David Silva - 2018/19 Performances

[kaz7]

He’s simply playing like a 33 year old midfielder in the most hectic league in the world should over the course of a season. Last season was an anomaly - even the younger players appear to have lost a degree of intensity this year....

He probably can’t be arsed anymore; he’s won everything outside of the Champions League, he’s made an outrageous amount of money and now has a family of his own to think about. There’s no reason for him to compromise living in a cold climate anymore, while he could still earn a good amount playing for one of Spain’s top clubs for a few years and have a better chance of winning that elusive Champions League medal to complete the set too.

If we don’t win it this year, he’ll probably (rightly) think we never will; it’ll be Pep’s 3rd full season, with a £900m squad, and 8 years since he last coached a team to a final - there aren’t many other variables that can be factored in to make it more likely.

Can't be arsed lol,dave is a model pro ,he is having a dip that's all,as for leaving here you clearly don't listen,he is here for another full season then he will go back to his old club,always been the plan and confirmed again by him recently

Member since Wednesday, but manages to slag off SILVA, CITY and Guardiola. Only 8 posts but already thinking that your Username might be better as 'Rouge' rather than ' Bleu'.

Not sure why this bleu guy hasn't been banned. I don't mind opposition fans coming on here and being pricks but pretending to be a blue and being a twat is really annoying.

You should read his full repertoire

So at age 34 he is going to leave and play for Real/Barca/Athleti? Sure he is you utter knob.

Truly ridiculous comment made and totally incorrect in my opinion. He still has the same desire to win as he has ever done. This will continue until he retires. That competitiveness never leaves winners, which is exactly what he is

You'll catch a few with this beauty, I'd say...:)

Mourinho was told to make do with Ashley Young, Phil Jones, Valencia and an obnoxious assembly of dancing mercenaries - Guardiola’s back 5 alone including Ederson last night cost upwards of £200m. If he can’t coach them to collectively repel about 5 sporadic attacks from a woefully workman-like team of primitives, it’s his problem.

Mourinho got fucked over by that commerce-centric circus of a club, whereas this one has gone above and beyond over the past 4 years to facilitate the kind of practically impossible to fail environment Pep exclusively operates in; anything less than successive titles and a Champions League final appearance(s) is failure, and he’ll be exclusively accountable.

Mendy and Walker cost £50m each and are in reality flawed.
Chilwell would be the best option, but not at the price Leicester will now want; he was quality against us in the Youth Cup in 2015, then was the time to sign and develop him, rather than waiting for him to become what he has now, and pay a premium price to acquire him. City logic, embodied.

I agree - always thought the tacky, overly sanitised environment of the Etihad Campus would have a detrimental impact on player development psychologically. Having seen a few of the young players swaggering about there at youth games, it really does seem to breed an arrogance, and presumption that they’re already a ‘baller’ because the club have provided a comfort zone in which the essential desire to succeed is seemingly neutralised.

Doyle is naturally under a huge spotlight due to his family affiliation to the club, but he looks more Joey Barton than Steven Gerrard in all honesty.

Despite all of the initial smug excitement of poaching the best coaches, scouts and young talent in the North West, the academy is not ahead of any of the other clubs in the region in terms of talent on the cusp of making it in senior football (aged 16-19). Perhaps the cosmopolitan smart arses should have given Jim Cassell and his team the resources to continue and enhance their fine work, rather than their P45s.

It'd be nice if we could actually identify and develop some talent, sub-£20m for a change; like Zabaleta and Kompany, or like Liverpool have with Joe Gomez and Robertson for circa £10m combined.

He probably can’t be arsed anymore; he’s won everything outside of the Champions League, he’s made an outrageous amount of money and now has a family of his own to think about. There’s no reason for him to compromise living in a cold climate anymore, while he could still earn a good amount playing for one of Spain’s top clubs for a few years and have a better chance of winning that elusive Champions League medal to complete the set too.

Just curious, which club do you support?
