How about finding a quote thats not from someone who knows jack shit and, instead, find one from the guy who decides if Aubameyang is leaving? Its from 1 day ago. Im sure your grade school level investigative skills can find it.

Ill wait.


I've heard from a bunch of sources now that Aubameyang is going to move, he has asked to be left out of the national team in order to get the move sorted.

Quote from Costa: “Aubameyang asked me not to be selected because he is in the process of changing clubs.”

Of course we could believe Watzke and his idiotic quote but then again this did happen:

"Joleon is simply not for sale. I have always said that we are not selling any players and that hasn't changed. We will continue to work with him as we appreciate his many qualities as a player. "

You know, right before we signed Lescott.

The club is a fickle bitch, I though it was just me ;-)

Can't actually see any articles on there about it either, just the notification.

Delighted to hear it's done, I really like Gundogan from what I've seen of him at Dortmund. The fact that he's injured takes the shine off this signing somewhat but once he's fit we'll have a serious player on our hands.

A statement we want ball playing entertainers. Whilst the scum are linked to ditching talent. Have a nice day.

I like him already..

"“I’m thrilled to have signed for Manchester City,” said Gundogan. “When I learned of City’s interest my heart was set on coming here and things have moved very quickly."

Top signing!

Unfortunate he is injured currently but it's nothing to fret over, will be back soon enough. I'm delighted!

I've heard his knee-cap will be joining us in July for £2 million.

Anyhow, happy to have him with us. Great passer of the ball and he works hard, which will hopefully be contagious (not least with the bar staff at half time).

Grabbed a few stats and quotes on the new lad,

"Gundogan has again shown this season at Dortmund just what he can offer and the 25-year-old has statically outperformed all the central midfielders in the current City first-team. He averaged 80.9 successful passes per game in the Bundesliga compared to Yaya Toure's 57.4, Fernandinho's 56.7, Fernando's 38.1 and Fabian Delph's 28.4.

Gundogan also averaged one chance created per game -- only lower than Toure's 1.4 -- had more successful dribbles that City's four midfielders with 2.2 per game and made more interceptions: 2.3 on average per game."


"Klopp hailed Gundogan's influence saying: "He has turned into a real strategist. It is extraordinary. Not many players can do that. Many players can play in a small space, play fast and do a lot of great things, but to have such vision, such a passing game, such an eye for the situation, is extraordinary and makes him an extraordinary player."


"The biggest concern over Gundogan's arrival is his injury record. He played just 57 minutes in the opening game of the 2013-14 season before missing the next 15 months with a back injury. And he could be out until September with his kneecap issue.

But the positive aside from those major setbacks is that Gundogan has been relatively injury-free. He missed just five of Dortmund's first 43 games this season and last season he missed five of the 38 matches played after recovering from his back injury. In his previous two seasons he made 73 appearances in total.

At 25, Gundogan still has best years ahead of him -- if he can avoid any more significant problems then City could have themselves a real gem."
