David Silva fact!

[Blue Hefner]

He’s my favourite City player. The only minor regret(if you can call it that) is that him and Aguero didn’t win the Champs League with us

 

[skillman]

The assist to Djeko for the sixth goal was out of this world.

I’ve always loved his assist away at Reading in 12/13 for Dzeko. A proper disguised pass through about 4 players. His trademark!

Or get a decent send off when they left.

If only he played for RM or Barca, he would have been seen as one of the gods of football, there would have been lots of corny adverts with him being the Mr Miyagi type to some kids playing football to bring world peace

He is a god of football
And he played for us

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Yeah totally agree

I mean across the board, you hardly see fans compare the likes of Iniesta and Xavi to a bricklayer like Scholes but the moment you talk about Silva, you have these same dumb fans drawing comparisons

The funniest post I read on here years ago about Dave was "if I caught Silva in bed with my wife I'd tuck him in"
Still makes me smile.

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Wonderful player, never saw him have a bad game, his own self confidence on the ball meant he received it almost always perfectly in order to set up a chance,seemed to play the game 2/3 passes ahead of anyone else.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Genius personified…

That would certainly have been very fitting for two fabulous players.

His first goal at Eastlands was for Valencia against City in 2007.

Sane's goal at Arsenal where David was almost knocked off his feet three times with the power of the ball fired at him, was outstanding brilliance on his part

And so underrated was his first touch assist to Mahrez at Brighton where we wrapped up the league

 

[Lavinda Past]

These posts make me miss watching David Silva play even more...

Made the game look very easy. The most laid back style of any player. Just a joy to watch playing.

David Silva, Yaya, Aguero, Tevez... What a time that was to be alive.

The best of the best FACT

He got 125 caps for the greatest Spanish team of all time. The Real fans gave him a standing ovation when we first played at the Bernebau. He is indisputably one of the greatest European players of all time.

 

[youngbob]

Played as a false nine for Spain which would explain the goals.

Imagine him in his prime as part of that 21-22 City team.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

As Joni realised.

"Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone"

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

If any of you watched the David Silva documentary that City put out years ago, David Villa (Spain's record goalscorer) was one of the contributors. He said something along the lines that Silva was a dream to play with. He just had to keep making the runs, in the knowledge that ball would almost certainly arrive, that Silva had vision that no other had.

My all-time favourite City player, even above KDB.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

He scored more goals for Spain (35), than Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets combined (28) despite playing less games than them all!

Silva is class - but Xavi and Iniesta and Busquets were all better footballers - unfortunately, when David played, Spain were packed with generational talents at mid.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Our best ever player? Not sure, but IMO possibly so, against very stiff competition.

What game is this you speak of?
