In my opinion he's the greatest player we've ever had. We've been lucky in recent times and players like David Silva, Aguero, Kompany, etc are definitely a fair shout but KDB is (slightly) above them for me.

He's been here all throughout this record setting, unprecedented dominance Pep era, only Ederson Walker and Bernardo as far as I know can say the same. He's also the only non Pep signing who's been able to last and adapt his game over the years. He's set assist records in the league and will probably go down as the league's best midfielder and playmaker (behind Bruno ofc).

Agree/disagree? Side note I think Foden has the potential to be the next all time great.

  1. Highly subjective I think. I would probably go for Yaya if we’re talking single season only. I’d also count Silva above KdB – for some reason both players simply excited me more. Foden also has that special sauce, and is very likely to become our greatest player ever og be continues like this.

    Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love KdB, but he might be too good, making everything look way too easy.

  3. For me, he will.

    Yaya had the highest peak, but KDB and David Silva are better and almost neck and neck with eachother ( with a slight edge to KDB imo ). Foden has a chance to surpass all of them and he has an added advantage of being homegrown.

  4. Absolutely. Always been David Silva for me but last year Kev overtook him and he’s not even done yet. So many massive moments he’s stepped up and delivered for us. Absolutely unbelievable player, probably the best midfielder the prem has ever seen.

  5. For now, I think Kev would go down (at the very least if he left City in the summer).

    That said, Foden’s definitely gonna end up catching up though, I’d imagine. He’s one of the best youngsters the Prem has seen in years (if not *THE* best), and he’s been one of our best players in the last couple seasons at least.

  6. Silva’s impact on the side can’t be measured in goals or assists. We’ve won games when KDB has not played well, or when Aguero has not played well.

    If David Silva has a bad game, the whole team has a bad game. Thank goodness he rarely did. He is the greatest player.

  8. The fact people forget about Yaya Toure blows my mind

    Him and KDB have the same impact

  9. I think that title will go to Rodri. He’s far more important to us than Kev.

    If he hadn’t got sent off against forest, we could have won the league by 9 more points. We didnt win a game he was suspended for.

    When Rodri plays, we seldom lose. He’s better than yaya, dinho, kev, dave and gundo.

  12. I think that yes, KDB can be considered the best player Man City has ever had. He came in one day as the “60 million euro Chelsea flop” and has become a true baller, who helped his club win so many titles and break so many records, effectively helping the club write history. Unlike everyone else he stayed here and helped the team win the UCL, the prime crown jewel of this whole journey.

    So I’d say, yeah, King Kev is definitely the best player we’ve ever had

  13. Arsenal fan here – honestly, from my end, it’s either KDB or Silva. Both used to torment us when we played, but for me personally, while I rate KDB as a better player, Silva just had that silky smooth football that was a joy to watch. I’d also say that while KDB might end up with a bigger trophy haul, Silva was more instrumental in turning you lot into what you are now.

  14. Probably, but honestly it feels great just contemplating it. I just wish he could catch Giggs…

  16. At least 6 PL’s, 1 UCL, potentially most assists in PL history. Yeah, easy yes
