Nah, you don't need scouts to recognise a bum when you see it.

Bayern had interest yet weren't stupid enough to place a bid. All this talk about a bum nobody wanted.

We managed to pay an inflated price in an auction no one else was taking part in. No other big clubs wanted him all these years. Bayern would have scooped him real quick if he was top class, but he isn't. Euro hype + no planning/scouting has pushed us to finally sign him after years of fans...

Maybe Lyon would have agreed for some deal if it meant selling abroad instead to a rival. Didn't we agree Roque last summer but got him in Winter?

In the EPL we would have probably been mid-table. Like it happened for likes of Chelsea and United. This La Liga is so shite that it's very hard not to finish in CL places.

Barcola's a great player but we chasing Ferran, Roque or begging Nico Williams.

Money down the drain. We'll get the same money we got back for Douglas.

Championship at best.

Three bums and a retiree. We move! :mou:

But we didn't buy him as a RB, we bought him as a top LL CB who had offers from the PL. So once we present a 5 year deal there's no going back, player gets paid the same. Anyway, Kounde's salary is not inflated. Our issue as fans is just a psihological one. If these players would actually...

My thoughts exactly. He'll be back come January 2025 :lol: Then off to Brazil for eternity.

Nobody is paying money for a semiretired player. You lot are acting as if this guy is in his prime.

But he is washed up and looking for a retirement home. Already retired from international football.

He wasn't bad, just not much of a real impact when it mattered. And when you factor in the price we payed and the trophies we didn't win...

His contribution was clear, just a different gravy when having the best team around you and the best manager. He never was top dog in midfield for City or Germany NT

Yeah, they're getting him for bit part role, most probably coaching role also. Gundogan is near retirement, he isn't the player from two years ago. And there's a big difference from being a cog in a well oiled machine and coming to a struggling team to lift them up. Gundogan was never this...

He'll be back in Brazil or Saudi in two years time.

He didn't expect anything. Some in here are always coming up with scenarios. We were playing Europa League before him joining. The guy is not an imbecile. He was basically near his retirement and found a huge club to pay his vacation for a year. Now he goes back to get another bonus at City...

Mate, it doesn't tell us anything. Could be just as well Laporta telling him there is no money to pay a retiring kebab and we are overloaded on that position anyway with Olmo coming in. Gundogan is done anyway, that was evident at the Euros. Flick is a begger that should thank his lucky stars...

Iniesta was hyped as "Baby Barca" when he was in La Masia. Pep and Xavi where rambling how he will retire them both. Xavi was the best player at that '99 U20 WC where Spain won the competition. You have either a short memory or have got accustomed to the current media hype that puts a spotlight...
