Statues at the ground

[PabZabb]

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)

Could have been worse.

And in Bronze.

Wow, looks just like him, that.

Didn't even know Niall Quinn got one as well.

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?

Looks more like Ian Dowie than Serg

Statues should be reserved for dead people and mad dictators only IMO

A true City legend, captured perfectly.

It really is.........

Aye cause bronze guarantees resemblance.

Because this one of David Silva really fucking looks like him.
