İlkay Gündoğan

Nah not if it takes more to sign him for Barca than City offering him which is the story so far apparently.

 

[akaranzo]

I don't think we should go for him. Great player but he's getting old and I doubt he'd have the same level of motivation for us. Screams of another Arda Turan or Wijnaldum at PSG type of situation.

 

[fergus90]

Gundogan has been a model professional his whole career and is the current captain of City, unlike Arda who was a hot-head and looked likely to drop off earlier than most.

He was 28 years old when Barca signed him, so his attitude was excusable given the fact he should've been still in his physical prime as a professional footballer.

To be honest, it's going to be hard to convince Gundogan to leave City for Barca currently anyway.

If City win the treble, he might feel like it's the perfect time to leave on the biggest high. So that could actually make it easier.

 

[FCBarca]

If he is so important to Pep/City & vice versa, he would’ve extended awhile ago

 

[khaled_a_d]

City has unlimited amount of money, so it will be OK for them to let an old player, even if important, since they can replace him.

 

[Deco]

Not impressed Gundogan vs Real Madrid in Spain.

 

[Birdy]

He was decent.
Man knows how to ball.
But of course he is getting old, intensity and runs are a huge question mark

I would still take him for the games that Xavi is clueless how to break buses.

SIGN GUNDOGAN

SIGN BERNARDO SILVA TOO

BEST OF CITY

WE WIN UCL

 

[JamDav1982]

He was slow and tired in second half. Made a good few bad decisions.

Sharper in first half.

 

[Horatio]

Not that great of a game. Still assist.

 

[vuji_31]

Too bad we are late 8 years.

Sport.es article from yesterday says that, we chosed Arda Turan over Gundogan.

Let's bring player from most opposite football style to replace Xavi/Iniesta...

Another Barto masterclass.

Lucho also responsible for this as he wanted him instead

Also in 2014 (Lucho again) we opted for Rakitic when Kroos' agents were constantly offering him to Barca.
Let's not talk about Modric now who was a diehard Barca fan before his move to Madrid

That says all.

Our board and managment is full of leaches and ex players and that kind of shit, they are just not good enough to do job.

Madrid is doing top job with getting players like Asensio, Camavinga, Kross, Modric, Rodrygo etc for small money and making them top players.

Also they sell better.

Our luck is that they sold Hakimi, T. Hernandez etc..

While we bring idiots for 60mil.

They also made mistakes, but 3x times less then our idiots

Лучо также берет на себя ответственность за это, поскольку он хотел его вместо этого.

Также в 2014 году (снова Лучо) мы выбрали Ракитича, когда агенты Крооса постоянно работали в его «Барсе».
Давайте не будем сейчас говорить о Модриче, который был несгибаемым болельщиком «Барсы» до своего перехода в «Мадрид».

He chose Rakitic because he needed a midfielder who was technically well equipped and did an enormous amount of work off the ball, since Leo was already passive off the ball. It was Rakitic who had to work on the right when Leo stood and picked his nose during the opponent's attacks.

Kroos is completely unsuited for this role, yes he is good on the ball, but he could never do the amount of defensive work that Rakitic did.

The same Vidal was bought to mask Leo's problems without the ball, and not because he was at that time a player of the level of Barcelona.
