Was this after he joined Chelsea and refused to sign a City shirt or sth
Even if we ignore the move to Chelsea and the whole shirt signing fiasco.
If we’re talking strictly as a player, I doubt he’s earned legend status.
I can’t speak for Summerbee or Bell because I never saw them play. But obviously I’ll take the word for the long time city fans who call them legends.
Ever since I started watching city, Aguero, Kompany and David have established themselves as club legends.
From the Mancini and Pellegrini time there’s probably a couple like Yaya Zaba, Dzeko, Hart and Kolarov but I wouldn’t put them in the same bracket at the three above.
There’s KDB and Fernandhino obviously, but I like many associate them with Pep era City more than Pellegrini era.
Then when you come to Pep era itself. You’ve got Stones, Walker, Eddy, Rodri, Bernardo, Gundo.
Wouldn’t call Foden a club legend just yet, but he’s getting there soon.
Is anyone really putting Sterling in that same category of those players?
He’s not even in the same bracket as club icons like Mario or Sane who didn’t have long tenures but had legendary moments.
