Retiring at least a season too early IMO - Godspeed David.

I think he's already become a burden in the high intensity games. Technically and tactically he's still our best player, however that comes at a cost defensively. Bernardo isn't quite as intelligent with his use of the ball but his stamina, tenacity and general running ability helps to support defence and attack far more meaning he's far more effective and efficient in those high intensity games. We hear Pep use the word "stability" pretty frequently, playing Silva costs us a little bit of that stability. I genuinely class him as the best player I've ever had the pleasure of watching, he's change the whole way I see football with the way he plays the game, he's been that special in my eyes.

Really? Looks well off the pace this season. Time for Foden and Bernardo to step up.

David need not start regularly to contribute to our side. B. Silva/Foden/etc. will need breaks. Against certain sides and for certain cup fixtures, D. Silva in the next year or so would be a positive for The Blues.

Perhaps D. Silva wishes to retire to Valencia where he'd be a regular starter; if this is his ambition, perhaps it's time to leave City.

Or perhaps D. Silva wishes to retire from football altogether - in which case I think it's premature unless he's burnt out of the game - I think he'll be able to contribute at City for a year or two more.

Edit - apparently D. Silva is linked to Inter Miami; maybe it's stupid money being thrown at him in which case we won't compete, and, further, fair play to David for cashing in. But if the salary/terms are at all close... we should, IMO, consider extending him for another year.
