All the best Gundo. Remembered more for his 1st stint at the club, but for sure club legend for all he's done for us!

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

I doubt he is fully off it.

Granted this is probably a bit of a technicality, but it sounds like we’ve agreed a payoff with him which no doubt covers the majority of his final year’s salary in a lump sum - so he probably is off the payroll, even if the net financial hit for City is more or less the same!

 

[Palerider]

Brilliant player. Possible future manager?

 

[Damanino]

we might bring him back next summer.

 

[I'm Blue]

All the best Gundog.
Another legend who helped win the lot, gone.

Don't really like this, feels forced, I understood getting him out to bring in a foreign right back but this just seems for the sake of it. He would have been useful imo, his experience is priceless and for me if you asked me at the end of last season who I'd have rather kept over him and Bernardo Gundo every time for me.

Hated the stick he got last season being forced to play every week in a position he struggled when he was 26. A true City legend, shame the return didn't go so well.

 

[Suffolk Blue]

And he wept, for there was nothing left to conquer - Hero of 22 May, all the best to him and his family

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Wonderful footballer, it’s been a privilege to watch him over the years.
The winner v Villa and the the volley after 1.5 seconds in the cup final the standouts for me :)

Quicker than I thought. But it still trumps Dennis's backheel as an example of how to stuff the Rags.

 

[thebiglug]

Good move for all parties.

Legend.

 

[TonyM]

I'd have preferred to keep him ahead of Bernardo. Yes he was poor at times but he got stronger as the season went on.

But ti's wot ti's.

A legend imo. Best of luck and happiness to him.

 

[madloaf]

I'm choosing to ignore that he came back. Wonderful servant and class act. Future manager.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Another City legend leaving.

 

[its a Barm]

Top guy and a great professional good luck to him and his family, talking to turkish people in istanbul and they said they didn't like him because he chose Germany over Turkey to play international football, be interested to see if that changes.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

The sooner he’s back at City with his coaching clipboard and in the dugout the better.

 

[Ashton Moss Messi]

Pep's first signing.
It was time for Mr Whippy to leave the building, I didn't want to see him have a "one too many" season this year.
He will never be forgotten for some fantastic years and performances. Treble winning captain 2023. Fastest Cup Final goal.
Expect to see him end of January against Gala in the ECL for one more farewell wave.
Hope he will be back in a couple of years in a coaching role in the future.

Fair enough

Was thinking the same. He was class by the end of the season and far more likely to influence a game than Bernardo. Not having a dig at Bernado as obviously he’s been an amazing player for us too. Another absolutely bizarre decision by the manager to make a player captain though who should be at best a squad player by now. Not quite as bad as letting captain cock out be chosen by the players last season but still kind of typifies where we’re at after another transfer window.

Rodri should be captain, it was a no brainer for me.

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

12 fucking seconds i shouted when the ball hit the back of the net against the raggies. That and the Villa game means he’ll be forever a club legend to me.

iyi şanslar evlat, umarım senin için işe yarar.
