Kompany & Silva Statues

[oakiecokie]

David made me smile with his thoughts right at the end ... "they`ll even look good in the Manchester rain."
Two well earned and deserved statues for two magnificent players. Just awaiting to see Sergios next year (I assume).
Wonder if its the iconic QPR game when he takes his shirt off after that goal ?

One thing I'll never quite get over is not getting to watch Merlin play for us again. He was my favourite ever City player and it's hard to think of someone who could replace that. The finished products look great.

He’s the greatest player I’ve even seen for City by a mile. It’s not even close.

People compare him to Colin Bell and while that’s probably fair, I’m too young to have seen him play in person.

I do know that when I first saw Silva I couldn’t take my eyes off the way he just floated around the pitch completely effortlessly. His little floppy haircut just added to it.

It must be how Barcelona fans felt when they saw Messi come through.

KDB may well end up being a “better” player objectively, but nothing will come close to the pure joy Dave brought.

2 of my top 5

The other 3 KDB Yaya and Aguero

Aguero on its way.

Yaya, I imagine, has blown it.

My all time favourite is KDB and I’m sure he will get one when he retires.

Just watched the video. 3 times in a row.

Wow. Just wow.

Still hard to gage scale, but some if the shots of him working on it, his hand next to the badge, his tools next to the neck, suggests they are huge.

The wireframe models themselves are fantastic, as are the working mockups and sketches, I hope the club turn those into high value items that can used as gifts. If nothing else, include versions of them in a display somewhere within the public areas.

Well deserved, Sergio next.

And top young players wanting to come here, worth paying attention to these and the recognition this club offers.

I hope the professional lighting team is there to make them look good.

It is Beswick. Probably been nicked and sold for scrap overnight.

 

[hihosilva]

I have to say they look magnificent

 

[Eccles Blue]

I take it the Sergio one will also be by the same sculptor? Look a bit weird if anyone else. :-)

 

[Inter Me Nan]

God I miss watching David Silva play football for us.

 

[Akira]

Lovely. They look fucking fantastic.

Silva one looks immense. Not as convinced by kompanys pose but it's still a great effort.

 

[supersonicblue]

Can’t wait for the serge one they look class. Despite Yaya being an idiot a lot of this wouldn’t have been possible without him, I think he’s owed recognition.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Who ever made these has done a remarkable job, an absolute brilliant piece of work

I love the Vinnie one, it’s almost a thou shalt not enter my kingdom unless you’re a blue

That looks fantastic.

Any chance of uploading the Silva one if u can? Cheers mate.

I by no means dislike it, the David silva one is perfect there's just something that seems ever so slightly off with the vinnie one for me and I'm not sure why. I think it might be the fact his head ks bowed so far down. I'm sure it will look magnificent when I see it in person.

 

[GortonBlue62]

Commercial opportunity here surely?

Twelve inch replicas would look great on anyone's desk or mantlepiece (do people still have mantlepieces?).

I think the video explains the reason that particular pose was chosen.
