Goater said he was to good to play for us at the time he said he would make great runs yet we didn’t have the players at the time to pick him out

I know what you meant mate, just made me smile.Not really, a lot of weirdos didn't like him but I thought he was great, took us over the line to success but I thought he was wrong to drag him off like that, fucking yank commentators booing about disrespect, you could blatantly hear a whistle before he did it as well.
Maybe boiled my piss was over the top but you know, it is the internet and you have to go all in sometimes.
If he could have “forgiven” Tevez earlier, we would never have had the 93:20 moment, but would have stopped a fair few heart attacks within our fanbase!

He scored at Anfield I'm sure he did,in a 3-2 loss,i was there
A top 10 of Silva's prem goalsGoing round in circles here like Silva did in the centre circle against Arsenal , beats going backwards and sidewards and keeping it ticking over
Stick Kinkladze's best 10 prem goals up mate be an interesting watch.
Round and round in circles but not down ;)
As for the backward and sidewards comment, you really must hate our style of play tbh.

Yeah I remember it but not much else.
His exit seemed bigger than his entrance at the time

Don’t be nasty.
Kinkladze only scored 7 Premier League goals, 3 of which were for Derby.

I thought you had been going as long as me , he only got 4 I think in the prem for us not bad in a side that got relegated, I can put up his goals against Boro , Southampton and throw in the West Ham cup goal they where goals “better than Messi “ could only dream of .
Regards the style of play not one of players passes it quite like Silva he finished it with a little flick of his hair to .
Regards your second paragraph you can have that .

Silva played over 300 prem games for us and scored 60 goals so average of 5 a season what’s your point ?

You really can't stand the thought that most on here would rate David higher than Gio. A quick tip for you; ignore the thread if you feel so strongly about it. Your blood pressure will thank you for it.Silva played over 300 prem for us and scored 60 goals so average of 5 a season what’s your point ?
He's alright Jim, it is just a bit of fun :)You really can't stand the thought that most on here would rate David higher than Gio. A quick tip for you; ignore the thread if you feel so strongly about it. Your blood pressure will thank you for it.

But it's okay for you to have digs at Silva's lack of goals (which was never why he was in the side, but anyway). Okay. As I advised (not told) you, ignore the thread.Ha ha blood pressure, I actually get that are fan base rate him more highly than Kinkladze I only say anything when Gio gets slagged off

But it has the potential to turn a bit bitchy Alf. On both sides. "Banter" is fine, no problem with that. As long as it stays at that.He's alright Jim, it is just a bit of fun :)

Yes because they had a dig at Kinkladze’s goal record ?

It was quite clear.

This is fair enough, i get this. Most of the criticism i give Gio is because of others putting down Silva or Benarbia, when i loved watching all 3 for us really. One thing i think youd agree with though, is that Kinkladze certainly underachieved given his talent.
Rule changes since he played have helped the likes of Silva flourish, as its harder to kick these players out if the game. In some ways it would suit Kinkladze better to play now - however, would his skills stand out as much as they once did? Nearly every midfielder or forward in City's Academy now has fantastic technique, but its only the ones with added drive and teamwork who survive.

I did say in another post, "on both sides" of the argument. Anyway, I've said my piece. I trust folk on here not to derail the thread with "differences of opinion" on a specific player.Yes because they had a dig at Kinkladze’s goal record ?

And club captain of the ChampionsI said this for years. Fantastic leader of men, good defender at best. Too reactive as a player to be considered 'great' imo.
