KDB to Larry holmes gardens

Hes the face of the guardiola city era is he not? Double checking cause some folks think differently :ehh:

Who else would they say? Granted KDB came a year before Pep but from what we know now KDB came in with the expectation of Pep becoming City manager.

Stones is the only remaining player from Pep's first season (shout out to Nolito) but I think tactically Bernardo Silva is what Pep ball is now. Work rate, technical excellence, ingenuity in the final third.

KDB definitely the face of City the last decade though.

I'd say Gundogan. Trust him more in the bigger games when Citeh needed it than KDB. I'd also have Bernardo over KDB. Why? Because Bernardo can play anywhere and do any job that is required. Pep never trusted KDB to sit alongside Rodri/Fernadinho. KDB is bit like Haaland the cherry on top player.

Its him
Ive heard people suggest Walker (understandable), Aguero (I can see it), Haaland (lol)

if we're talking City player of the decade (2010s) thats another story

Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidić and Kevin De Bruyne have been Player of the Season on two occasions each and are the only players to have won the award more than once, with Ronaldo having achieved this in consecutive years (2007 and 2008).



side note
Vidic was that dude. Feels like when they talk best players of Fergie era, its always Cantona, Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs

I like Bernado and think he's great but I think he's starting to get a little overrated. He simply doesnt have the impact Gundogan or KDB has on City's games. He's an important cog sure but on the level of Gundogan or KDB? Absolutely not.

Liverpool brehs' how so you feel?


I wouldn’t be mad :ehh: and it’s a genuine link, there’s been smoke around him for a few years about our interest but I can’t see it. I think anyone not thinking it’ll be Kerkez as the marquee and some filler this summer is deluding themselves unfortunately :francis:

Yeah I think it might stop some of the shocking decisions we see if they have to explain their decisions afterwards

I think they are going to bring in permanently the CC style ref announcements right after VAR decisions are made, so they might tread a bit more carefully if they have to give an explanation that's complete bullshyt to the whole crowd.

Based on the line up, Arteta has conceded the title and is focusing on Madrid. Which can only be a good thing. :yeshrug:
