David Silva new appearance record for MCFC

[aguero93:20]

Sparky’s great legacy.

TBF, Mendy will have quite a few more medals than our previous Costa Rican sicknote.

Croque's medal collection is actually quite impressive from his time at Bayern. His contribution to winning those medals though...

Future projections for City aside, does he have a World Cup winner’s medal for excellence in team morale?

“Mrs Silva, can your Dave come out to play when he’s finished his tea?”

LOL.

Croque? No. 5 leagues, 6 cups and a CL all for the price of 4 or 5 goals a season for 6 years or so though. Good work if you can get it.

Indeed, especially given the state of the Bundesliga 1999-2006.

Fairly sure you and I could have done a job for Bayern during that period.

I’m guessing KDB or Foden?

Kev or Bernardo

There was this lad called Alan Oakes...

It's annoying isn't it? By putting up a fake PL record it actually belittled the genius of David Silva rather than emphasising it.

I am glad that Alan Oakes name has been brought up in this thread he deserves to be acknowledged as having the most appearances for City in our history as a club.

However we should also not be reluctant to acknowledge that David Silva has set a new record for City appearances in this modern football era since the the format of the new Premier League was formed in 1992. David will not get any awards for reaching this new figure, but not all bluemooners will know that David has reached the top of appearances in this modern football era so why not put this out there. Those who don’t want to acknowledge this don’t have to come on here.

Nothing fake about this record.

The issue I have with distinguishing Premier League as opposed to all time records is what about the likes of Ian Brightwell?
He made 320 odd appearances for City that straddled both pre and post Premier League stats (and yes some of those were outside the top flight too) so his overall record is higher (to date) than Silva's but he slips through the Premier League list of high appearance players because his first 6 seasons record is wiped out. Same with Steve Redmond, David White, Paul Stewart (with City and Spurs) and Andy Hinchcliffe. (City and Everton)
