I was going to write about this as a sad Man City fan, but this was such a good article that there was no point! ☺️ In my unbiased opinion, I don’t think he was only the best Premier League midfielder of all time, but I definitely think he is up there for one of the best Premier League players to ever play! I feel blessed to have one of the best midfielders of mine and your generation play for Man City for all these years. He was a leader, a role model and the creative spark of the team and I think that he is a talent that Man City cannot replace. They could certainly try with Wirtz, but De Bruyne will always be on another level. Amazing article!!!

Lovely piece Sam. Agreed that kdb is undoubtedly a Premier League great and easily the best creative midfielder the league has seen. I'm curious as to what his next step might be but it'll be sad not seeing him pull out these audacious passes next season. Great read mate!

Thanks so much man, appreciate the restack and the comment. I think that next season, Savinho on the left as a traditional, crossing winger will be needed for additional output on the wings. In addition to that, City either need a creative powerhouse signing or literally the entire midfield and attack to chip in with some assists.
