David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[Gray]

He owes us nothing and to bow out whilst still playing so well is the right thing to do.

Best of luck David with whatever you do next with your life, you will never be forgotten.

If only he had been able to live up to Kinkladze's standards ;)

And Jamie 'Legend' Pollock of course ...

Love him great player but seems fitting in a way never craved the limelight

It's not so long ago now that there was a debate on here - Kinky or Dave, who's better? And a goodly number voted for the Georgian.
In retrospect, unbelievable \(but true)

 

[Stuuuuuu]

What do we think are the odds of Dave ever returning in some capacity? Or do you think he plans on spending the rest of his days in the sunshine?

@SebastianBlue it’s not very nice to make a grown (old) woman cry!!!

Age is just a number Eccles... My favourite number is 21 ... He will be back at City coaching, one day

My favourite Silva moment has to be when he literally ran rings round Arsenal in the Centurions year. Sadly it looks like all the clips have fallen foul of copyright.

Souness paid a compliment at halftime Silva in his top 4 all time premier league players,he will be sorely missed still has a lot to offer for us,but he has made his decision and fair play to him ..

Wonder who the other 3 are?

Yup .... that's what makes him so unique in modern times.
He is the total opposite to the preening, gloating gobshites that the meeja hype and love.
Yes, looking at you C7 ...

Read this today. Unbelievable

Silva has scored two direct free-kick goals in his last three Premier League games, having scored just once via this method in his first 305 appearances in the competition.
