Pablo Zabaleta

[Ric]

I think my favourite moment was when he was on that run of getting ridiculous head injuries in pretty much every match, and he got another one and had a kind of tantrum as he was getting treated - "why does this keep happening to me?" lol.

Ha, I remember that vividly. You could see him thinking "Oh, for fuck's sake...".

Just got in from work and seen this. Gutted but not surprised. The man wants to keep playing first team football and I don't think we can offer that to him any more.
For me, not only up there with the recent greats, Aguero, Silva, Yaya & VK, but also a true club legend that deserves a great send off.
It's such a shame the last home game is a midweek one, and will, I think, mean not everyone will stay behind till the end.
I know it's difficult if you're up early for work or your kids have to get to bed at a reasonable time, but, just this once, let little Jimmy have a late night, start work an hour later.
Players with the passion of Zabba come along once every Blue Moon, and I for one will be letting my youngest have that late night, so we can can both give this bloke the goodbye he deserves.

When you look at some of the shit that will be staying it's hard to take. I doubt he wants to leave, I wish him the best and I hope he knows what we all think of him. Legend.

Please please don't leave early. Stay behind and give him the send off he deserves

Thank you Pablo, you have been a credit to your family and to our football club.

:( LEGEND.
Asked my son a few years ago who he wanted on the back of his first ever proper city top expecting aguero or yaya and not a seconds hesitation "zabba". Proud moment. Bye zabba and good luck. Really hope we see him back in some official capacity.

 

[Dirty Harry]

It seemed inevitable, but still, gutted to see him go, thank you Pablo and all the very best for the future. a class human being.

Not going to lie. I've shed a tear or two.

Good luck Zaba. Once A Blue, Always A Blue! A true club legend!

 

[citizenyank76]

I love Silva more but not by much. I will remember him at his best for doggedly taking out whomever tried to get past him. Blue for life!

We should all wear a head bandage as a tribute

Brilliant suggestion.
