I just have to express my appreciation for the greatest goalscorer that we may well ever see playing for our club. Right from the very first game I think anyone who was at his debut v Swansea could see we had a great player on our hands.
His stats against the big 6 is second to none and of course he has scored so many game changing and important goals that it’s hard from me to think any player (in goal scoring terms) will ever eclipse what he means to us.
It’s not just that he is the record scorer and the scorer of ‘that’ goal it’s the fact he goes along with the likes of D Silva, Kompany, Zabaleta, Fernandinho and De Bruyne in that his personality, respect for City and will to win means he’s in that very select elite group of players that have played for us since the takeover.
We have been truly blessed to have him and to quote KK “I would love it!” if he could win the same amount of trophies as the number of his shirt when he first started playing for us.
16 trophies in 10 years with the final one being that elusive Champions League really would cement his place with the very best (not that he has treated that way in the past) the Premier League era has ever seen.
