Welcome Gundogan!

Just realised that even though Pep lives a midfielder and has said that he'd sign whole squad of them if possible, we potentially don't need any more, provided we can keep those we have fit?

MF of Gundogan, Silva, Fernandinho, KDB, Sterling doesn't sound bad at all. I also think that if he doesn't leave, which he easily might, Nasri could be a very Pep style player. Add Delph & Fernando literally doing nothing but pick the opposition's pocket and keep possession and Navas being told to ignore people who say he can't cross a ball and just get behind the full-back and pull it back and you've got 9 perfectly capable midfielders there. (I've probably forgotten someone too!)

I'll get excited once he's over his injury and played a few months solid for us. Really hope we haven't bought another sick note.

Exactly how I feel about this one to be honest

Anyone know when his debut is likely to be ?
Of course not, a bit worrying.

You sound like a fooking bitter Rag with those comments.

Now, I was slagging the new badge on here the other day but it looks very good there next to that bald head.

If he`s not a Rag then I wish fookers would read more of the bastard thread.However you are correct Kaz,we are being infested with the twats.Their tears taste deliciously salty.

We have a number of high quality players.

Gundogan could be an absolute revelation for us next season. His close control, desire & vision are mouth watering.

From taking a moment, I can only think of Gascoigne at his very best as a comparison, but of course I'm sure there are others.

A very good comparison, never even thought of that, (mouth salivates). Let's hope he's up and running as expected for next season.

Probably asked before but what sort of medical will he have had?

Well, full disclosure:

I have been unsure of how to feel about this summer. Last season left me cold and feeling uninspired about the future. Not trying to be gloomy but it was such a mess last season. Along with that, I was nervous as to who we would actually get.

As has been pointed out many times in this thread today, this is surely the first sign of "The Pep Effect."

Might sound whiny here, but I'd like to see the rest of the business sorted out ASAP so we can just move forward and assess wheat we indeed have once the dust clears. There are surely outgoing players on the horizon along with the incoming. Still, this is a superb first piece of business and I can feel my spirits recovering a bit. Might sound crazy, but I was really worried that last season's record and the uninspired style of our overall play would hurt us this summer trying to do business. Maybe not, eh?

Can't wait to see this fella link up with KDB behind Kun. Could be sublime. Certainly the type of player who will help play "Pep=Style" football.

lol

If YaYa were to accept his legs have gone and give up the glory to revert to holding midfielder (that he dislikes but has done very well before), it could free up more dynamic players around him. He could look at it and think that it's a final chance at success by using his remaining talents the way they're best suited. Is he turning down moves because he wants to continue playing at the highest level, or is he waiting for a particular move?

He's not turning down anything I reckon, his agent is just playing hard to get and wants to get the highest offer, but can't get him to leave the European top 5 leagues. My moneys on Inter. Pity really, we'd get a decent fee from a Chinese club.

I believe he had the same "Are you alright?" once-over by a first-aider that Roque Santa Cruz passed with flying colours.

They will look at his medical records and do some tests to see if there´s anything else to worry about.. A bit like having the surveyors taking a look when you buy a house.
