Gundogan is the ideal addition to the Barcelona team. I'm trying to picture what the Barcelona frontline players will look like with Gundogan playing with guys of his caliber like Lewandowski, Dembele, Balde, and Pedri. If these players are to be fixtures in a particular match against a team, Barcelona will end up winning the match.
The arrival of Gundogan at Barcelona is a blessing in disguise for Barcelona while a loss to Manchester City.
I don’t think it’s going to be a loss to Manchester City after losing Gundogan to Barcelona. Pep is not that dull to allow such transfer to take place if he has no solid replacement for him that’ll be able to keep the bond in the team stronger. Gundogan is no doubt a good addition to Barcelona but I don’t see it less of a big deal for Manchester City losing him to them. Kovacic who was said to have replaced Gundogan is a great midfielder and I’m certain he won’t take long for him to bond with the rest of the teammates and employ his expertise to the midfield of Manchester City this coming season.
I don't see this as losing, it was a beneficial agreement for both teams. Although Ilkay Gundogan was the captain of the team, I don't think he was the key name of the team, he had an important role, but there are other alternatives to play his role. We will see a different central midfield game in City this season. Chelsea are really falling apart one by one, how will the team be re-formed, big losses were experienced last season, they say goodbye to their good games this season. I have no doubt that he will adapt to City Kovacic, communicate with his teammates in a good flow.
