I’ve seen that probably only with Henry in the modern game. Nothing unlikeable about him and complete genius. Silva had the same effect on rival fans.David SIlva made rival fans bit sad and happy he transcended rivalry like all greats do.
Hopefully he will come back soon along with Sergio so we can give them the send off they missed when they left
Watched all his goals earlier all 77,boy you don’t realise how good he was until you look back at clips and other highlights,his movement to be in the right place for some of them,my favourite City player ..Happy Birthday David Silva!!!

Bernardo, whilst not in the same league as a player but still a genius, you can see why rival fans would and do detest him. None of that with Silva. Just total respect.
That guy spent the best years of his career with us.
yes.Best city player ever?
He’s not, but he’s still a genius.There’s no way you can claim Bernardo “isn’t in the same league” as David was.
Both absolutely world class.
He’s not, but he’s still a genius.
Fair fucks. I put Silva in the bracket of player just below the two of Ronaldo and Messi in this era.Bernardo isn’t world class?
Utter bollocks mate.
He was so brave that day. The appalling tackle that Elmohamady made would have scared many players or broken their legs but El Mago got up, was even better, running the game from start to finish as well as scoring a great goal.Hull away when we went down to 10 men.
Our magician decided we wasn't going to lose that game. Totally unplayable reminded me of Zola for Chelsea back at Maine Road. Covid robbed us of a proper fairwell for our LEGEND. CTID
Bell played in a different era but our most successful until the last decade ! For me David Silva is the most skilled player we've ever had, KDB is the best creative player and Colin Bell the most hard working ! Impossible to compare eras 50 years apart due to pitch conditions the balls now used and the lack of physicality nowadays ! So will leave it at that for me the 3 best players we've had in my lifetime !He was so brave that day. The appalling tackle that Elmohamady made would have scared many players or broken their legs but El Mago got up, was even better, running the game from start to finish as well as scoring a great goal.
The joint best player we have ever had in my opinion, up there with Colin and Kevin.
David would be right up there but so would Bernardo imo.Fair fucks. I put Silva in the bracket of player just below the two of Ronaldo and Messi in this era.
I put Bernardo in the bracket just below that. World class of course.
David Silva is the best player to have played for our club and I put him number two behind Henry to have graced the league. Ronaldo did his shit at Madrid so he’s not really a PL mainstay for me.
IF we win the PL he would be the perfect man to present the trophy. That would be fitting.We need to get him back for the last game of the season having just seen him say his goodbyes at Real Sociedad. We never got that opportunity.
