Is that before or after he wanted to fight ?Have a look about what Sam Lee has tweeted
On the one hand I just bloody love Gundogan, he’s a great player and a great person to have at the club.
On the other hand he’s 33 and his direct replacement was just MOTM playing the exact role we are getting Gundogan to play, and we’ve got potentially world class kids all over that #8 position who will undoubtedly get less games, be on the bench less and develop less if Gundo plays instead of them, which he will because Pep always values seniority over everything.
I also wonder what happens with the captaincy?
I won’t be sad if it happens, not by a long shot, but I feel like there’s a good chance he left when he was supposed to leave.
Always leave them wanting more etc.

Well as a Money maker in this Country the world is yours, heard many things That the Saudis treat their Players/Boxers etc. especially with a prestige like gundo so so well to let them feel good.You just said, has a family and Saudi in the same sentence.
What do you think why they all Go there, of course money first but After that there are so many factors

You FOC. ;)I'm getting tired of everyone calling Gundo old - I checked his birthday and I'm about 2 weeks older than him. He's a spring chicken with his best years ahead of him
haha im certain Tolmie posting that last bit as a laugh400m? For a 33 year old? Riiiiight.

I just don't see Gundo coming back when we effectively let him go by not offering a longer contract. Would look a bit silly on both sides, but would be chuffed if it did happen

True. But with the extra CL group stage games coming up he needs to start using more subs to not burn certain players out.Pep does rarely use subs for starters. We still have a few game changers already on our books who play in midfield. The better option would be bringing in an extra striker instead.
I get that you don't want him back, Ray. I don't have a problem with that pal.

Can't we do both?Pep does rarely use subs for starters. We still have a few game changers already on our books who play in midfield. The better option would be bringing in an extra striker instead.
Gundo isn't needed and although we can cover the striker position with Foden it would be more sensible if we bring in another striker first and foremost.Can't we do both?
