He is 32 and has two years left on his contract and, for me, if his ankle bears up and he is happy to remain in Manchester, there's no reason why he couldn't play until he's 35/36. This thought makes me very happy.
 
Friendly challenge - name 19 better Premier League players. Bearing in mind quality, consistency, longevity and professionalism.
I can’t think of a single 1 to better David Silva.

Henry and Bergkamp are the 2 who would be up there with him. When you are talking about the top, top players, it is hard to separate them.
Henry was something really special. For me he is the best ever premier league player.

The call of The Canaries May be too strong for that, especially with Mateo in the picture now.

Traditionally, City have never retired shirts (with a sole exception), because teams played 1-11. However, with squad numbers now, I would love to see City retire 42 this season, and 21 when David makes his swan song. Their contribution to where we are now is immeasurable. Both are City giants (one literally, one figuratively), and lynchpins of their national teams.

It's a nice gesture, but surely would lead to the retirement of the number 10 shirt of Aguero, possibly the no. 4 shirt too. As daft as it sounds, we may struggle to attract certain players if certain shirts weren't available. 42 or 21, no worries but the number 10 shirt? Zabba's shirt? Harts?

David Silva is the best player we've had in my lifetime, but I'm only 37. He deserves special recognition. For me, the biggest tribute the club could pay is a redevelopment/improvemention/funding of the department where Mateo is recovering, naming it the David Silva ward or similar. For SERGIO/Ya Ya, others of the like, start foundations in their names in their home towns. Lasting meaningful tributes to their careers.
