Will it be a huge statue? Massive? Gargantuan?

cringe

 

[jdotman]

Should have a statue of the arab owners first

 

[charlenefan]

 

[SalfordRed18]

Absolutely desperate for legends to the point they don't know what to do when they actually have one.

 

[Zoo]

Noel Gallagher next.

Feels a bit early to be building statues of anybody. If anybody deserves one at some point in the future it probably should be Aguero.

 

[RonaldoVII]

They'll have more statues than fans if they keep this rate up.

 

[Pexbo]

10 years, 309 games, 60 goals, 4 league titles, 8 cups and 3 shields.

I’m not going to judge them for this one, he’s been an absolutely wonderful player and in City’s history his legacy will be as high as any.

! ! !

It makes sense considering their history started in 2008.

Was he that much better than Augero and Kompany?

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Good choice, think of the bronze they'd need just to cast Kompany's bonce. Silva is much more compact.

 

[JPRouve]

Isn't the stadium owned by the City of Manchester?

Yeah but its a bit early isnt it? They have a training pitch named after Joe Hart ffs

 

[TrustInOle]

Can't believe David Silva is getting a statue and their biggest legend doesn't get a sniff. Feel sorry for Sterling.

£££

 

[Fortitude]

Somewhere, Yaya and Kompany are pissed right now!

Aguero and De Bruyne are wondering what they're gonna get for their services, too.

 

[Pexbo]

Yeah it’s a bit daft.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Discount legend. Never even made eyes at the European Cup.

Sergio Aguero, 9 years, 370 games 254 goals, same num,ber of trophies. I can copy wiki stats too, doesn't make it any less cringeworthy

 

[SilentWitness]

This might get more laughs but instead of having a statue of Silva I think they should have one of Kompany, Silva and Aguero as a trio. They have defined this 'era' for City and have been the players that have been the core for it.

 

[thegaz2002]

Hopefully they put it in 1 of the seats inside saving another empty seat

 

[Mike Smalling]

Wow, that's soon. They must be desperate to have add a little history to their club.

Also, if Silva gets one, Aguero and Kompany should get one as well. I would say their contributions to City's title wins have been about equal.

 

[Dante]

Skinhead Silva or mullet Silva? Maybe you could have detachable hairstyles like with Lego.

 

[Relevated]

It isn't early at all. Man city were founded the year the arabs took over and thats what they're trying to make out. They dont really have a history and thats why theyre creating one now so that in 100 years the fans can look back and be proud.

 

[balaks]

I think if they made a statue of Kompany, Aguero and Silva in maybe 10-15 years or so I'm not sure many people would bat an eyelid at it as all three are legends of the club - but to do it now seems a bit naff.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Rest in peace.

 

[R.N7]

Silva before Bernardo Corradi?

 

[Dancfc]

Is this one really that controversial/banterish?

He'd be a a legend at any club for doing what he's done in his ten years at City.

 

[mu4c_20le]

They couldn't let themselves be outdone by the mighty Birmingham City

 

[Dante]

Silva's been with them for 10 years out of their 12 year history. It's deserved.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Kompany is getting one too. I mean, they're hardly going to erect a Shaun Goater one, are they?

EDIT: I am one hundred percent certain that is the first time in human history that the words erect and Shaun Goater have shared a sentence.

 

[Ace of Spades]

pathetic decision. The guy is not even retired yet.

Yeah, one for all three makes sense

This would've been a much better idea.

 

[altodevil]

Could they not have waited until he retired?

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Yeah can't mock them on this one I'm afraid. Wonderful player.
