For a free transfer it's an absolute no brainer of a signing. He knows the system, can play 6 and 8 so gives us that Rodri cover he's a leader and he's a great player more than anything. He's also loved in the dressing room.

We've fell lucky with it, but it's a fantastic move all round.

For a season he is a City player whether it is the right call is highly debatble.

'Highly' is a stretch, everyone is entitled to their opinion but im happily siding with the greatest coach to have ever lived over someone who completely made up Gundogan was declining in his last season with us.

Thought you were leaving the thread yesterday by the way

I feel a lot more confident of retaining the league with Gundo in the squad. Can't wait to cheer him on the pitch on Saturday. Absolutely buzzing now.

Will he do a public signing on the pitch pre match.

If so, I hope the club announce it early enough for the ground to be full !!
 
Anyone know if he's had a pre-season at all with Barca, i.e. is there a chance he'll be on the bench Saturday?

"Disappointing" ? Lol.

From what I've read I think about 95% of blues have the feel good factor about Gundo returning but we're always gonna have a few 'end is nigh' lizard lipped miserable cunts amongst our flock not happy about something, Damien, even though there's nowt to be disappointed about.

I don't know how old you are but I've spent over 30 years feeling disappointed watching City lose against teams we should have beaten and drowned my sorrows amongst fellow blues with good banter and sing songs, that's how we got through the 'bad years' together.

We didn't have Internet back then so we'd moan in the pubs and stadiums to each other but we always backed the lads on the pitch wherever we went(well most did) and belive me, some players weren't worthy of backing or praise and I bet Richard Edghill wished he was stone deaf on hearing the vitriolic abuse he received at times which was totally out of order IMO.

The truth is we've never had it so good these last few years and when we sing "City, City, the best team in the land and all the world" we really are, and I still get the odd goose bumps 'pinch me' moments because I sometimes find it hard to comprehend how bad we were to how good we are. And when you think about it we used to sing that song in the mid 80s never ever believing we'd ever become the best team in the land or the we world, even though they were(or felt like) that in our hearts.

Our success won't last forever so drink it in and cherish these moments of cup lifting celebrations and rejoice, but never forget where we've come from because one day we may find ourselves back there, and if we do and I meet any miserable blues bemoaning "we're disappointing" in a pub I'll smile and sup up sharpish and fuck off out of the door before they have chance to flatten my pint and leave me feeling flat; )

"Disappointing"? Lol.

We've never had it so good, like I said...

And Gundogan retuning has ramped up my excitement more that I ever thought possible, bring it on: )
