Incredible stats.
I think it's the right time for him to go to be honest. In hindsight wouldn't you have preferred Yaya to leave at his peak? Kompany left at the right time too.
His testimonial will sell out faster than Ed Sheeran.His testimonial will sell out quicker than Vinnie's.
Don't insult David SilvaHis testimonial will sell out faster than Ed Sheeran.
I was insulting Ed Sheeran. ;-)Don't insult David Silva
So you should!I was insulting Ed Sheeran. ;-)
In music, David would be Yo-Yo Ma: a virtuoso, loved by everyone, desperately sought after for collaborations, won nearly everything there is to win, not playing for the money but because he genuinely loves it, constantly trying to use his fame and influence to help people, and can really pull the strings.So you should!

I think it'll be my turn to pay for that honour with such a great man.Need a lift to the ground?
Fairly sure David isn’t going to struggle for suitors but this is a nice (and expected) gesture from the club, which I think Pep has alluded to several times, including in the interview that prompted this thread.
As God like as he has been and still is, its the right time for him and the club.
One last year rarely ever works out and lets remember him at his very best rather than watching half the player he has been or seeing him sat on the bench more and more.
About seven years ago we were strolling along the front one night in Port De Pollenca, my lad was about five at the time, wearing his little City kit with Silva on the back.
We were stopped a couple of times by locals who wanted to give my lad the thumbs up and acknowledge Silva's name on his back.
Dave's name results in respect for who he is, as both a footballer and as a man.
Legend.
It’s testimony that salary only attracts players for so long.There can't be many players who have been as consistently excellent as him. To get 10 years of a player with pretty much all of it at his peak is incredible. An absolute privilege for us. And seems like a top bloke as well. I'm not old enough to have seen Bell play, but surely David is our best ever player?
really? lol David Silva is a footballer whom is respected by everyone in the game, even the most bias red or scouser has 100% respect.In music, David would be Yo-Yo Ma: a virtuoso, loved by everyone, desperately sought after for collaborations, won nearly everything there is to win, not playing for the money but because he genuinely loves it, constantly trying to use his fame and influence to help people, and can really pull the strings.
...that’s what I said in the post you quoted. ;-)really? lol David Silva is a footballer whom is respected by everyone in the game, even the most bias red or scouser has 100% respect.
YoYo mmm I love music, never herd of the dude , my analogy would be George Clooney, a good looking bastard who you would be happy to let free on your wife or girlfriend.
