Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

[northstandgiveusasong]

no, it would be embarrassing for him if we offered to have him back. he should go to a team who will adore him (Live Siva did with Sociadad) maybe Turkey?

Don't we adore him then?...

I mean, that ice cream was clearly delivered into the cone buy some sort of scoop or spoon arrangement - it's hard to imagine a less 'Mr Whippy' looking cone, in fact. But yeah. Love the photo.

Pep has a hyped up, super-expressive style. As fans we're still on the anxious side, mixed with put-on arrogance. Ilkay seems to act as a very neat counterpoint to all that. Humble, plain, calm. Also he really was THE midfield mastermind, wasn't he?

I'd leave it to those in charge to decide what to do if the opportunity came up. They'll know his thinking and the state of his body.

And now he might fancy a return, on a contract to ply his trade somewhere he feels he might get success again.

That’s what some don’t see. It’s a trade, and they ply it.

I don't care if we wants to, or not. If he comes, great. If he does not, I understand why.

My point simply was, don't get your hopes up as some here seem to think it is pre-ordained, inevitable or something along those lines. There are a number of people here who pined a long time for Leroy. It didn't happen and probably will not.

All this said, get excited if you wish. Why should I bother to try and temper anyone's expectations? I "live in Realville." I know many do not.

Carry on getting our the jelly and ice cream, ladies and gentlemen, over something that has a slim chance of happening. I am apologise for spoiling anyone's good time. :)

He’s 33

So he is, 34 in December. Doesn’t alter my point though.

I find it amazing how many most reliable top tier sorces there are every day. And how often they seem to overtake each other.

Great to get Gundo back even as a squad player. He is a leader and wants to be a coach. He would be fantastic for CFG and to help younger players.

I'm the sexiest man in the world as long as I don't have to take my clothes off and can hold my belly in for a minimum of 10 minutes.

You know the rules….
