Ilkay Gündogan | Rejoins City

Isn't it typical though .. we signed ton of players from BVB who all failed miserably here including our current flop Sancho, meanwhile the only BVB player who managed to succeed in England signed for Man fecking City. You can't make that up.
Only Dortmund player?

There is Akanji Haaland Aubameyang was top scorer for a season
 
He’s a ridiculous player. He’s dragged them to finals and trophies for the past 3 seasons now. Him going to Barcelona will be very welcome news for me.
 
How is it that the likes of him and haaland have improved massively on their injury record since joining city, is it city have great physio, medical staff etc..whilst dortmund were the opposite?
 
Why does he want to leave City though? Moving from a club is winning everything in sight, to a team in transition where he'll most likely get paid less as well, doesn't make a lot of sense.
 
I’m happy he is leaving them. Very good player who for large parts of his City career has been very underrated but has finally got the recognition that he deserves this season & last.

Don’t know if we are cursed or what when it comes to signing players from Dortmund. Whenever City sign a player from Dortmund they always tend to go on and do well - Gundogan, Haaland, Akanji.

Whereas on the other, our record when it comes to signing Dortmund players tends to go in the opposite direction - Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, Sancho.

I’m glad Bellingham is going to Real Madrid instead of Man City as he’d end up looking like prime Zidane under Pep over there.
 
He's one I would have loved to be playing for us. Liked him ever since Dortmund. Such a shame seeing him at City (and especially.spanking 2 volleys in against us in the cup final).

Playing under Pep is likely quite draining, he's earned a lot, if he leaves them after winning the lot he can enjoy Barcelona for the beautiful place it is.

Classy player.

Not paid well enough and not long enough contract offer.. :wenger:

His wage is way below KdB, Haaland, Cancelo, Grealish, Foden.

Assuming City players would earn less (Sterling, Jesus, Zinchenko,.... Gundogan) is like a consolation to the fact United player like Sancho is on 350k/week :lol:

Forget Haaland or De Bruyne he is Citys most important player.
 
Is it just me or does he not look like the captain in the fictional team in the Ted Lasso TV show, he certainly reminded me of him as he celebrated that 1st goal yesterday!

Dortmund medical team is famously shocking.

This should tell you more about United than about Dortmund players.
 
He is the nice canteen lady of a corrupt organization. He doesnt belong there
 
These kind of players are the ones I personally like the best. Believe they're known as water carriers. Nothing flash they just get on with doing the business and often without making the headlines. Newcastle for example wouldn't be where they are without Bruno Guimares. Even Henderson has had a big influence on Liverpool. All invaluable to their teams and loved by the fans and coaches. Gundogan being a prime example. With a bit of class thrown in as well!
 
I remember being put off by his injury history. Back problems are usually clear signs that a player will spend more time in the doctor's office than on the pitch.
 
Rumours he's coming back to Manchester.

Wonder if we can get revenge and get him to do a Tevez on them.
 
great player. you know if he comes back to City he will make some massively important contribution at some point this season. he's that kind of annoyingly good player.

he should go to Turkey though.
 
Can't he just get lost, and stay lost? Sick of the sight of him in that horrible light blue kit.
 
Probably, but unlike Özil, Gündogan conceded that some of the criticism (the not personal racist attacks part) was valid.
Oh, definitely. I was just wondering what that strange poster meant with "bad morals" and the only thing I remembered was that idiotic photo.
 
If the idiots release him, we really ought to sign him ourselves. Perfect Kroos replacement

Get in line! He wants to come home to Bavaria (he played for Nürnberg... :lol:)
City seems to be the most likely destination and Barca can't really ask for a fee. I don't kow how Gündogan's stance is in regards to Saudi Arabia.
