Statues at the ground

Think the style looks cheap, have for all the statues. Should have gone for traditional marble ones.
I would have thought solid gold would have been worth more in the piss boiling stakes tbh

Edit fuck beaten to the punch by somebody else lol

Aguero's statue is shite, not Ronaldo level shite but it looks nothing like him, I thought David Silva's was bad enough tbh but I stand corrected now.
Van nistelrooy too a tee
 
Marble does not fare well in the Manchester climate. Traditional bronze would be my choice.
It'll be interesting to see how these modern things that look like they are made out of milk bottle tops age. Might be fine, but bronze as you say would be better (imho).
 
The Silva one is absolutely spot on, the Aguero one (I know I’ll be in the minority) looks great to me too, I did go down and see it in the flesh though so maybe most are judging it only from a handful of photos. The only real disappointment for me is the Vinny one, don’t think it looks much like him at all.
(The poses for all three are bob on imo)
 
It's not so much the design that bothers me but rather the glut of statues themselves. Three just feels overkill. Immortalising the Serg moment I can understand, because that was one of the most iconic moments in football history, nevermind our history. But where do we stop? I like to think we'll have innumerable legends to look back on over the next few decades but we can't erect statues of them all.
Why not?
