Thank You, Ilkay Gundogan

[Stoned Rose]

This is a fucking big loss.

The most Pep of Pep players.

Be interesting to see how Pep tweaks things.

I remember perhaps 3 seasons ago, moaning in the match day thread, that him and Rodri in centre mid made us easy to pass through and pedestrian in midfield.

At that time there was an element of truth in it but their improvement in that intervening period is off the scale.

Farewell Gundo. Leader and Legend. All the best in your new adventures

Goodbye…

Probably the most exciting 5 and a half minutes I have seen City play and I have been going since the fifties. So many times Gundo has been the conductor of an exceptional array of talent bringing them together as a team. Good luck Ilkay.

The conductor and also the finisher. What a player he’s been. Thanks for everything Gundo.

It seems like every year we say goodbye to an outstanding player, that shows you how well run we’ve been for so many years.

I think you’ve nailed his legacy right there.

I was one of Gundo biggest critics in his first few seasons but my word I’m glad to eat humble pie - one of the most selfless players I’ve ever seen but when he was callled upon he turned up, showed up and bossed it - thanks Gundo and wish you all the best at Barca

Need to give the Mrs Gundos head a wobble though - Manchester is ace

 

[BlueCraigo]

The word Legend is used for good players. Far too many get that tag and they don't deserve it. Well Gundogan has won even me. He is a Legend. A absolute Legend.

 

[skillman]

Good luck, genius. What a fucking bargain.

Frustrated those cheap cunts are getting him on a free, though, but that’s how we operate it seems. If a player has given us special moments, we let them bow out on their terms. Basically for free.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Very disappointed to lose him, he’s been immense for us. Those title winning goals against Villa and the cup final ones against the scum stand out in particular, but also his skill and game management as well as what must have been inspirational leadership amongst the players. Proper City legend.

We need a world class midfield signing more than ever now.
