Think I'm in the camp where I am happy enough for Gundo to come back (low risk deal) but also disappointed that we've not taken meaningful steps to address the position for the future. Unless we really believe Nunes can have a breakout season, and there's been no indication we believe that, our 6 options are getting on. By June next year our midfield options for 6 will be Rodri 29, Kovacic 31, Gundogan 34.
Tell me a better set of options at another club?
 
I think their point is that it's best to bring him in on a short-term contract, as players can decline sharply in mid-thirties and - while he's still brilliant and full of energy now - that might not be the case post World Cup.

I don't think anyone thinks he won't be a top player for the next two years at least. I certainly think he has a lot to contribute for the next two years at least. It's just after that when you get to 36 and over it's really getting very old in footballer terms (yes even in this era).
He's a top player we all know that.
