It was just like a movie

Thanks to Ginger Wig for this wonderful compilation of the best of David Silva Yaya Toure Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany. Seems the right time to remember Merlin on the sad news of his ACL injury and retirement from football. I still hope he can come back and say goodbye. Because of Covid he never did.

The Greatest in my eyes. Sad way to go in the end gutted for him.

Sad news for Dave. One of the most intelligent footballers ever. A true great professional.

We’re grateful not just for the titles he helped win but the pleasure he gave us watching him play.

I think I agree. Pure magic to watch. And he still feels a little bit like our own little secret. I don't think fans of other clubs ever really realised how good he actually was.

What a player. In years to come people will be gobsmacked to read we had so many world class players in the team and arguably Silva was the best of them

Kolarov was better than both Silva’s put together

I hadn’t heard this, sad news he’s retiring due to injury.

An absolute footballing genius, so happy I witnessed this man play in a City shirt. One of the greatest ever players to grace our team, We were very lucky to have him.

Not only class on the pitch, but didn’t let his bird dictate what they do off it as well. My favourite Silva

Dave wore the trousers, on and off the field.

How lucky we have been. We got to watch all of them play in blue every week. Love them all but nothing made me happier than when Yaya came alive.
