Our top ten players since ww2? A tough debate.

[uwerosler28]

Marsh was a phenomenal talent , just bad timing., big Bert Trautman , Doherty and Revie are missing from your list, not sure on the rank though.

Anelka?

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Became a fan after David Silva's first goal so Oct 2010 - now hmm:

1. David Silva
2. Aguero
3. KDB
4. Ilkay
5. Bernardo
6. Rodri
7. Dias
8. Stones
9. Kompany
10. Fernandinho

Super Hard to leave Haaland out but same for Yaya, Mahrez, Nasri, Foden and I think the current 10 is currently the best 10 I've seen.

Haaland may get there eventually ahead of a few but David Silva is to me what Haaland is to many new blues.

I think we've had such a good time recently.. we might have to start doing TOP 20's.. not Top 10s!

Also Kindladze more naturally talented than anyone one your list except Bell and Silva

How do you "become a fan", your either born to it or not.

1 KDB
2 David Silva
3 Colin Bell
4 Aguero
5 Haaland
6 Rodri
7 Alan Oakes
8 Dave Watson
9 Gundogan
10 John Stones

Very hard to do this. I have only chosen ones I saw play live. It’s also very hard to choose between eras because the game ,and all modern sports medicine , nutrition and playing surfaces etc are so different. Also it’s much easier to respond to recency bias as my memory isn’t what it was either lol.

From the last 80 years,impossible to say.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Almost impossible But here is my top 10,

C. Bell (best player I have seen in a city shirt).
D. Silva (second best I have seen in a city shirt).
Kompany (The best city captain I have witnessed).
Aguero (the best striker I have seen in a city shirt).
P. Doherty (my dads favorite player just above Bell).
B. Trautman (dad said he was a great keeper & just ahead of Swift in his opinion)
N. Young (I dont think he got the credit he deserved, fantastic player)
F. Lee (A vital part of a great team)
R. Marsh (My hero when I was a kid & still one of the most skillful players I have seen)
KDB (Probably the third best all round player I have seen in a city shirt)

Hopefully Haaland gets in the list in the next couple of years,
Toure was very close to getting in but not quite,
Kinky was a ray of sunshine in dark times but just missed out,
Summerbee & Doyle were also very close,
I could go on & on & on...............................

 

[route46]

My lifetime

1) Silva
2) De Bruyne
3) Aguero
4) Kompany
5) Toure
6) Fernandinho
7) Rodri
8) Dias
9) Walker
10)Gundogen

Tough to leave out Haaland,Bernardo and Stones

Special mention to Kinkladze....I believe would have been a world beater under Pep
