KDB or David Silva?

[jaseisblue]

This is a tricky one, I dont ever recall Silva having a bad game, where there’s been times I’ve thought Kev needs subbing (usually games where his radar is a bit off) but then again maybe I’m looking back through Rose tinted specs.
I think they are both legends though.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Impossible question. They offered different things. Kev for cavalry charges downfield and exquisite, perfectly weighted, medium and long distance passes and stunning goals. Dave for incredible control in tight situations, enabling him to play right up on top of parked opposition buses, eye of the needle passes, never giving the ball away and incredible consistency. Dave will be my favourite ever City player until the day I die, but there’s no science to that preference. You’d could make just as good a case for Kev.
Our privilege to have watched the 4 greatest midfield players (in terms of filling their own unique roles) in PL history. Kev, Dave, Ya Ya, Ferna. Salute them all!

Imagine both of them in this team.

They’d probably get 100 points

 

[RayCTID]

Both highly gifted players but different playing styles. Both worked well with each other in the same team under two different managers.

 

[meltonblue]

We got 100 points with both of them as our main cms (which is still the most underrated and genius thing Pep has ever done as a coach).

The answer will always be both, never a need to decide between them.

KDB for me, I literally feel like I’m watching a football god when he’s in full flow, like against Arsenal the other night. David Silva was great, but perhaps it’s the entertainment value from Kev that tips it.

The thing is he’s got it all, those powerful bursts of speed, passes that no other player on the planet makes regularly (not even Messi), good work rate and press ability. The complete midfielder and the best in the world, ever.

 

[Frankie lad]

David Silva is the most beautiful footballer I've ever seen. I'd rather have Kev in the team. I say it everytime a player leaves but if Kevin leaves City without winning the Champions League then the world is a joke

Good words and each one correct.

 

[justsaying]

very different players

Neither a patch on terry cooke

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

I've thought about this question KDB vs Silva few times and everytime i struggled, it's like have to choose between your 2 children and being asked who you love more? So for me they're at par with one another in terms of stature in club's history regardless of how KDB ends up

Here’s one, which ‘spine’ do you go for:

Hart
Kompany
Yaya
Silva
Aguero

Ederson
Dias
Rodri
KDB
Haaland

 

[Silva2-1]

At one time we had both in our team.....how good was that.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Different players so vary tough to answer.

For me though Dave is still the most graceful player I’ve ever seen kick a football apart from Messi.

 

[Millennium]

If the young Silva plays in the current City team, he will be better than the old Silva not necessarily better than KDB. Silva came when City was in development and progressing to be a champion. He and the other players achieved the first title in this era. I am not saying Silva is better, but with different times, coaches, and players, all these factors must be considered.

 

[Ali B's Heel]

Hart
Kompany
Yaya
Silva
Aguero

Ederson
Dias
Rodri
KDB
Haaland

That's an even better debate as both Silva and KDB are legends in their own way.

I believe the 2nd is more 'Pep' so emotions aside, that's got to be my answer. They'd control the game better.

Ederson is perfect for how we play as is Rodri, coin toss between Silva and KDB, and Haaland has broken the PL goals record in year 1.

 

[Saddleworth2]

When you look at our midfield over the last 10 years, it shows what class recruitment we have:

David/KDB/Bernie/Gundo/Rodri/Fern/Yaya/Samir/GazBaz/Milner/Nigel

I dont think another team in the world would be able to produce a list like that. Ok. Maybe Barca/Real.

Not bad 5 aside teams are they.

Think you’re probably right though.

 

[hihosilva]

This is like asking who is you favourite son

 

[aguero93:20]

Replace Yaya with Dinho and that would be some 5 a side match up, couldn't have Yaya though, doesn't track back.

Has to be the second one. I never liked Joe Hart and fucking him right off was the absolute best decision Pep ever made. (We won't mention Bravo season).

Fernandinho should replace Yaya in the first one aswell. I remember him never breaking into a jog over 180 minutes of a CL semi-final, throwing his toys out of the pram over no birthday cake and calling our clubs greatest ever Manager a racist, just as much as I remember the good parts. Great player when he could be arsed, not a legend for me, and he was after the first Pellegrini season.
