Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Nah - Barca reject, mate

I'm going to get that chant going on Saturday if he's here hahaha

 

[Gremlin]

Not sure, when you are 2-0 down to villa and the title is on the line is this the guy you want to rely on?

Rodri says hi

March 2025 - May 2025

 

[Gone for a Burton]

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

He never had pace cos he didn't need it.

He was pin sharp and used his vision and anticipation to run the game.

Peps first signing and an elite player at all levels.

Gundog for free, and to study coaching under Pep for the future benefit of the CFG....where do I pick him up ??

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

No idea.

She's a Cornish lass.

 

[The Black Shed]

Never go back, that's what they say isn't it?

Who remembers players, of any club, having a brilliant 2nd stint? SWP was ok for us I seem to recall.

Pogba? Haha

 

[Toranaga sama]

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.

There's only one scenario where a deal might not happen, if and only if Barcelona is being Barcelona and demands any transfer fee. I won't be surprised if City tells Barcelona to Fuck off and forget any transfer fee.

Apart from that, I don't see any other obstacles.

 

[Tevez City]

Hopefully he can convince Bernardo that moving to Barca is not worth it

 

[Kazzydeyna]

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!!!

We often forget the sentiment in the game. Myself very much included.

It feels good to be getting all gooey-eyed again.

Bring. Him. Home.

genuine question for the people here that say getting him would reduce minutes for foden (and other players) or move him to the wing, what do you guys think would happen if got bruno? we are clearly trying to land a player that can play the 6 & 8 and we are probably getting one next summer.

bruno would also play more minutes than gundo.

We potentially have 60-70 games this season. Game time for our established players ain't gonna be an issue
