Yes, maybe even foot Suarez's dental bills to boost revenues.
Man City players all wearing Gundogan shirts tonight
- Thread starter Red Ryan
- Start date
Minute 5:15, Sanchez sees Bravo and then notices the Gundogan shirt and asks him about it.
Maybe someone who understands Spanish can translate what they're saying.
What drama queens City are.
Well... this was weird.
This sort of thing commonly occurs among clubs in the Primera Liga, Pep is trying to create a culture of team unity - the mocking of it reveals the cultural gap left to bridge
ha ha, "team unity" isn't wearing a bunch of t-shirts you are forced to wear, that's fake PR nonsense.
Can you show me a few example of this is in La Liga @FCBarca ? Did Atlético do this for Augusto some weeks back?

Taken to its natural conclusion teams would be wearing tribute shirts every week, injuries are common enough. It would not, however, be a unprecedented gesture if Gundogan had racially abused a United player.
Just like with Hargreaves (when we signed him), it's a gamble that looks like it hasn't paid off.
I wonder what similar injury ridden players that have moved for relatively big money have failed (and in the other side of the coin, succeeded)? I'm guessing most of these sorts of signings fail?

Whatever anyone thinks of it, and I must admit I found it a little cringeworthy myself, it most definitely wasn't "disgusting" and it's hardly anything to feel "ashamed" about. Those are the kind of words you'd reserve for the the child sex abuse story in football that's been broken in the past month and as a Chelsea fan, you might want to reserve those words for the alleged pay-off your club made to one of the victims in the past few years rather than footballers wearing shirts in support of an injured team-mate
ACL injuries and being on the shelf for up to a year is not a weekly event
Globally it absolutely is.
This was the players idea and it reveals nothing. It was just unusual and mildly funny (even Gundogan joked about it) but if they continue to do this every time one of their players gets seriously injured then fair enough.
Pep burns half of the stadium.
Barca fans: "Pep was trying to explain to the players they should play with more fire. People being shocked clearly shows that English arent suited to those kind of things."

It certainly happens in La Liga, and it's season-ending injuries like ACL injuries or major leg breaks that usually triggers it.
Wasn't Delph injured for a long period of time this season? Did he get a similar treatment?
Vinnie five heads would have a whole wardrobe full of shirts.
What cultural gap, exactly?
The one between England and Germany.
So Hull are wearing Mason t shirts while warming up today. What are people's thoughts?
Understandable, the man's career may be over.
Completely different, Mason ended up with a very real risk to his life. Gundogan required crutches.
Well done Hull.
In addition to it being a far more serious situation, I also find it less cringeworthy that Hull wore them A) during the warmup instead of during the walkout and B) the proper way round instead of the way City did it, which made them all look like 5 year olds who'd gotten to school without their mums noticing their shirts were on backwards.
Was life threatening, career could possibly be over so definitely a lovely touch.
Thanks to top1...
Classier than City doing it as Ibra's career is most likely over as a result.
Was embarrassing when City done it but completely fine for us obviously.
I agree.
Tbf, most of the initial replies were critical of the OP. Most people thought it was fine.
Yeah of course..
His career is not over. Maybe at United, but Ibra is such a strong, fit and professional dude we've not seen the last of him. The guy is in better shape and healthier than most 25 year olds.
Exactly.
This is a major injury though and one that younger people struggle to recover from, i'd say there's more a chance of his career being over than not to be honest.
Egg on face.
I've got to admit my main reason for thinking City's was so cringe was the fact the names were on the front.
They were also cheap looking. This looks like proper training gear.
Well that puts the end to anyone thinking players read the forum, kinda cringey, injuries happen in football, this kind of devalues the sentiment of having names of victims names etc on their backs, should really be reserved for tragedies of some kind, not injuries (unless it's horrific in which ends a career).
