Ilkay Gundogan

[jimharri]

I have a Spurs mate who enjoys watching this clip with the same fascinated horror that City fans watch Jamie Pollock's own goal v. Middlesbrough.

*cough* QPR



Assuming you're on about THE own goal to end all own goals?

 

[Coatigan]

Gets announced before Pep’s press conference today?

Na, Gundo will just do the conference. He is after all replacing Pep.

‘By Wednesday night, the band were back together. Guardiola, Gundogan, Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain were at Catalan restaurant Tast, toasting the captain’s comeback on an initial one-year deal. The free transfer is set to be formally completed on Friday’ - from jack gaughan new article

The best, or should I say worst, own goal ever.

Forget all this tap in v Villa stuff, his finest moment is being responsible for the greatest ever PL comedy face plant

It was beautiful footwork from Mr. Whippy as usual, love the alternative commentary for that game.

Especially with how it rips shreds out of poor Davinson for the face plant...

Not sure gundo can expect to come back and take the armband or the number 8 shirt, nor would I want him to. But it's a great move to bring him back.

Maybe he doesn’t expect either of those things

I don't think he will. Just read few things about him bring the returning captain and kova having to give up a shirt. I'm sure he'd wear the armband at some point during games but I think it's important the achievements of last year's squad, when he was in Barca, are recognised also.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Can someone explain the nickname Mr Whippy?

On another matter I’d staggered if he expected to be captain (unless voted by the players) or to get Kova’s number 8

 

[Protein Junkie]

what i also love about this besides the return of a great player is all the supposed ITK twatteraty getting outed as complete KFA's
Taking a punt on 5pm or 6pm announcements and nothing happened. Im sure there will be some excuse alog the lines of slight technical issues in the contract or media of the annoucement as a reason for the "delay" to their suppposed info but everyone knows they are chancers....

They all just want to be first in line with the Scoop :-)

I think this was on Sky and then on MoTD and I remember hearing Linekar laughing in the background at how funny it looked as the defender face planted the pitch. It just shows you how brilliant footwork can put you off balance. Great player, is Gundogan.

Gets announced before Pep’s press conference today?

I'd imagine so.

Pep will get bombarded with Gundo questions whether it has or hasn't been announced anyway, so it's probably easier to announce it first so he can give straight answers.

I love these alternative commentaries. #missed.

 

[PragueBlue]

Can someone explain the nickname Mr Whippy?

It came about from the alternative commentaries during the Covid season when crowds weren't present. It was after he whipped in a shot from distance if I remember correctly (possibly against Palace?).

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I could be wrong but I don't think it's 'that' imminent.

I'm sure it'll still happen, my quids on Saturday and a wave on the pitch but, normally by now someone pops up to say City have done some filming for the announcement.

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

If he's not announced soon maybe we've hired an ice cream van early this morning, so he can be filmed serving the club staff and teammates...

That'd be a perfect intro followed by a goal reel, while the Mr. Whippy theme from alternative commentary plays.

Comes Pep to get a ice cream after the practice and comes Gundo to hand him the ice cream

Gundo looks straight on the camera and says "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! "

Credits roll

First the news he wanted out of Barca, then Pep agreed. Next showed Ilkay at Barca Airport. Then he's on a plane with about 4500 eager blues tracking him. He lands and then is spotted in Pep's restaurant.

And now he seems to be playing hide and seek.

Feels a bit 'after the Lord Mayor's show' this : l
