Kompany & Silva Statues

[Keeper!]

Ridiculous for an old fart like me but this pic makes me feel so sad....

makes me proud and grateful I was around to witness it.

To be revealed next week. Be interesting to see what positions image they pick and here they are placed. Can’t wait to see them.

Surely the unveiling would include them both being present? Not sure how that works with their commitments?

I was wondering the same but Real Sociedad are definitely playing Saturday afternoon so I can’t see Merlin making it

shame as I’d like both to return to be part of the unveiling and for David the fan send off

Said it before but this doesn’t sit comfortably with me for some reason, I think it is too soon. I don’t dispute the contribution they’ve made, clearly some of the best players to pull on the shirt.

My gripe is we should also celebrate our amazing pre-takeover history, why not statues for the likes of Eric Brook, Colin Bell, Francis Lee, Peter Doherty etc etc. Just seems a bit too soon as I said, especially considering our long history.

Either way it’s well deserved & we were truly privileged to watch these lads for 10+ years in the blue shirt.

No team will ever achieve 100 points again in the history of football. It's not too soon. I think it's a shame some of these other legends like Bobby Moore weren't still around when their statues were built. Actually while we are at it we should erect some football legend statues in Manchester City Centre starting with Colin Bell. Manchester has an incredible sporting legacy which is famous across the globe but you wouldn't know it in our city-centre.

Outside the East Stand, apparently. I'll be saying hello on my way in every week then!

Me too - shortly after my usual greeting for Joe Mercer :-)

The way Chelsea have started and are playing I wouldn't be too sure of that?

Back to topic.

Poor Vinny looks like they’ve taken his ball and won’t let him play.

So they’re a bit better than CRonaldo’s Niall Quinn lookalike bust then?

 

[yeseye]

Hopefully they are better then some of the more recent ones!
