Ilkay Gundogan - He's Back, Welcome Home

[eastmanc]

"It feels so nice to be home".
Welcome back me old Gundog.

Never gave up his old flat. What a guy.

Silky Ilkay is back, baby — let the whip recommence!

 

[eastmanc]

The bonus of this is that it might suggest to other players that everything they ever want to achieve can be achieved at City and offers from Spain, Germany etc are not all they are cracked up to be.

Are you listening Bernie.

Him taking a year away might end up being the best thing he could have done. It's opened his eyes to just how superbly run we are and that theres no greener pastures on the planet.

He's going to be a massive influence on the dressing room and on the academy players coming through too, especially if he retires here into a coaching role, he will drill it in to players that there's nowhere better to be than City.

His first task should be to get into Bernardo's ear to make him have a little rethink about his near future plans.

Signing of the window.

Yet another piece of great buisness

Just watched his interview. He is not only a superb player but he speaks incredibly well.

Never gave up his old flat. What a guy.

That’s going to be a huge boost for Pep too. Can only be positive for him extending his contract too.

Ooof the message this sends to players (ours and those of others clubs) about the club is absolutely huge.

The winning mindset in the dressing room, is huge.

Setting the standard of how to train and conduct yourself, huge.

His control, ability to rock up at the right place and the right time on the pitch, huge. Even if it’s less often than before.

Brilliant to have him back off the pitch at Man City, and I think many will be surprised with his contribution on it.

Grass isn’t greener, it’s blue. Thrilled with this one.

He's come back to make the scousers cry again.

The bonus of this is that it might suggest to other players that everything they ever want to achieve can be achieved at City and offers from Spain, Germany etc are not all they are cracked up to be.

I think Leroy, Riyad, Joao, and especially Raz can attest to that.

 

[Blu1]

Superb signing, give him the captains arm band too. Welcome home gundog

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Says he's been reading social media saying - "there could be a lot of people saying we don't want him back or whatever".

Erm, not quite that Gundo although @ray21 @BolinCell @Mancityphilfo2000 @TonyColemansbagofapples and a few others said they weren't so keen; )

 

[.db.]

You hear that, Cules? ‘The best club in the world’.

 

[N1985]

He's back, absolutely buzzing.

Goosebumps. Welcome back Ilkay!!

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

He's come back to make the scousers cry again.

They already are
