More chances he turns out to be another guy who wanted a nice retirement in a great city. On the fence over this transfer.

One thing to remember too is that managers with a system mold their players to fit into their respective systems. This means that even if they perform well in one system, there is no guarantee that they will fit into ours. That is, if we even have a system under Xavi (as far as attacking is concerned, beyond playing the ball out to the wings). 😁

Great midfield, but we need a new LW that can actually dribble a player and a backup striker...

More chances? Based on?

It's a pity we didn't get him back in 2016 because Lucho wanted Arda

Could have had a Modric or Kroos-esque impact for us back then. We might have had another CL title or two as well.

Arda signed in 2015 though, 2016 was the youth movement and getting Gomes

Fc " ultra short term transfer strategy" barcelona.

Shambles

32 today is like 28 10 years back

He is good for 3 more years

Barcelona routinely signing the second biggest club in Manchester's rejects. How the mighty have fallen.

They wanted him to stay, check their forum they're gutted

 

[Andresito]

He's going to look like a slow ass grandpa in our system.

But overall I'm happy with the transfer. Looking forward to seeing him.
Wonder what number he'll get, 5 or 14 perhaps.

Age? Lack of motivation due to just winning everything at City? Our current squad? Xavi being a bum? Him being a good player in a very good system, but otherwise not some world beater?

Gundogan is hardly a reject. Their current captain and was playing every game.

Granted they signed two duds from them prior but Gundogan is a good signing.

I smell man unt fan who is dying because city won 20 trophies with 400mil less spend in last 10 years.

The bigger worry is Xavi than Gundagon.

Xavi couldn't make his favourite player Busquets work until he switched to a 4 midfield system 14 months later.

Meanwhile Pep has John Stones looking like Busquets in midfield.

 

[BJJ]

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