KDB or David Silva?

[Isaac the Forgemaster]

They are different type of player. One is to control the rhythm in the final third while another is to speed up the match by sending killer pass or shooting directly. There is no need to compare.

Spot on. Silva was amazing but at times it was the simplicity of his play that set him apart. Obviously he was truly gifted but a few (not many)other players had his technical ability but couldn’t run a game like he could.

On a much lesser level of where we were at back in the day. Berkovic could run a game for us like Ali B (probably due to Ali not having the legs by that stage of his career)and loads of player could not do. Loved watching how he’d just keep the ball and get it back until it was the right time to play the killer pass.

Really think Foden could take his own game to another level if he gets to play centrally more this season and can really kick on. His passing is very under rated and utilised as much as it can be whilst out wide. Also as we seen in the champs league final if he beats a man with skill centrally he can be in on goal more often.

Yep,that pass for the Alvarez goal against Madrid was superb,especially when seen from behind,he "chopped"
the ball so it slowed up into Julian's run,giving him a split second to feint to the right before scoring in the oposite direction.

On his day KDB. He just produced more. More goals more assists. Silva was brilliant for City as well.

KDB is awesome but David for me best player I’ve ever seen at city in the 40 yrs I’ve been going

 

[arcademik70]

I love Kev. I love them both. Dave is the correct answer though. With all the bias in the world, he's the best footballer I've ever seen in a City shirt

I haven’t got any kids.
I am nearly 59 so old enough to be both their Dad.
This is like being asked to choose their favourite child.
Impossible.
So I have decided to choose the child I had with Miranda Hart after a drunken fumble.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Silva is a huge personal favourite. In this era, I’ve only like Aguero more.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Neither are as good as Bruno RatFace

 

[Dazzle84]

Both incredible players and almost certainly the two best to ever play for us, but when it comes down to it Dave has provided me with more pleasure and I am basically in love with him.

This.

I totally understand how others would choose de Bruyne. But Silva sparked that love in so many blues. And he ran the 6-1 too

 

[chaddblue]

KDB is the greatest player in our history. I've been saying it for a couple of years and the treble confirms it

 

[Bill Walker]

I don't like to compare but KDB for me. Him and Colin, our greatest ever players.

 

[city2]

To me I don’t need to choose who is best because I have been fortunate to see these two World class players both played together for my club.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

David Silva is the player I've enjoyed watching the most, his touch, flair and ability to dictate the tempo of a game was a joy to watch. Having said that, I remember a friend of mine saying to me "Silva determines how well we play, but doesn't win matches on his own". Whilst I'm sure there are many examples of Silva winning matches, I agree that he didn't have as many of those moments as KDB, Yaya, Aguero etc.

If we're talking about which player you have enjoyed watching most, mine is Silva. If we're picking one to win a match then I'd go with KDB. But it's been an absolute privilege to have seen them both play for City and several seasons in the same side.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Different players with different attributes. Both breathtaking, but it’ll always be Dave for me

 

[Mike N]

KDB

 

[mdj0520]

I'll always rate the players from 2012 above anyone else.

This is the thing I think a lot of fans outside of our bubble don't get. Because 2012 was so life changing, especially in the way it happened, I don't think anyone touches that level. Kdb is ultimately more effective and more decorated than Silva, but he wasn't the first like they were.

Silva, kompany, Aguero, and even Yaya just can't be topped in my eyes for being the ones who properly shattered the glass ceiling.

Domestically not internationally

Head - KDB
Heart - Dave

That one will live forever.
The Hull away game for me was his greatest in a City shirt.
KdB though is on another level in my humble opinion so I would have to go with him.

Fair enough choosing De Bruyne but i don’t think the treble confirms it. Would be like saying it means Dias is better than Vinnie, Gundo is better than Yaya.
