Our best ever player

David White said:
We’ve had a lot of phenomenal talent and at 42 years old it took a while before I’d seen greatness in the flesh in a blue shirt, apart from the great David White, of course. I loved Yaya and Kev is a wonderful, wonderful footballer who is probably the most effective player we’ve ever had, but for me, technical brilliance and vision I think David Silva edges it.

He could do everything, despite being tiny. That assist for Dzeko (you know the one) is the greatest control and pass Ive ever seen.

Criminally underrated in my opinion.

He also didn't mind kicking an opposition player who took the piss every now and again. One of my favourite memories of him is one of his later derbies when he took it on himself to boot one of their little shits.

We're really privileged that these types of discussions are now a genuine debate with multiple really strong and deserving candidates.

When I was a kid, despite having never seen Colin Bell play I just readily accepted he was our greatest ever player and for years there wasn't anyone who looked like changing that. My Dad and his mates all to a man are still adamant the answe is still Colin Bell, which they're obviously entitled to believe.

I'm torn between a few players Aguero, KDB, Yaya and could make a case for another few. Rodri, in partcular now has a very, very strong case. If I had to choose one I would go for David Silva. He had some incredible moments for us, but he wasn't particularly a moments player. He dictated the pace of play, had time on the ball and rarely lost. He was just a wonderful player to watch aesthetically. That might not be something which is fair to judge a title like this on, but the debates are always going to be subjective and it's fairy hard to look at while someone is still playing. We're just very lucky to have seen these wonderful players, with hopefully more to come. Watch it and drink it in.

Yeah, I was raised on the Lee, Bell, Summerbee video that I think was the curriculum for blues in the 90s and never questioned Bell being the best until Silva

Colin Bell was my favourite player, in that terrific era.

But I have since been priviledged to watch David Silva, Aguero, KDB, and so many other truly talented players.

I consider myself very lucky, especially as dad was a closet rag !

Rodri and it is not even close. He is the best midfielder to have played in the premier league.

KDb is the best attackimg midielder ti have played.

Haaland will be up there if he stays.

Kompany, Merlin and Yaya are also near the top of any ranking.

Mate there’s literally no way in any universe you can think Rodders is better than Dave was.
