Our best ever player

[No1 was Colin bell]

Kev a genius. Bell a generational talent. Yaya a beast. Same with Rodri. Kinky mesmerising. But for combo of genius and consistency think it has to be David Silva. Just. Or Kev. Or Colin the king as he’s the reason I support city. Arghhhh.

Dave for me. The epitome of class both on and off the pitch.

 

[hagster]

David silva without a doubt! Discussion over!

Worth sticking a poll up?

It's amazing how many players coming up in this discussion often shared the pitch with each other. We have been so very, very lucky, especially in the last seven years. Looking back, it really is no surprise that we got 100 points and won the domestic treble with players like Kompany, D. Silva, De Bruyne, and Aguero in their prime and minds like Pep and Arteta in the management team.

No other team in the history of English football could produce a photo like this.

Can anyone find a comparison of Aguero’s goals to XG compared to Haaland’s?

I presume XG didn’t start until midway through Sergio’s career but we can still compare the data sets with what’s available. I thought it would be a simple google search but I can’t find it.

Best I can find. Unsure how reliable it is.

Spanish Dave.

Can’t speak on the older generations but the best in my lifetime, for me is Kevin De Bruyne. Delivered big goals and assists year in year out.

Silva as amazing as he was, for much of his time here he frustrated the crap out of me with his finishing. However he did put it all together in the centurion season which was arguably the best individual season I’ve seen from a City player.

Kdb is the best, better than david silva if we are being honest with ourselves. Kdb is probably top 3 PL greatest of all time. David silva was brilliant to watch, and extremely skillful, but nobody beats kdb's productive output and numbers
