Moderators Zico Posted August 18, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2020 Whilst I like underdogs, I'm hoping for a PSG v Bayern final I wouldn't even check the odds for Leipzig v Lyon or two teams from one country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Its massive news that we can watch non league games. I'll be at as many games as I can get to until such time that we are allowed back in EFL games. I usually get to 1 or 2 non league a season but with no other options and TV football a turn off with no fans, its the only show in town for the foreseeable.

Spot on Ronnie. Deserves his statue. Plenty of great players there but he has been the outstanding one IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjayoghani Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 This discussion of how good a player Silva is and relevance to the statue is missing the point a bit for me. Also a question of the relationship between club and player as much as anything. Good example, Nat and Bolton the unbreakable lifelong marriage. Obviously City love him but does Silva really love City? He's just fucked them off for Sociedad. Henry went to Barcelona. Some might say he's returning home, but wasn't he almost joining Lazio at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you think of anyone better to represent City, than a Foreign player, already established, keeping young English talent out of the side for the last couple of years ? Its the perfect statue for what City have become. And I like Silva as a player, but I'm not sure I remember a season when you would have had him as City's best Midfielder.

He’s done 10 years at one club what more could he do? There’s a reason ex PL players In particular Centre mids say he’s one of the very best.

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted August 19, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2020 from what i know of silva (admittedly all press reported ), he's a model professional. and considering the number of mercenaries in the game, i welcome rewarding such folk in which ever way the club see fit.

I don’t think anyone is questioning his ability he’s a phenomenal talent. It’s the need to shove up a statue that most are just a bit meh about. Seems overkill to most. But end of day if the club sees fit to do it then so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I can't believe how many give a shit about what statues Man City, or any other club, decide to put up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger_Dubuis Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I think the 3 standout players in City's 12 year history are Yaya Toure, Aguero and De Bruyne.They are the ones that were the difference between winning trophies or not.Silva is one of several very good players they have had but not really worthy of a statue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
