Fully agree. An absolute baller and for me already a more important player than Silva.

Both of them are top players and both have certain strenghts the other lacks . silva is super player on the ball and has the skill to play in tight spces and dribble something de buyrne lacks . De bruyne is a more complete midfielder , he can cross and score from both feet and good in set pieces and
more importantly very efficient in scoring goals which silva lacks .

Both are going to important players for us many more years and i strongly believe that we still have not seen the best of both these two players
 
Not seen that much of him until he signed, but loved the fact that Wolfsburg fought to hold on to him and even for the HUGE fee there preference was to keep hold of the player. That made me think we where getting someone special and I now know that to be the case. Well done cheeky on getting us KDB

I just had to go and pour myself a drink so that I could spit it out!!!!

When he's been the main man in a team that's won more than we've won whilst Dave's been the main man, then you might have an argument.

Have I just been clarkied?

It's cringeworthy isn't it mate? It's like seeing spoiled kids with a new toy. David Silva is arguably the clubs greatest ever player. He's been the most talented player in the league for the last 5 years. Kevin De Bruyne has played 7 games for us.
 
When someone is as dangerous a player as KDB is and gets 5 goals and assists in 8 games or whatever it is then it really isn't that big a thing to say that he's more important than Silva. I'm not saying I agree with it btw - it's too early to call. I think we'll find out a lot on Sunday against united. Silva has proven over the years that he can be one of the most important players when we're getting the better of the better teams, if de Bruyne can look as threatening and get a goal and/or assist against united then BS might have a shout. I'm not pinning my hopes on it at this stage but I live in hope
 
Both Silva and KDB have their own strenghts. Can you imagine those 2 play 10 games in a row .... . They will wreck every defense.
Stop comparing them. Be glad both play for city :-).
 
Some seriously short memories being shown here. KDB has had a great start to his career here but after a few games he's already better than Silva? Behave.

The kid is not a big celebrater, he just claps his hands once if he scores and that's it. He is also very hard for himself and for his teammates, that's another reason why he doesn't look happy if he scores a winner. He is already thinking about the things he can do better next game, that's just how he is.

Hard to fathom. It really is. Why anyone would even want to pass judgement at such an early stage. Like you say, Silva is one of a pretty select bunch of greats this club has ever had. KDB looks like he could well be...but really, after 7 games, do city fans really think he's better than Silva?!?! The mind boggles.

I think it's actually pretty disrespectful to David Silva to even mention De Bruyne in the same conversation at this stage.

The guy has got huge potential, he's already scored some terrific goals for us. But I can't even remember him having one great game over 90 minutes for us yet! And people are saying he's better than the club's greatest ever player?! I just don't know what some people are smoking on here!
 
I might take shit for this. But is it sacrilegious to suggest he's already better than Aguero and Silva?

Love those guys to death, but KDB can do almost everything they can do and most importantly is healthy.

Yes, sacrilegious is a good word for it.

I guess absence makes the brain grow duller.

Prior to being targeted (for good reason) and hacked off the pitch, Silvas performances had possibly tipped the balance in the eyes of many as making him the greatest ever Man CIty player. That's greatest ever, in over 120 years.

A couple of good, maybe even great performances later and it's now de Bruyne.

I'm actually stunned at people thinking this, as you can probably tell?

Silva, however great his vision and control, has two massive weaknesses: his health and his finishing. And Aguero is nowhere near the playmaker KDB has become.

It isn't hype or dull brains, his stats indicate a better overall game than either. He is a producer of both goals and assists, and he is carrying us.
 
Different players, different positions and different attributes.

Celebrate us having them rather than arguing about who is better.

David has been top shelf for a good number of years, Internationally as well as domestically. Let's hope, and it certainly has started off very promising, that KDB continues as he has started. Compare them when they've both finished playing and hopefully they'll both have achieved everything they want with us.
 
De Bruyne just needs to work on his decision making in our own half. He likes to play direct which is great when you're attacking, but he just needs to learn to play it safe when we're trying to play out of danger. I've seen a few times where he gets the ball inside our own 18 yard box and he nonchalantly passes the ball back to someone. Hopefully he can work on it. No complaints otherwise.
 
Sorry, didn't mean it as a put down of Aguero and Silva. It took me 9 games to admit it because Kun and Silva are my favorite players.

KDB, skill wise, is top 5 in the world. Just IMHO. It was obvious from his first game as a City player. The way he strikes the ball is just amazing.
