It just proves that opposition fans never know the true value of your players. Only a moron would claim Silva hadn't demonstrated his World Class status last season.gingerthai said:Was just looking on an Arsenal forum to see what they thought of the current Mata situation and found this beauty:
"Mata could yet leave Mestalla this summer, although the club have no intention of selling and, now in a strong bargaining position, are likely to ask for up to €35m (£30.5m) for their in-demand player."
"They let Silva go for less than that figure and Villa for just above it, Mata is a fine player but I'd say those two had justified higher price tags than him!
"Villa yes. Silva, not they let him go at the correct price. He has always been a decent but nowhere near world class player and his performances at Citeh has proven that."
Silva nowhere near world class and his performances with us prove this. Can someone tell me if we have another player called Silva on our books because they cant be talking about David.

Not at all ..... I think it just means that we've slapped down an offer in hard cash to make it even harder for Arsenal to say no.

I don't think he is quite world class yet and I am one of his biggest admirers. He has absolutely everything in his arsenal except adding some goals to his name. If he can start scoring some goals then he really will become a top drawer player.

BillyShears said:[Hmm, I know what you mean about Nasri. He has a reputation for being a bit of an insular moody fucker. He's also, whether we like it or not, only had one good season at Arsenal. Before that he'd been distinctly average. So honestly, I don't know. I think City's interest is probably being driven by Marwood and by virtue of the fact that whilst a relatively unproven Pastore is moving for 40 odd million euros, Nasri can be picked up at half that price as a 'proven' premiership performer.
The Eto'o thing....I never thought it'd happen because of his age. It's just really bad business. I actually am not too worried about Carlos coming back. There's 3 weeks for him to find himself a club, and if he doesn't then I'm sure that City will hold Kia to his recent comments about the player respecting his contract.
I'm getting the impression City don't expect him to leave, and Mancini (contrary to what a lot of people are saying) certainly doesn't want him to leave. He's been adamant in recent weeks/months that he wants 4 strikers. Makes far more sense to keep him than send him out on loan to please him and then have to go back into the market ourselves. I can even envisage a scenario where Carlos is given even more "family time" in the upcoming season now that Aguero's in and Dzeko hopefully is settling.
That's more or less my feeling re Nasri. I would've preferred Pastore without question. Having said that, it might be sensible to get in a player who is primarily a dribbler and a finisher rather than a passer.
My concerns on Tevez are that (even though we will be playing with two strikers most of the time) he will behave like a complete spoiled brat when rotated. This will go down very badly with the rest of the squad. Then there's the problem of the need to strip him of the captaincy. Oh, and the fact that he doesn't like passing to his strike partner.
Added to which I am not at all sure that he will prove more durable over the next three seasons than Eto'o (who is still in supreme condition).

His agent did say we're still interested the other day so is possible.

Mancini seemed to suggest earlier in the window that, despite rating Lavezzi, he thought he was far too expensive, can't see that situation having changed.
