If not Torres, we could go for canales who is really exploding at Sociedad.

I undestand that the French don't want him in their team. He is a disruptive force in their dressing room and, along with Benzema, he clearly has no attachment to his country.

Dani Alves has more assists than Iniesta over the past few years, that doesn't make him a creator. Most of Ribery's assists are either centers, passes inwards or straight passes where Robben and co do most of the jobs. Ribery's not fit to lick Silva's feet as far as passing is concerned.

I always cringe when a Spaniard goes to another club with nobody making a move. Javi Martinez is pretty much the new Schweinsteiger. Can you imagine we have Javi Garcia while even 50m would have been a deal for Javi? Next on way, Isco.

You're making it sound as if we are discussing between a player who has raw talent but doesn't measure up to his talent, compared to a less talented player with better performances. Only, the fact is that Silva does measure up to his talent more often than not (although he does have a quiter...

He did spend a month in South Africa.

Looking at this thread, I can only say that some people should actually watch football instead of racking up assist and goal stats which mean nothing. One has to actually see how Silva's elegance and vista completely redefines our game, the speed at which it is played, the one-touch football...

The name you're looking for is Jesus Navas.

Isco, Golden Boy 2012 ahead of Courtois and Sharaawy. All the last Golden Boys have had a price tag of over 25m£, he would be such a bargain.

I'm sorry but Mata and Silva are ballon d'or material. Cazorla is not, he is just a very good player in a mediocre team. Besides, Arteta is the best Spaniard at Arsenal, not Cazorla. To me: Cazorla<Michu<Mata<Silva

Ander Herrera plays in Liga but that also means that he has a certain price tag and may not leave Bilbao because of their local policy. Likewise, other talented midfielders like Canales would want to have regular play in the first team. But we can also look out for younger players to groom in...

Silva is to Mata what Iniesta is to Fabregas. So, at the end of the day, one can go on and on about how much Fabregas scores and how many assists he delivers, but there is no way you can compare him to a classier and more creative Iniesta who, to me, is the second best player in the world ahead...

I really think we chose the wrong Javi :) The other one is really fast and does have passing ability...

So, what you're saying is that Nasri isn't a pure winger and he has to be given a central role, which would mean either drop Silva or Yaya Touré. That would of coure be pure non sense but, before even thinking of a configuration where Nasri can play in a central role, I have simple questions...

There is a difference between setup and through ball. That Everton pass from Silva is textbook, Nasri has to be able to do a similus of that to be termed CAM. No Barcelona fan would have asked to Messi and Iniesta for tracking back on Rooney, no Madrid fan to Ronaldo or Ozil, no United fan to...

Busquets is such an amazing player. He has the vision of a playmaker, always well positioned defensively, good tackles when needed, awesome at retaining position and some of his simple dribbles are exquisite to watch (I remember Ozil falling against him in Clasico). He's the archetype of the...

Show me one video of Nasri giving a through ball half the quality of Silva vs Everton or United last season. Wherever, Marseille, Arsenal or Here. I'm getting sick of repeating this but these excuses are too much too bear. NASRI IS NOT SIMILAR TO SILVA. NASRI IS A BETTER WINGER THAN PLAYMAKER...

Was he? I remember a lot of Arsenal fans saying that he only had 4 good months there, that he doesn't have passing skill to be a playmaker and that he goes missing against big teams. Of course, at that time, I thought it was because of their sourness, but I only hear applause from them about...

So, you know what you're talking about but still are comparing stats for different leagues, and even using assist stats. Dani Alves has 60+ assists in last 5 seasons and he is in European top10. So what, now, he's better than Silva too? Fabregas has most number of assists in the world in last 6...

That doesn't justify anything. Chelsea won the Champions League with having bought Torres, so no mistake there? Fact is Silva deal was done for under 25m, but Mourinho refused it because he wanted a player with the same agent as his, but Di Maria is nowhere near as talented as Silva, nor has...
