Ilkay Gundogan - He's Back, Welcome Home

Oof.

Interesting (and entirely unsurprising) that the BBC omit this quote from their article on him resigning with us.

Omg what a club. So so happy

Excellent stuff, welcome back Ilkay.

He will be a big influence in the squad and on the pitch.

Between a couple of players excellent signings and the development of Lewis, Bobb and hopefully McAtee we are in very good health!

I believe his influence off the pitch alone will propel us towards five in a row. This squad is a perfect blend of youth and experience with lots of pace. Arguably as good as the Centurions squad. Getting Gundo back is huge. We have flexibility all across the squad. Our choice in midfield is Rodri, Foden, Kev, Rico, Gundo, Kova, Nunez, and best of all Bernie. On the wings Oscar Bobb, Savinho, Doku, Grealish. Surely our best ever squad. Pace all over the field. Fan….bloody….tastic.

Don’t know a lot about this guy, but I heard he made the scousers cry.

Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

don't know about the scousers,

but he's making a few blues cry tears of joy today.

Nice.

As we've known from his first spell with us, the bloke is a class act. Delighted he's returned home.

Seeing him in the Gillingham away shirt on that video gave me goosebumps! Can't wait to see his first game back.

HE SAID 99! He said 99. He knows tha knows..

Loved his line about taking the #19 shirt instead of a more familiar number.

"I wore #22 with Barcelona and #21 with the German national team... but I didn't win any trophies with those numbers."
