Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[clarion]

I don’t think this will happen.

Signing Gundogan wins us the league again. Gives us so much flexibility. He’s like signing 3 players in one. His leadership also gives us a further dimension.

Him and Kova at the base of midfield would be good enough against any side in the World and allows Rodri far more rest.

Please Kaiser Whippy, come back

The rough order is:
1) vague rumour
2) Fabrizio Romano tweets "here we go"
3) slightly less vague rumour
3) strong rumour
4) imminent
5) bags packed
6) plane tracking thread
7) signs for United/PSG at vastly inflated fee

Hopefully we skip point 7

on 6 the Airport Visitors Park is open till 8pm.

Do I need to pack some corned beef barms and get myself to the Aerodrome?

Yes.

Even if for just the sentiment I’m absolutely fucking buzzing.

Ultimately football is just pointless, a load of millionaires kicking a ball around.

If you can’t get emotional and sentimental what’s the point.

Bring it on!!!

He should never have left but that’s ok. The wife needed a break and he wanted to try Barca. Gundo is among a handful of city players who can do what they want imo. The legacy Gundo left us with is intact.

So many players come and go but Gundo, Komps, zaba, silva, Sergio have a special afinity with the fans. Villa alone would have been more than enough but to also make the scousers cry and fuck over united in a final is legend status.

We need him and he needs us. Worrying about others is pointless. Pep will put out the best team for us to win games. If the young players are good enough, just as Bobb has shown they will have years playing in blue. Gundo coming in won’t change that.

We have skipped straight to imminent.

Time to get the deckchairs and binoculars out at Barton, and I'm not talking Joey Barton; )

I don’t think this will happen.

Why?
This deal makes sense on so many levels, there’s really no downside and the reasons a few posters have given as to why they don’t won’t him back hold no water.

The old saying don’t look a gift horse in the mouth applies here.

 

[eastmanc]

even if he comes and only plays a handful of games in the league cup and champs league group games, it takes some pressure off the squad, and im sure he's still got the legs/quality to do it. Come home Gundog!!

He was very good in the Euros, he doesn't look that he's lost a lot.

 

[Skrastins]

Yea, it’s done
