It's a shame but this is the best way for it to end. Rather than him overstaying his welcome, he's leaving with us all wondering if he still has more to give similar to Kompany.

MOTM for me .
He still has enough in the tank a big mistake to let him go for next season.
All IMHO

He's a shadow of the player he was. I thought we struggled today largely because KDB and Gundogan did not have the power to support Doku and Marmoush so our game degenerated into keep ball. We had many promising attacks but each time the raider was isolated and ended up passing backwards.

We play KDB for the fleeting moments he gives us. It's the right time to let him go. It was a mistake to bring back Gundogan and play them together.
 
I think he's still a very good player, he's just not a great player and given that he still wanted 400k a week.. I think City had to say no.

But if a deal can be made at say 150k a week.. I wouldn't mind.

Think it's probably for the best though that he leave now vs like when Yaya left when he couldn't even walk anymore.

Who made the decision to fuck him off?

Looks like a pep brainfart.

Kev loves us.

Kev loves us, we love Kev, however, we can't keep him forever and we can't build a new team around fading stars on the basis of emotionality.
It's the right time for him to go and for us to build up to the next level.
 
Perhaps the more worrying thing isn't that he's leaving, it's that almost everyone's fit and he's still starting every game, which suggests there's no-one better than him (and Gundo) currently at the club. It's a really bad time for Foden to have a shit season.
 
I don't understand what we are doing with KDB. I mean I get it, sort of. But I don't.

He should stay in the squad in some capacity KDB coming off the bench even is a right luxury as long as he's fit (which he rarely is I suppose). Tough one, but not chuffed. Someone fix it! One more season!

He doesn’t want to go does he?

Tbf that's better than leaving withba tone of being fed up, a spat, or going for saudi money. Leaves everyone wanting more, preserves his legacy, glosses over the last couple seasons. I am ok with it.

Pep is letting him play every minute until he leaves, I get it if he’s fit he’s got 4 games left with us I expect him to start everyone, I think if he’d not been injured this season he would’ve got an extension but I think the decision had been made, we got caught out with sentimentality last season the board hopefully have learnt their lesson, Gundogan is here only because he’s activated his second season clause he will be gone next year or move to coaching. Kevs wages freed up for a big signing maybe Wirtz?
 
Hasn’t he come out and said he’d drop his wages to 150 grand a week? He’s definitely still good enough to come off the bench and change a game if we’re struggling. Think we might regret this one
 
I get the KDB decision but will seem strange if we keep on the other members of Dads Army, who may not be on Kevs wages but they aren't exactly working for peanuts
