Told you, I'm in work. Been here all day apart from the couple of hours I shot out to go to the game. No drink for me I'm afraid.

What a load of bollocks. If Pep wants to make a statement by fucking off one of our bigger ego's, I'd better my bottom dollar that Silva won't be that player. The lad's a genius who's playing through an injury. He'll still be very very useful next season and the one after that I'd imagine.
Because he's getting far too much grief and it pisses me off. Today wasn't his best game for us but it was a marked improvement on recent weeks. It's also pretty obvious why he's been off the boil. It's not a coincidence that he's been misfiring since coming back from a bad injury, especially when he was our stand out player beforehand.Well why so aggressive then ? If its not drink is it drugs ? I dont get why a City fan asking other City fans why Silva is off the boil attracts so much animosity. But if you really to fight let me know.
I'll let you know mate.
Is that a threat?You need to relax. It's football. It's opinions. And don't get onto something you wished hadn't. Seriously.

Nah.
A role like Pirlo then. But as you said he has lost a bit of pace and on top of that accommodating him would mean other midfielders would have to share his burden of pressing. Unless Silva regain his Premier League form and start converting his League performances into Champions League matches, Pep will try to offload him.
possibilty, but in a midfield of 3 of like Busquets, Pogba and Silva, that would work for me with Sterling and KDB on the side attakck with Aguero up top.

Only Pep knows what he will do when he gets here, until then it is all speculation and we just shouldn't rise to the media's bait by regurgitating their crap - it is designed to undermine our confidence and unsettle players.
I'm just ignoring all the speculation. Just wish the summer would hurry up (oh hang on; it is summer here in New Zealand) so I can start looking forward to next season.

I'd do a straight swap with Madrd.They might already be here...
KDB and Nasri might tick more boxes.
Maybe Isco again?
LOL at "are".......Brain of Britain strikes again.Shinned it over the bar from 2 yards out , are best player ever behave

He can't press off the ball, which is a big issue for a Pep side. Thought he was a lot better yesterday though, but he's lacking movement in front of him.

Can't see it to be honest, Silva is too good a player. Next year Pep will make him our new Xavi :) More likely that Toure, Nasri, Fernando, possibly Fernandinho will be gone.
Really not sure if this is sarcasm or not. I hope it is.

I don't think they are similar at all. Of Pep's Barca side the player Silva most resembles in my opinion is Messi without the speed or otherwordly brilliance of course. Silva could play a false 9.
Nasri is more like Iniesta but again not as good. Xavi? In my opinion there has never been anyone quite like him. But from our set up despite obvious physical dissimilarities it's Yaya.
No it wasn't sarcasm, I think Silva has the intelligence and passing ability to play that role.Really not sure if this is sarcasm or not. I hope it is.
Spot on!!One, Pep isn't divulging his plans to anyone so there are no ITK reports to be made. Two, Silva's future at City is far safer than say Nasri who represent the polar opposites of the sort of midfielder Pep prefers

Our main weakness is at central midfield and I think Pep will make it a priority to overhaul that and no coincidence that Pogba and Busquetts have been the most linked players with us since Pep's announcement.
