Wonder if they would recognise Silva if he was stood at a bus stop now?

Merlin has always had magical timing. Even this announcement is well timed. It’s gives all of us time to reflect upon his pure genius.
His artistry cannot be questioned. The football field has been his creative canvas.
The pass to Edin in the 6-1 is one that I will never forget. But beyond that, his warm character and deep humility represent the very best of what City fans want from their players.
As he quietly returns to Gran Canaria at the end of the season with little Mateo by his side, he goes knowing that he will remain forever in our hearts and minds.

I'm not really one for statues, and certainly don't want to see them dotted around the stadium.
However, the embers of the first tangible cycle are now flickering.
I would rather see something which acknowledged the true greatness of the collective?
Sergio, Vinny and David.
City's rebirth.

Our Dave has very few equals and even fewer peers. That pass to Edin is one I'll never forget. What a privilege it's been to watch his wizardry in full flow and in our colours.

I was nearly banned for an earlier post when I suggested the same and, like you, left out Zabs :)
I loved it when he so mesmerised Arsenal that that they just stood and watched as he turned a great languid circle to reboot the attack. Hypnotic.
Oh yes I remember that one now! As I watched couldn't believe it as he truly made them look like fools!

Haha.
Yup, I think Zabba doesn't quite get statue status if talking direct impact on the pitch?
Toure had the impact but not the class off it.
I have no doubt that thousands will be on the pitch on the final day of next season to ensure David is carried off shoulder high.
Vinny denied us that opportunity.

Can't remember, but it's all over tinternet.

His best goal was a defeat at West Ham, Outrageous.
Moyes tried to kick him out of one game at home to Everton. He left Rodwell going out for hot dogs before slipping in Milner for a goal.
10-men away at Hull, arguably his best performance in a City shirt. That and 3-0 Wigan at home (Sergio hat-trick) I took my lad to his first game that day for his third birthday.
