Never seen a player at City like him. Fuck me the little passes in between the lines for Aguero.

There are great players and then there is David Silva….what a gift he had.
You could hear a pin drop when he was on the ball such was the awe in the ground…..
at least in my mind!

Will be my favorite player til the day I die. One of a kind as far as I'm concerned.

Fixed.Wondered when you would show yourself up.
One of my favourite City players of all time. Easy top 10, maybe top five.
A lot of his great moments from down the years have been mentioned in this thread but the one that stands above the rest for me, and was the highest mark of his genius, was his slide-rule ball to Nasri in the 3-2 win over Spurs in 2012.
One of those moments where literally nobody in the ground - not even Nasri - felt like that kind of pass was on. Silva was just moving from right to left at the base of the midfield looking for options, and then without even so much as moving his head to face the Spurs goal he found that pass through the middle to give Nasri a 1-on-1.
The pass takes six Spurs players out of the game.

A true artist, and the football field was his beautiful canvas.
There's not another City player who has ever given me greater pleasure than the magnificent El Mago!

David Silva gave me most pleasure in watching him play, especially at games. His nimble feet and jinking skills gave me joy in my heart especially when he'd be surrounded by players, he'd come away with the ball and often thread it to Aguero, and he mostly knew whare he was in an instant. The telepathy between the two was Incredible, I can't think of another City pairing who complemented each other so well.
I was always worried both Silva and Aguero would cave in to Madrid or Barcelona who were always linked to them but they never did. I'm very grateful I got to see David Silva(and Aguero) play 10 seasons for us. Not only was he a fantastic player he was a model professional and only in the news for the right reasons, not in the tabloids about sordid antics which certain players have been.
The only sad thing about him leaving was not having the opportunity to give him a proper send off which would have been special and emotional on seeing my favourite ever City player for the last time. Alas.

My favourite ever City player. He gets in any city team and he'd bring such a calmness to this team too.

A pleasure to watch every week. The best I've ever seen in a blue shirt personally. Kev and Yaya have the blockbuster highlights but Silva made football art. A majestic player, a pure genius.
Yes!! That's it! I've been struggling to put my thoughts about David to words but that's it. That's exactly it - I'll poach that from you now.

When El Mago was on the ball is was if time stood still for the players around him whilst he was unaffected.

On holiday in Gran Canaria a few years ago we went into a little bar and they had a picture of David playing for City over the bar.
We got talking to the owner who said that David was the big hero of Gran Canaria and how proud they were of him.
City were definitely more popular than most English teams because of El Magoo.
Absolutely wonderful player who would without a doubt be able to play for any team in the world when he was in his prime... luckily we got those years..
