If the next decade is half as good (and I survive it) it will still be brilliant.

But we do miss Yaya's midfield dominance as well

Brings a tear to the eye to read al those replies, what a great man he's been for the club and the fans.

I chose Yaya.
Putting aside his behaviour, putting aside his agent and averaging out the period as fair, I think he's had the most impact.
At times, I thought it was sheer will he got us through some games, if we weren't quite clicking.
In fact, Kev's attitude reminds me of him!
The fact he could morph into Fern's, Kev's, David's or Gundo's style of play at any given time was astounding to me!
An eye for a pass, the intricate play, the hold up? Could tap in, head in, scream one into the top corner AND take penos!
He had some twinkle toes that one, especially for some great big lump of a man!

close call between Silva and Yaya . For me Yaya edges slightly because he was a freaking beast . When he ran with the ball , he seemed like a charging bull . Tall powerful and skillful . Thats such a rare combination in a midfielder these days . For me , he is the most complete midfielder i have ever seen .

Influential? Fernandinho. He is who enabled Yaya to be who he was for City, allowed Silva not to have to defend, and KDB hadn’t been here long enough to count.
That said, to think they ALL starred for City this last decade tells me I have been privileged to see 4 of the best players to EVER wear the shirt.
Very much how I see it, I guess much depends on how you define 'influential', without doubt Yaya and Dave have influenced games and at pivotal moments and (for me) walk into our best ever midfielders, but it's Fern who gave them, and many others, the platform to be able to express themselves unhindered.
I'll be gutted when he finally goes, and I say that genuinely, he's probably become my most favourite City player ever, to knock 'The King' off top spot takes some doing.
