Pablo Zabaleta

Real lump in the throat moment as we gave him a standing ovation as he waited to come on as sub yesterday. I think he leaves at the right time but he will be missed.

Zabba endeared himself to supporters right from the off in a way that few players do. I will always recall being impressed by his commitment to learn English and settle in. Commitment is the word I'd most associate with Zab. He is a player that I have watched grow through his commitment to learn and improve. That commitment enabled him to become the best full back in the league for a time and its top tackler. His commitment to City has been there for all to see. I'm sure he will show West Ham - if, as seems likely, that is where he is headed - great commitment but he'll never be a Cockney: he's a fucking Manc.

We are so, so luck to witness not just one but four or five legends play in the same team. It's a very sad day to the first one of them leave. What a player, what a gentleman, thanks for the memories. :'(
 
His presence around the club will be sorely missed, but there's no holding back Old Father Time or stopping the pace of progress. Zabs played a pivotal role with our evolution and his contribution will never be forgotten.

A true Warrior, a true Gent and a true Manchester City Legend.
