Love Sergio, David, Vinny and Yaya and co but Kev is better.. we just won the treble and could get four on the bounce all whilst he has been the fulcrum. He’s that good. Take Messi out of the equation and he’s probably been the best and most consistent player in the world the last 4/5 years.. none of our other former greats were at that level.

Horses for courses, but when you even try to compare players, it’s hard to look past what KDB has delivered for almost a decade at the top.
Players come and go, but he has been there for years now and the players that play with and around him know.
In 5 years, we are going to asking if Rodri has taken his mantel or not!

It’s tough to compare between eras, but hard to look past Kev.

If he had played for any other team he would not have been anywhere the England team.He was a good player, but had great PR. One trick pony but in fairness it was a pretty good trick. He could put it on a sixpence if he had time and space.

No, I wasn’t.Roberto Carlos would like a word, although I doubt you were at that game! ;-)
Maybe I should have said, "That I’ve seen live".
You mentioning Roberto's has reminded me of Michael Tarnat's at Blackburn:

That’s nonsense mate.
He was picked 115 times by eight different managers.
You honestly think the likes of Eriksson and Capello didn’t really think he deserved a place but picked him anyway just because he played for United?
For me it was also Henry but in my case Karl Henry.Non City Henry. City Spanish Dave. I was compared to Henry when I played, unfortunately it was Paul.

Yes but he often wasn't peak was he. Do you remember the games where he just wandered around doing fuck all leaving Ferna run completely ragged?Peak Yaya Toure was easily in the top 5 best players I've ever seen.
KDB has been consistly top, top quality for nearly 10 years. I agree on his day, Yaya was unbelievable though.

Depends if your taking consistency into account. Actual best is Yaya, most consistent would be Silva followed by Rodri.
Kdb and Stones would be right up there if it wasn't for injuries. We have had some great runs without kdb in the team. Not sure you could say that about Rodri or Silva.
Non city player has to be Henry.
Best city keeper ederson
Best defender stones
Best midfielder Silva
Best striker Aguero
