[01cravend]

In a heartbeat

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Gundo has just announced the end of his career for the German team.
His club career will go on.

Thanks Celine. ;-)

Even better

RVP going to the rags for a year worked out well for them

Lampard was great for us

Sometimes the elder player is what you need

RVP played at least 3 years with the rags

What is this hyping om mcatee ? He needs a loan, one we choose this time

RVP played at least 3 years with the rags

They only needed him for 1

 

[The perfect fumble]

I'm getting the word....

Gundo

If we get him.... to avoid the notion that 'you should never go back'

Just try to imagine he's been out for 12 months with a bad injury and now he's fully fit again ;-)

You think the club believe we won’t be in the CL next season?

Probably not for the Gundo thread, I believe with the litigation the club will look mitigate potential outcomes (one of which could be a points deduction that would leave us outside of the European places).

This is not saying the club is guilty or are expecting to lose, but companies will always look at potential outcomes and plan accordingly (in the same way we will have had contingency plans for Pep leaving in the past but not needed them).

We have enough threads on this, but yes could be a reason for a Gundogan short term deal making business sense (and a change from our transfer policy) as opposed for example to paying a RC for Bruno G at the beginning of the window.

Tbf that is literally how his Dortmund career went and how his City career started, lol.
