Our best ever player

[SWPISHOME]

Kevin De Bruyne.

Not only is he City's greatest ever player, He's the best Premier League player ever.

Agreed mate but Silva was much the better player.

I'm not sure about that. Better at certain things but not at others. Dave was unique and probably the most graceful footballer that I have ever seen but I think we have had one or two better players; is Rodri one of those, not yet but hopefully we will see him play several more years in Blue and see him improve again.

Is it even possible to decide this? with so many great players, I mean how can you not say YaYa or David Silva so very different but both great, people could vote for Vinnie what a player captain leader, KDB one of the hardest working and talented midfield player I have ever seen true greatness.
Colin Bell the King unbelievable talent.

I prefer to look at them all as great the one I enjoyed watching the most was: David Silva and YaYa and Vinnie and KDB, Colin Bell, oh I give up they are and were all great.

Best is a big word. Best at scoring goals? Best at dictating games? Best at contributing to our successes ? Best at audacious skill? In their own way King Colin, Dave, Kevin, Vinnie, Yaya, Kun, Fern, Rodri and Erling all can make a good case. It must come down to personal favourites. Mrs S favourite all time player is Sergio for 93.20 and all his goals and for being ‘lovely’. I’m going for Kevin for his influence in our glory years.

Yaya doesn’t sniff the top 5 in all honesty.

I respect the opinion of those who disagree but for me he wasn’t even a top 3 player of his specific side.

KDB, Silva, Kun, Kompany, Rodri, Bell plus probably Trautmann, Haaland and Lee would all be above Yaya.

In all honesty, that's crap.

Yaya is very much top five. Aside from being technically superb and physically an absolute beast, he was also a mentality monster who delivered decisive performances in key moments (that have been listed many times). Among his many strengths and claims to fame was being the best penalty taker or club has ever had (even better than Franny).

Favourite and best are obviously different things.

I do think that when Kev finishes his City career, he will have a very good case for being declared the best player of the Premier League era - ahead of Henry - and that would make him our best ever: let's be honest, he can do very special things that Colin Bell could not.

De bruyne. Between him and David silva, imo de bruyne cl performances were a lot better

I was only a nipper when Bell was in his prime but imagine how good he'd be nowadays on pitches you can play crown green bowls on.

Kinky was a diamond in a pile of mediocrity. I doubt any one player could have saved us with Alan Ball at the helm...

That's true. I remember Kinky looking shoulders hunched downbeat a few times. Probably thinking to himself - "what the fuck am I doing here"!
