If that is the Kompany statue then no wonder some people are saying it doesn't look like him!

The statues are as impressive as they both were as a human being, player and professional.

 

[pudge]

Silva's thankfully looks a lot better

I don't care much for the style of them, I'd much prefer the traditional statue style but at least it looks like them

Ur thoughts now

I was wrong, in fairness, they look really good, in the dark with lights on them, maybe not so good in daylight.

 

[HolisticJim]

Honestly put a lump in my throat (and my pants at seeing our Daves silky moves again).
Makes me feel so proud and really excited to see the Sergio one too.

He got a training pitch named after him. Attitude is equally important as performances, for me. These two are legends in every way.

Yaya hasn't the class of Merlin or Vinnie and purely exploits on the pitch are equally important as what goes on off it. Neither had a moments controversy in their years here and are perfect role models to youngsters

New matchday tradition for me, I'll touch David's left boot on the way in. Seemed to work OK today.

Not sure that's entirely true of Vinny.

 

[its a Barm]

They look fantastic, enough said.

 

[kalouk]

I absolutely love them. I love how the sculptor has captured the strengths of both players. It must be lovely to have a talent like that!

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Love them. Like the style of them. Class.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Think they are both fucking mint.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Think they are both fucking mint.

You can get a nasty rash from that.

 

[Iamthemusicman]

Guess I'm in the minority but I think they look hideous. Different isn't always good. Don't know what's wrong with the traditional bronze style.

 

[Yarisken]

I'm going to visit Manchester with my son after covid to watch a game. These statues add up our trip :-). Love them.

 

[SamTheGuru]

I really liked the presentation video. Will have to come up soon to see them properly though.

 

[EricBrooksGhost]

Look fantastic; for me they're better than the typical statue.

Proper classy!

Just wish Yaya was getting one as well, criminal if we leave him out!

No it isn't. He was a world class player but his and his agent's contempt for the club and management make it impossible. It would undermine the commitment and professionalism of David, Vinnie and Kun if Yaya got the same treatment. He got a mosaic and should be grateful for it.

It's far more criminal that Colin Bell doesn't have one.

Are you referring to that controversial moment he went to that old dear's house and asked her to put the kettle on?!
