Zabaleta - Assistant manager of Albania (P14)

[blue b4 the moon]

Only just seen this as I've not been in the forum for a couple of days.

Hero & legend are words thrown around too easily, in Pab's case they don't start to cover my love.

Too often not counted in our big five he was one of us on the pitch.

 

[Robinhosthumb!]

A true legend

More than any other other former player, I would truly like to see him back here in some capacity.
Make it so, City.

So good I named my new puppy after him. More than happy to shout Pablo in public parks for the duration.

Same here. My puppy is now a dog and he's frightened of nowt, loves a run and has cut his head more than once

Proper cheered me up this thread. Been a lot of doom and gloo on this forum recently, loads of bickering on lots of threads so it's nice to see everyone in total agreement on what a man Pablo was for us.
Even all the replies on the twitter video were universally praising him. Not one bad word or snide comment.
He leaves the footbal world a poorer place and I'm eternally grateful he signed for us and gave us his best years.
Thanks for the memories, enjoy.

He is, without doubt, THE FUCKING MAN.

I remember that first season he played against Liverpool, it was then I knew a legend was born (:

Ferocious that day.

That made me cry as well. Love the Zabman. Come home soon Zaba. Come home soon.

As everyone already said, he needs to come back, some day, in some capacity. Hopefully coaching because you can't help but respect him as a person first and foremost. So, as long as he does his coaching badges and has a passion for it, I think he'll make a good coach because they'll listen to him. He'll also show our future stars, how representing this club should be done.
