We'll miss you sweep....(Merged)

Re: We'll miss you sweep....

If Dickov is a bigger 'legend' than SWP on here then it is warped in he extreme.

Christian Dailly and Claridge would also be legends then.

Well it is his official twitter.

Nermind.

6.5m probably isn't very realistic. Mirror has it at 3m

So hang on, you seriously think a competitive professional like Dickov scoring against us while playing for another club after we had discarded him is more of an insult to our club than our own Captain discarding our own club's scarves on his way to pick up our first trophy in 35 years?

Seriously?
Spot on GDM, baby.

A legend would not have disrespected the thing we love the way Tevez has.

Great player, glad he's staying, but legend?

I think the expression these days is - pffft

City legends for me off the top of my head-

Paul
Trautmann
Book
Bell
Lee
Summerbee
Doyle
Rosler
Goater
Dickov

I'm sure there are a few more, but in terms of a place in City fans' hearts Tevez isn't even close to that lot.

Sorry, but these are cult heroes, not legends.

Dickov fucking loved scoring against City for Leicester. Which is more of an insult than Tevez not wearing a scarf on the way upto lifting a trophy.

All in my opinion of course.

How do you know that Dzeko didn't put scarves down as well? All the TV cameras showed was him dancing round with a big Bosnian flag?

Generally, I think what it is on the pitch:

Dickov scored 1 goal in 5 games.

Tevez scored over 50 goals in under 2 seasons.

I liked Dickov in his first time around, but he should be more remembered for that goal more than his City career. Tevez, on the other hand, should be remembered for being the catalyst for the majority of positive things on the pitch in the best seasons City have had for over a quarter of the clubs existence.

I prefer Joey Barton to Trevor Sinclair as well. Shall we get into that?
 
Re: We'll miss you sweep....

In modern day football, how many players are going to be able to be added to the list?

It's all about success and money now.

If we become successful over a sustained period, then we will get players wanting to stay for their entire careers and potentially gain "legend" status.

We are in transition to that at the moment and as such, no-one can gain that yet. Kompany has begun well though!
 
Re: We'll miss you sweep....

It is not mostly about the vitriolic celebrations when he scored, more how he got the penalties. No?

Micah Richards I think is a certain.
