Silva should not even be mentioned in the same breath
He is , on his day , a world class player - I remember watching him beat Scotland on his own a couple of years back but he's done nothing since the break in November 2011 when Spain played England at Wembley.
I accept he may be tired as players nowadays do a whole lot more travelling than in Colin's day, but if you are that knackered try not popping back to Spain to do promotional work during the business end of the season.
I honestly think that if Colin had put in such a disgraceful 'performance' as silva and our other soldiers put in against Wigan he would have thrown himself off the Wembley arch.
But the truth is , Colin would never have robbed the supporters like City did that day.
Silva is obviously an extremely good player- when he can be arsed- but not fit to lace Colin's boots.
