This signing clearly has Pep's paw prints all over it, as reported. Gundo can still play. Barca's best player last year.
- Provides great coverage at 6/8/F9.
- Incredibly popular in the dressing room.
- Got the best out of Jack in the treble season.
- Great mentor for Macca and Nico

1+1 deal is fine with me. Likely off to MLS/NYC after us. Hopefully we keep him in the CFG from now on. Important figure.

If we accept we needed another senior midfielder and we were going to buy one, then young players would have seen their chances lessened anyway. Probably more of a route through with Gundo on a free for a year, than a 60 70 100m full international player in their mid twenties on a 4, 5 year contract.

Absolutely. I think this is a player to coach deal too. It helps us this year, then he is likely to go. I remember reading that his coaching acumen is really respected in the group.

Poor lad should never have left but we were financially fucked.

Shouldn't have returned but at the beginning of the takeover it did make sense.

Snap.

I just don't get this signing at all...and I was the one always defending Gundo in those dark days when only things about him were 'running through treacle', but once you are gone, you are gone.

A bit like your post then.
