Could not agree more

Cake Cake let them eat Cake . Happy Birthday Merlin .

That looks more like a tart than a cake - happy birthday to the genius.

Where does he rank in the greatest ever player to play for city?

Happy Birthday Merlin, you know we love you :)

Right up there with the best ability IMO.

Amazing player.

I'm fucking sad he's 29.
Although, the type of player he is, I reckon he could play well into his late 30s.

Happy birthday Merlin

I think we might see him evolving into a deeper playmaker as he gets older, he has enough street smarts to adapt anyway. He could be with us for a good few more seasons yet.

He's the icing on the cake.

Absolutely OD.

One of the very best we've ever had; hope he sees out the rest of his career with ourselves.

One of the best. With Meredith, Doherty, Johnson, Bell. What is atonishing IMO is we also have Yaya and Aguero as players who are in this bracket and they are in the same side, let alone the same decade. Arguably Kompany could be part of that group as well.

Really really lucky

only just hitting his peak

Certainly one of the best I've ever seen in the flesh - Happy Birthday, and many more of them in a blue shirt

He's the best City player in my lifetime

We're a different team when he plays. We miss him more than anyone else when he doesn't play.

Exactly, which is why I think he's our best player and a joy to watch
