David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Superb since football restarted and superb for 10 years. Legend.

did he ever pick up a red card or get banned for too many yellows - I dont think he did did he?

I'm going to have to look it up but I swear he got a yellow card ban in one of the Pellegrini years, I'm very unsure though.

I get emotional just thinking about how he's going to be remembered in the years to come. It will be as one of the greatest or the greatest.

He's leaving on a high and hopefully as a champion of Europe.

I just pray we ever sign as well as we did when we got David, Vinny, Sergio, even Yaya.
Hope we have players that give us as much over the next 5-10 years.
Kev is there. Eddie perhaps.
Phil will be there Im sure and home grown. Who else though out of the present bunch will become our heroes.
Raz? Perhaps.

I don’t know if we’ll ever see the likes of Merlin again in our generation. It has been an absolute pleasure as a City fan to witness such class in our team.
The bar has been set very high for future heroes.

No mention on
Sky they showed the five goals only after everyone else.

??

They did a 10 minute piece about him, with carragher, souness, redknap (jr), neveille, keane and Micah all eulogising about him, it was very good, and it was right after an interview with him.

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.

The strangest thing about Silva was when we didn't have a recognized striker on the pitch, he'd start looking like a goal scorer all of a sudden. I think back to the 13/14 season when Aguero got injured and Silva just flourished as a false nine.

Absolutely gutted. A maestro in every sense of the word

You forgot Zab already ?

Better than Berkovic.
