RumbleFox Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 As a Yin to the other thread's Yang, which player would you just LOVE to see in a City shirt. Doesn't have to necessarily be the best player just one you love. To make it interesting let's have one form the PL, one from overseas and one from history. PL - David Silva - Just love him, one of the few opposition players I genuinely love. Son would've been a close second usually but he seems to have turned into a bit of a nobber this season. Overseas - Gotta be Messi hasn't it? Simply the GOAT and much more likable than the other, semi GOAT with the abs. History - Tough one but probably has to be one I have personally seen as cannot make judgment on earlier payers (Pele, Best obvs). Maybe not the best player ever but I loved Batistuta growing up and would love to have seen him in a shitty 90s Leicester top. Bergkamp too for me. Still, in my humble opinion, the most technically gifted player to have played in the PL and was a real statement of intent for the PL at the time. Still remember Elliott almost applauding him after he got turned inside out for the last goal of that famous hat-trick. X

TiffToff88 Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 PL - Van Dijk maybe? Overseas - (Semi-realistic) - Timo Werner/Andrea Belotti - both would fill gaps we really need at the moment (Never in a million years, but would love to see) - Messi History - Iker Casillas. My idol growing up as a goalkeeper. One of the best the world has ever seen.

Innovindil Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Juan Mata in his prime. Not only a decent player but also seems a top bloke. Probably Cazorla for the same reasons, plays/played the game beautifully tbf.

You simply can't mention one without mentioning the other

We'd get in there first and make him our own. When Bryan Robson was at WBA he basically sabotaged Earnie's career for personal reasons, between 04-06 only Thierry Henry had more goals per Prem minutes than Earnie. He was like the Erling Haaland of his day, loads of goals in no time at all. Just like Vards, he had records at every level. He's the only player to score hattricks in all four professional English leagues, both cups and for his country. Basically he was robbed of a balon dor by terrible management.
Ecdysiast Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Gotta be Bergcamp or Zola for me from the recent Premier league sublime skills Roberto Carlos from history - just so i could watch one of those ridiculous free-kicks go in live Current international? Can't look past Messi.

Dahnsouff Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Bergkamp and Zola are good shouts, basically any of those play the game as if they have all the time in the world Cambiasso at his pomp, and Pirlo at his.
walkerleeds Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Random but I loved watching Rosicky play.
Stadt Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Torres was one of my favourite players as an impressionable pre-pubescent sprog, in his prime he was unbelievable. Shame injuries robbed him. Ronaldo Nazario Henry It looks like I have a type and that type is tall, elegant, pacy forwards

Czech Republic in Euro 2004 probably the most I've ever supported a team other than Leicester or Wales. Loved Rosicky. The wins against Netherlands and Germany two of my favourite ever summer tournament games. Also the banger he hit against the septics in the following world cup was ridiculous.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Pavel Nedved A prime Franck Ribéry. Also liked Matt Le Tissier although these days we'd probably think he is lazy AF Ibrahimovic would be awesome too And finallly 100% agree with Cazorla and Suarez.

Velvet footballers.
