Welcome Gundogan!

[kaz7]

Potentially an extremely exciting signing. Just hope we haven't bought a crock, though. I've read stuff that indicates that he has history, injury-wise.

Though technically of Turkisk descent I think it's time for a chorus of "Gundogans grandad bombed old Trafford".
How I miss Uwe!

maybe not...

Just to add some context that's 73 out of a possible 105.

14/15 he was coming back from a year out so he wouldn't play that many,last year was a few more,more than enough and no more a risk than anyone else imo

 

[Vienna_70]

He wore 21 and 22 earlier in his career, but with both those numbers gone, maybe he'll go for 12? Similar numbers. . .

I say this hoping he will go for 12 ;)

It's a long time (if ever) since we've had No. 12 in our starting XI, so that would be a good number for him to take.

 

[Vienna_70]

What's wrong with his back?

No one seems to know. That's why he has problems with it.

I'd say slightly more but nothing to be overly concerned about.

Pronounced gun - doo - wan - great singing!! Proper battler

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

It's a long time (if ever) since we've had No. 12 in our starting XI, so that would be a good number for him to take.

He could make it as iconic as Vinnie's number 4 or Yaya's 42 or Tevez's 32. . .

 

[SexAndManCity]

don't read the comments section under the BBC article.
Apparently we've bought an overrated, overpriced, permanently injured, non-academy graduated, non English midfielder that nobody has ever heard of...

 

[stony]

The best part is the United fans now saying he is shit when this exists.

Ilkay has released a video response to that image.

 

[Spontaneous1]

Will be a good signing if he can stay fit for you, that is a big if however. His current injury is nothing to be laughed at either, being known to cause pain on occasion years down the line. From a United fans perspective I'm glad we didn't sign him, have enough injury problems as is. Could be a very Hargreaves esc signing for you, great when fit, but rarely in a state to play.

 

[levets]

has anyone thought up a song for him yet?

Ilkay,Ilkay gundowan, Ilkay gundowan, Ilkay gun doh oh wan. ... GreekTurkish or Jewish song... We all know it. 'Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na. Na Na Na Na Na Oi'.....

Imre, imre varadi, imre vara ar di

[mosssideblue]

Great Signing. August cannot come quick enough so we can see our new toys in action

 

[Demosthenes]

73 games played in the last 2 seasons. I saw him compared to Hargreaves earlier. Somebody actually called him Hargreaves mk2. Jealousy does strange things to red people.

 

[aguero93:20]

Silky Ilkay! :) Happy enough with just that one signing.

 

[bondsman]

If we can get him fit this is a mega signing!
