Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

Because it's not official news yet

Lol, when has that stopped SSN.

Never heard of him, any good?

I think their point is that it's best to bring him in on a short-term contract, as players can decline sharply in mid-thirties and - while he's still brilliant and full of energy now - that might not be the case post World Cup.

I don't think anyone thinks he won't be a top player for the next two years at least. I certainly think he has a lot to contribute for the next two years at least. It's just after that when you get to 36 and over it's really getting very old in footballer terms (yes even in this era).

He's a top player we all know that.

To Madrid, you mean.

To be fair, it's natural to say "X joins Chelsea"

 

[mancboy]

To Madrid, you mean.

I'm not believing it until I see it on the sky yellow breaking news tab.
