David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[city2]

Merlin has shown all these wannabe footballers how to behave on the pitch and off it, absolutely top man Manchester will never forget you.

I've been sulking all evening. I really need to get a grip.

I've dreaded this day for years. What a fucking player David Silva is. That is how you play football.

A personal experience for myself was a trip to Barcelona in 2012 when I got to Reus Airport convinced I'd missed my flight home to Manchester. The relief of getting to the gate just in time and David was at the back of the queue with his mate. A very special moment for me shaking his hand and telling him how much I loved him haha.

Gutted we couldn't be there with him today. He will forever be my favourite player.

I would like to thank Silva & Mancini as well.

If ever a city player deserved a statue it’s our David. Where’s it going ?

Wonder where Dave will end up next?

What a summer of signings when you think about it, even Boateng had an incredible career. Our work in the market then was incredible.

I have just been reminded I used to complain that "David Silva would be a great player if only he had a shot on him." Regardless, he's City's most graceful footballer, City's Fred Astaire.
