İlkay Gündoğan

[Windhook]

We just signed the current top form attacking player in the world. And still I'm not overwhelmed with joy given his age and the short term perspective ahead, just like Lewa.

 

[DonAK]

He'll be a very good signing I think, but his age and Xavi makes me a bit worried about how well he'll work out in the end.

class signing

🚨💣| BREAKING: Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona - HERE WE GO! [@FabrizioRomano]

 

[jamrock]

We just signed the current top form attacking player in the world. And still I'm not overwhelmed with joy given his age and the short term perspective ahead, just like Lewa.

We also signed a 18 year old, who is one of the best young attackers in the world.

So they are doing it on both fronts

Just adding some prospective.

 

[Jaguar]

Wonder signing will do great for us, for 2 years.

Really looking forward to him playing for us. Modric still Real Madrids best midfielder at 37 so at 32 Gundogan definitely has potential to be just as vital for us, experienced world class midfielder free transfer, bargain.

 

[Co0ter]

If we sign him despite almost the entire forum being in favour of his arrival, if it doesn't work out perfectly, a significant amount of posters will be using their incredible powers of hindsight to say something along the lines of.

"We signing a 32 year old gundogan, while city signed Mateo Kovacic for 30m euros, Laporta doesn't know what he's doing".

After the player he's been for City and being free, I can't imagine anyone would be coming up with some shit hindsight take about a universally solid deal.

 

[Co0ter]

He'll be a very good signing I think, but his age and Xavi makes me a bit worried about how well he'll work out in the end.

First thing I thought was Xavi will find a way to mess it up.

 

[jamrock]

After the player he's been for City and being free, I can't imagine anyone would be coming up with some shit hindsight take about a universally solid deal.

I guarantee it will happen.

 

[Porque]

Gundagon can play under 38 in Spain.

 

[Sailor Mars]

Hope he isn't the only signing for the midfield and a DM comes in too.

Midfield was a bit light last season and at this point the Gundogan signing just replaces the minutes Busquets leaves behind.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Let's hope he is going to have a couple of decent years left.

9m gross and less than what City is offering? Really? Why would he take a pay cut to join us? City is offering a shorter contract?

 

[jamrock]

Signing us differing 1+1, we are offering 2+1.

 

[Porque]

The +1 is if he plays 50% of games in second season. That's not a bad clause really.

Would be shocked if he accepted less than what City offered though. Perhaps it is true and from Pep perspective, he is in the mood of refreshing the squad with someone younger and with something to prove.

Good job from our board. Now sign brozovic
