It was bad enough watching Yaya and Daveeed drag themselves through their final season with us, playing one season too many.This.
All else aside, it is time.
Everything else, is just pure sentimentality. And naivety.
Agree, in his current role he's not got the legs to consistently perform at the level he has over previous years, that said give him a deep lying role we could easily get another 2/3 out of him.I don’t believe he has 2 or 3 years left at the top. I really wish he could have and if he did I’d love it to be in the sky blue of City. I’d like him to stay and do what he can as often as he can but I don’t think this is the best of Kev, that’s gone unfortunately
Looking forward to it if I’m honest.I have got visions of this place going apoplectic if Kev joins the scousers kissing the badge in a welcome video exclaiming he moved to a bigger club to win more things :)
Looking forward to it if I’m honest.
I’ll drive him there myself.
Except his passing has also been quite poor this season and he's never been great at the defensive side of the game (apart from pressing). I just can't see him in that role to be honest.Agree, in his current role he's not got the legs to consistently perform at the level he has over previous years, that said give him a deep lying role we could easily get another 2/3 out of him.
Less running, he's still got the fight/spirit in him to protect the defense, whilst spreading the ball all over the pitch- got to be worth a try surely.
David went on to play at a high level in la liga for a few years, Kev could benefit from the same playing abroad.It was bad enough watching Yaya and Daveeed drag themselves through their final season with us, playing one season too many.
Pep has explicit said this season he needs players who are fit and available to play. We need new fit top class players who can play every 3 days.
I have. You don't usually answer a rhetorical question yourself, hence it being rhetorical.Have you not heard of a rhetorical question before?

I wouldn't be surprisd if Gundo chose not to trigger his extension. Might still stay, but I could see him moving into management rather than playing again as much as he has this season.Yep - Fernandinho and current Gundogan are further sobering examples of players who hung around for one season too many.
The reality is his contract is up this summer, whereas both Bernie and Gundo still have a season to run (and Kova has two).
All will leave at the end of their contracts (unless we can find a buyer) - and Kev just happens to be the first on the list.
Personally I’d rather we got rid of Gundo ahead of him, but unfortunately the contracts are the way they are.
So who leaves instead? And how do we force that to happen when they're all under contract? Someone's got to go to make room for the legs and energy we desperately need in midfield.Agree, in his current role he's not got the legs to consistently perform at the level he has over previous years, that said give him a deep lying role we could easily get another 2/3 out of him.

R u ok hun?The one thing it would do is put to bed this 1960's idea that players have to be loyal to one club or indeed that they are loyal to one club.
I just hope we don't become like an abusive ex partner like the scousers do if it does happen and treat Debruyne like an ex partner who moved in with someone with a smaller knob and be done with it.
City's decision about Kev isn't personal, it's business. He just happens to be the first of 7 or 8 players who will leave when their contracts expire.
There's been some weird posts on here over the years, but this has to be up there with the weirdest.I just hope we don't become like an abusive ex partner like the scousers do if it does happen and treat Debruyne like an ex partner who moved in with someone with a smaller knob and be done with it.
I’m coming round with 3 boxes of Prosecco and 20 bensonJust allow me to compose myself for a minute.

Didn’t Gundogan say yesterday he could play another 3-4 years?I wouldn't be surprisd if Gundo chose not to trigger his extension. Might still stay, but I could see him moving into management rather than playing again as much as he has this season.
