David Silva fact!

[LangleyBlue1970]

The sad bastards booed him, when he played at the swamp for Réal Sociedad.

After he’d left us.

The funniest post I read on here years ago about Dave was "if I caught Silva in bed with my wife I'd tuck him in"
Still makes me smile.

The funniest post I’ve ever seen on here was one that said David Silva isn’t a Pep-type player.

David Silva is the very epitome of a Pep-type player.

What a summer that was.

He's City number 1 of all time for me, not trying to start an argument ;)

Kev is right up there, but David is the best I've ever seen. He had it all. The weight of pass, the way he could find space with a little pirouette. I miss him.

Merlin's 360 degrees turns are legendary for finding himself space and freeing himself of his markers.

There's a distinction between 'best' and 'favourite'. There are arguments for Aguero, Yaya, Kevin and Bell as best. But David will forever be my favourite.

Colin Bell and David are our two greatest players fact.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The greatest I've watched in 45 years at City. A privilege, every time, which is why he ranks above Kev for me.

Those 2 and the King for me. All 3 so good, and so different, it would be a sin for me to say that any of the 3 were better, or worse, than the others.

 

[crystal_mais]

The best I have ever seen at City then Kev - was born in 72 , missed seeing Bell et al.

 

[Semper aggressus]

I wish we could find a player of his quality now.

Wrong way to look at it. There is only one David Silva, and we were fortunate enough to have had him for the best years of his career

 

[Lee the Blue]

A truly wonderful player - a gift from up above.

Hes on the Mount Rushmore of Citys greatest ever players alongside Colin, KDB, Rodri, Ya Ya & Sergio. We can all debate who's the best overall and its fun because there is no wrong answer.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Best city player in my lifetime.

If he were a better finisher, he’d be ranked near the likes of Messi and Ronaldo. Tremendous footballer.

Yep. Though some of it was a lack of confidence/unselfishness too because with his technique, he could finish (OT, Wembley, Blackpool, etc).

 

[Bentheblue]

After Ali Bernabia left (and many years before him obviously), there had been no one with the guile and craft we so desperately needed....Spanish Dave changed all that, and set the standard for all those who have followed. A truly magnificent footballer, and a tough little bastard too.

He was also a tough little bugger, which often gets overlooked due to his size and skills.
One of his best games for me was away at Hull when we went down to 10 men in the first half. Davids response to the sending off was to score a scorcher from distance. Then as we tired towards the end whilst hanging on to a one goal lead he put through a sublime defence splitting pass to Edin to sew up a 2-0 away win.

That fucking idiot Goldstein was arguing with Darren Bent, that Beckham was better than Silva…. Seriously. Some people just blinded by their bias.

 

[levets]

He scored more goals for Spain (35), than Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets combined (28) despite playing less games than them all!

He was their 4th highest goal scorer at one point, maybe still is?

Come on.

We all know that talkshite is all about WUMmery and getting reactions from listeners.

And Goldstein is a fucking rag; what do you expect?

Cockney rag at that.
