Not much more to say than that.
I'll remember that Cup final against the Rags where he literally dragged us to the win
Agreed. We were clearly the better side on the day. Same as you, I was level with our penalty area in the first half (in the north stand, up in the gods), and was stunned when I saw the ref going over to the screen. Saw comments later on attributed to Schmeichel; apparently, even he said it wasn't a penalty, and you won't get much more of a rag apologist than him.That's funny, I don't remember it like that. He scored the goals, sure. We outplayed them pretty thoroughly, except for the last few frantic minutes. Utterly absurd penalty given against Jack — I was level with it, more or less, couldn't believe it. But for that, would not have been close.
Love Gundo but it would be the best for the both of us if he moved on. Am sure City would release him on a free as well.

My only concern is that we’ll be losing so many experienced players and leaders as well. That’s invaluable. That might mean next season is a transition season, as with so many new signings - who usually take a year to bed inGreat player, but with new legs in this position and needing to trim the squad, it's the right decision to let him leave
If we can let him, Walker, Grealish, McAtee go, maybe even Kovacic too, we'd free up almost £1m/week in wages and give more gametime to new signings and youngsters
Maybe , but on the other hand when players like Walker KDB Gundogan leave it gives other players a chance to step up that may have felt it wasn’t their place. Good chance some of Ederson, Dias, Rodri, Bernardo Foden Haaland and if they stay Stones or Ake become that player/s. They all know what it takes to win things.My only concern is that we’ll be losing so many experienced players and leaders as well. That’s invaluable.

Reluctantly?They need to get players out - but with Grealish Walker etc attracting zero interest I fear Gundo will reluctantly be the first they release
I can see us selling Kovacic before we let Gundogan go.
Sell em both, Nico G & Silva cover can cover both even before juggling foden, lewis etc around.Not this summer then as Kova is injured for 3 months! Gundogan is leaving imo
We need both to go if we don't want to end up with Echeverri and Reis and other younger players not making the 17 foreign player list.I can see us selling Kovacic before we let Gundogan go.
Bobbs club trained. He'll make every list.We need both to go if we don't want to end up with Echeverri and Bobb and Reis and other younger players not making the 17 foreign player list.
And we'll need more again gone (hopefully Akanji and unfortunately Stones too)
I think when Kovacic’s operation was announced, the guidance was that he’d be fit by August, so he could still be sold this summer if this timeline works out.Not this summer then as Kova is injured for 3 months! Gundogan is leaving imo
Oh ya. I'll edit him out.Bobbs club trained. He'll make every list.

Gundogan has nothing to do with the other 2 even with Walker, Grealish and Phillips gone 2 or 3 from the non homegrown list need to leaveThey need to get players out - but with Grealish Walker etc attracting zero interest I fear Gundo will reluctantly be the first they release
Doesn’t really matter anyway, loads of players change clubs while injured, no big deal not like it’s a break or an ACLI think when Kovacic’s operation was announced, the guidance was that he’d be fit by August, so he could still be sold this summer if this timeline works out.
Unfortunately I suspect you’ll be right about both Kovacic and Gundogan going, although I suspect that Guardiola would dearly love to keep Gundogan.We need both to go if we don't want to end up with Echeverri and Bobb and Reis and other younger players not making the 17 foreign player list.
