Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[Sk@mcfc]

Replacing Gundogan with Gundogan.

Fucking genius, is Pep.

And kova so we actually got a upgrade

lol this weather today, he must be mad.

I think this ship has sailed. He will be 28 next year, I know we have bought experienced midfielders before but I think next year is the influx of youngsters.

What makes you think that mate?

What makes you think that mate?

He won't ever play again after his hearing for the betting.

Oh right. Because he was the best player in La Liga last season and created more chances than anyone else in the entire league. And you feel free to list some of the creative players currently playing in that league.

Oh and the greatest manager in the history of professional football contacted him within moments of hearing he was avaliable in order to convince him to sign for the club.

This is the guy who let Hart, Kompany, Silva, Fernandinho and Aguero walk instead of retiring here and you're concerned about City being too sentimental

Again we should be looking forwards when signing players and not backwards. There are examples where clubs shouldn't sign their former stars even after having a good season. Ronaldo being the recent one.

Just read an interesting take on this on a West Ham site. They reckon that Gundy is a stop gap until the Paqueta decision drops and then we go back in for him. Interesting theory.

(apologies if already mentioned)

Was it KUMB?

 

[RayCTID]

Your problem with him coming is we would have to replace him in a couple years? We have been searching and been unable to find a 'replacement! all summer, for this season.

Again the solution isn't bringing him back in a playing capacity. We have Kovacic and although he doesn't score many he still can do the rest of Gundogan's game with a bit more mobility.

Would like to know how much City will pay in wages to Gundo. He has apparently waived £40 million in wages due from Barcelona by tearing up the two years left on his contract. He was the third highest paid Barca player.

I wouldn’t bet on it.
