Ilkay Gundogan

Yep, this is all about lifestyle and keeping his wife happy. Barca the football club are a shit show, but Barcelona the city is incredible and I fully understand why he would want to move there.

Fucking wife, why can't she wait 2 years and let her husband finish his career in the best team of the world. After that they have the rest of their lives to do what she wants.

Something a bit Scouse about this post ;)

Fuck it, may as well go full Scouse now - no more work for me this afternoon!

Sad if true, hopefully Barca will still be shit in the CL so they don't challenge us but he'll definitely make them stronger.

Good luck to him.

Extremely sad to see him go but he leaves a club legend.

Top 5 midfielder we've had. Ever. No need for that 20 year caveat

Gundogan, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Yaya, Rodri, David Silva, Bernardo Silva…lots of incredible midfielders in the past 20 years.

This year more like.

Fuck it, this lifetime. Where's the nearest 'jobby'? Sign on, sign on.

How much anyone bet Ilkay will speak much better Spanish in 2 years than Bellingham his entire stay there? I'm still traumatized listening to Bale and Beckham's "Spanish" interviews when they left Madrid.

Seven years in Manchester, who would have thought that when we picked him up for £20m.

I dare say we have had that money back ten-fold with what he has won us.

Barca still managed to win LaLiga last season and, as you say, the lifestyle will be incredible.

First child on the way, able to prolong his playing career, it all adds up for someone who deserves the best in life.

Great footballer, but seemingly, an even better human being.

You can't end your time at a club in a better way then Gundo, its Kompanys exit on steroids.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Great player. Thank you and all the best for the future

It is right time for him to go and try new place to live before he retires. He will enjoy Barcelona weather. He is City legend IMO. Way too many clutch moments.

Of course he’s a legend, won us the title last year, won us the fa cup this year, captain of the fuckin treble! Needs a stand named after him never mind a statue. One of the most underrated players to ever play for us. Only the last few years he’s been getting the recognition he deserves. And to top it all off seems like a really lovely bloke as well who does loads for charity.
