I suppose you're right, he was consistent and in terms of what they do/did in the team they are very similar!<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 10, 2011 10:49 am --<br /><br />adammck said:Hahah at the French nationality comments.
Of coarse David Silva has more pedigree at a higher level. Benarbia was a brilliant player in his time in the French league. I think they have a similar effect on the City side, they are the creative genius in the middle, we really haven't had anyone have as much creative impact to Ali since he left. We've had Elano and Ireland pulling off the creative stuff but it wasn't as consistent.
Anyone remember Ali's back heel to Goater, what a goal.
I'll be very interested to see what WOW factor Aguero gives us. Happy days lads
Total bollocks, you should be the one having a word.bondsman said:Thomas Woodworth said:I see your point but you seriously cannot compare David Silva to Ali Benarbia.., yes he might have been good for us back then but David Silva is in the same category has Xavi and Iniesta in my Opinion and it is silly to compare the two, Ali Bernarbia was light years away from what Silva is.
Have a word with yourself. Xavi and Iniesta are unfortunately a level above silva.
I don't even feel the need to back this up!. Silva is world class, the pass he made in the super cup against inter was typical of Iniesta/Xavi

The difference with Xavi & Iniesta is the world class players making world class runs when they have the ball. The amount of times on Sunday when Silva made his space, and looked up for a pass with nothing there was astounding.. we were so static. Hopefully with Aguero making the intelligent runs, we'll see just how world class david is....
Silva as good as he is does not control games in the way these two do or score as many as Iniesta. His finishing last year at times was poor. Good player but Ronaldo and Messi sit above xavi, iniesta, tevez, schweinsteiger, robben, drogba and others then I would say Silva sits in a group below that.
