David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[kaz7]

Hate the thought he would be in italy,they don't deserve him

I'm surprised Juve haven't entered negotiations. They like a bargain

Lazio's fan base has a bit of an unfair reputation.

They have a shitty, far right ultra group (that's been banned), but so do...pretty much all Serie A clubs. And Spain too - for some reason the far left Rayo Vallecano ultras get all the spotlight and not the very far right Real Madrid, Valencia, Espanyol, Celta Vigo, Atletico, Barcelona and Betis ultras.

Fascism and football ultras/hooligans go hand in hand, but Lazio bear the brunt of the reputation. It doesn't help that their Roman identity lends itself to Italian and Nazi imagery, but for the most part they are not much worse than any other Italian club.

We have our own element at City as well tbf, a depressing number of FLA/Tommy Robinson acolytes in our support. I once came across a laughable ‘protest’ in Albert Square, something about flying the union flag in Northern Ireland. It was about two gammons, a Karen and a couple of young idiots with a City flag, as if we had anything whatsoever to do with it.
unlike Lazio, however, we’ve never had players like DiCanio and Mihailovic giving fascist salutes to the nazi sympathisers in the stands

10 years to the day since his first appearance for City in a preseason friendly.

Blubbering...

When on earth can we have him back though with all this covid shit?
Next year could be out of bounds.

Hes thinking its a shame that he cannot wave to that great bloke in 306 and l am thinking what a shame we cannot give him the send off he deserves.

What a fucking picture that is.

Shame that freekick didn't nestle in the top corner to round it all off.

Finishes by beating the team the hacks thought he should join. He would have won personal accolades there and then been discarded for the shiny new toy, he won hearts and minds here.

 

[Kennedy_probably_has]

What a player, love him forever

What a fucking picture that is.

Shades of Sir Joe at Maine Road all those years ago.

In the match preview, BT showed a quote by someone, I’m not sure who it was, possibly Pep, that said, "David Silva has changed the way Manchester City supporters view football."

I don’t think there’s any doubt about that at all.

Quite simply the best player I have ever seen in a City shirt.
