Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[manimanc]

We are so much stronger with him.
I couldn't believe he wanted to leave in the first place. It just didn't seem time yet.

He stabilised so many matches coming on as a sub.
If this is happening, he just might have something to prove.

I think he was probably thinking he'd won everything with us and would be a good way of bowing out and trying something new.
But we all said at the time why was he going to an unstable club like Barcelona.

Maybe his wife was the main reason?

Envious of those there on Saturday. Imagine that noise when he’s brought onto the pitch?

Me too. Will be in Venice for me and Mrs Prague's 10th wedding anniversary. Some lucky barsteward has bought my ticket on the exchange.

There may well be but there are a few posters getting carried away with him being Peps replacement.

Carried away? I've already got a semi on at the thought of a Kompany Gundogan partnership. Could be a modern day version of Clough and Taylor.

I'd say she had 99.9999% input into the decision :)

I know this is fairly new news. But i swear i read an article last month where he said in an interview that he regretted leaving City, and hoped there was some path back. Cannot find it now.

On what basis exactly?

A feeling in my bones
