This gives me the same vibes of when Gundo got injured and his teammates had shirts on with his face like he passed on lmao
Yeah this is the same, like… as tribute? The guy is still alive. I thought he died the first time I saw it!

Gundogan, but never forgotten.
Get out
City vs Barcelona in the CL knockouts is gonna be awkward
Why would it be awkward? It’d be nice seeing him at the etihad again
What about Benjani?
It's a training pitch, not a statue guys. They already have multiple training pitches already. It's a nice little tribute to a player who contributed to the club for 7 years.
Really thrived under Pep, incredible player
How do I get there from the Fabian Delph parking garage or the Scott Sinclair memorial bench?
So much history this club lol
Weird to do this to a player who is still active in Europe and you can still play against.
Happens when you have no history.....
It's just a training ground, not really that weird if you ask me
It’s a flex .. City is 100% confident should they face Barça they would trash them
It's a training pitch, it's not too big a deal. City built Aguero and Silva statues while they were acting players, now THAT was weird.
Bold of you to assume we make it out of round 16
Why?
Because its embarrassing
There a lot of things that can happen that could make him not be loved by the fans any more. He could score in a final and make them lose a trophy, he could injure your best player I don't know
He could go play in a country that preaches hate and murders journalists and masterminds/funds terrorist attacks in order to get paid to say they’re not sportswashing while saying he didn’t do it for the money…

Serious Question: Who are City's legends from before the Qatar takeover?
Qatar
UAE*
Franny Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee, Bert Trautmann, Frank Swift, Peter Doherty (though this is arguable as his city career was massively cut short by WWII, but he was still fantastic for the time he played for us), Alan Oakes, Billy Meredith, Neil Young (not that Neil Young), Eric Brook
Trautmann, I remember that name from somewhere. Is that not the guy who played with a broken neck?
Empty tinpot club
Richard Dunne should be feeling aggrieved.
People jumping the gun here. It’s a nice tribute to begin with. For all we know, he’ll receive a bigger tribute in years to come. Napoli didn’t change the name of their stadium until Maradona died. It’s always a risk paying tribute to someone in any profession to a large scale before they’ve passed incase they do something absolutely insane like murder, sexual assault, etc. Not saying Gundogan will because he seems like a decent man but other players have.

Damn city really doesn’t have any legends
I don't get this, i don't care about City really but you people used to moan about the club not having history, but now that it's being written as we speak, it doesn't count because, what, it didn't happen 80 years ago? I'd say sticking around for a decade and captaining the team into a treble is pretty much worthy of this kind of recognizement

These city players for the last 10 years have won more than 90% of PL legends.
Their first CL win is a historical milestone for them and Gündoğan happened to be the captain, it makes sense to me that it has significance to City and they wanted to honor this.
It's also not like they renamed the Etihad to the Gündoğan stadium (I don't mind that tho). They certainly have more than one training pitch so I don't see the reason to overreact over this.

I for one can't wait for the Erling Haaland Centre for Kids Who Can't Score Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.
"Erling, the files are IN the computer"
The sequel of that movie is terrible but has some good jokes.
What is this? The Erling Haaland Centre for Kids Who Can't Score Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too, for ants??
Question for United fans, how many players from the 99 treble side are legends for you? Does half sound about right
I’d say 7/8.
I think it probably helps that they played the majority or all of their careers at United though, which is possibly the issue people may have with Gundogan here.
That’s a good argument. I’m looking at the squad and 7 sounds about right. How do you feel about players like Beckham or Ronaldo who spent more years abroad than at the club?
I included becks in the 99 squad. I’d say it was probably more 50-50 United vs abroad for him, but it helps that he’s a United fan and still talks quite passionately about United.
I probably don’t think of Ronaldo as a United legend. He was an amazing player who went on to be one of the worlds best, but the best moments of his career were definitely not in a United shirt.
United haven’t named any of their toilet cubicles after Jesper Blomqvist though.
Rent free. On a thread about your own legend all you can talk about is United.
The Kevin Gundo Silva field.
This comment thread is top tier. Almost up there with the time city donated all those AED machines
The Gundo.
