King Kev or Colin The King

[Oyster28catcher]

Room for both. Always! Thankfully team sports have more than one engine.

They'll only ever be one King and he played on a green field called Maine Road.

Green???? Twas a heap of mud!

I was only old enough to see Bell play in his testimonial so have to go with what my Dad says. Hands down King Kev. Bell wouldn’t even be second. Silva gets that spot according to him.

I'd love to hear from Timmy on his relief that he wasn't going to have to choose between Parker and Savage for his biggest OSC idol

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

The King is dead, long live the King!

 

[Nightmare Walking]

I'd say Yaya is the best midfielder to ever play for City. He had a touch just as good as Silva and could pass the ball like KDB. Yet, I have never seen another player do what he could. He was a big game player as well.

 

[Lord Blue]

Too much respect for both players to choose.

 

[skybluepower]

Kevin is the greatest ever to put this jersey on

 

[kit's blue]

Both amazing footballers , why choose who was better . It has been a true privilege to have seen the two kings play . As for a KDB statue , how about the KDB East stand instead .

No City player and not many players in football history have done what De Bruyne has done.

I’d argue that the top 3 midfielders of all time are Zidane, Iniesta and De Bruyne.

As much of a City legend as he is, as well respected across football as such a fantastic player as he was; Bell isn’t rated at that level.

Colin was and still is my hero, again my dad loved him but always raved about Peter Doherty, also loved Frank Swift he couldn't believe the size of his hands.
Dave was a totally different player, Colin had twice the engine as any of them, what he could do with a ball today nobody knows

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I hate these comparison threads. Both world class, both played for us. That's good enough.

 

[moggymoz]

Fernandinho for me, the most underrated player to ever grace the Premier League.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Spanish Dave

Has to be in the mix also.
Absolute class.
Kev is showing his age and injury history a bit now, but the guy was phenomenal.
Speed of thought coupled with mastery of ball control and vision was unsurpassed during his time with us.

Colin for me holds an immovable place in my heart though. Don’t forget the game was a lot tougher back then. They were kicked around with relative impunity.
Colin’s stamina was unequalled. Box to box. Defending, attacking, scoring.

My first boyhood crush.

Dunno who Indapuziel FC are but they had a couple of cracking players.

 

[failsworthblueboy]

Green???? Twas a heap of mud!

Only after they had ran the dye off it.

 

[come-on-barney]

Colin, but if you add David Silva to the mix, Silva for me.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Both. Love and respect them both.

 

[asahartford1]

Not much between them

KDB has two great feet, Colin the king 0just one foot. Colin could tackle, and run all day, KDB just more cultured, and elite vision

The bottom photo looks like Wyn Davies and Kevin De Bruyne.
