Countless times ‘YOU’ think but you haven’t won countless titles, so I’d leave it to the man who has. FYI have a read of this book or either of Marti’s two other books if you think Pep doesn’t make tactical subs.

There are plenty of others who thought Pep should make more match changes I and have stated Pep rarely makes subs and said it wasn't necessary in the Match Thread.

We need Gundo back in this squad, young players like O'reilly and Mcatee will benefit hugely from his presence
