Ilkay Gundogan

[City_Sean]

An absolute steal at £20m.

What's so impessive is just how effortless he makes it all seem. The energy and drive as well as ability to control a game is going to be vital this season.

Sublime, cheers o.p. I enjoyed that. Said it on another thread that I am looking forward to this season more than any previous one.
I feel like a kid who's been really good waiting for Christmas.

Have you seen him play before? Gundogan's like a rich mans Emre Can.

Insane signing at 20 million. Mind you it also opens up us going for quicker players with not as great a passing range in Sane. I think Pep realized we have amazing passers in KDB, Silva and Nasri at the front and probably added Gundogan as one from the midfield. He will start every game he is fit.

Its going to be a very common tactic of having Gundogan on the ball and then him playing the winger with an insane through ball, hence using their pace in the most effective manner.
It won't be like under Pellers where we just feed the ball to Sterling in a safe position expecting him to beat 2 people to get into a decent position. It is going to be more of Sterling running into empty space and Gundogan spotting and delivery right there.

Agree. Once fit, I imagine he'll be the first name on the team sheet.

reminds me very much of david silva in that video, even his shooting is shit ;-)

brilliant signing at just £20m, great business by Txiki.
