David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[frimpongs_buzzin]

I saw a flag online that said it all. “David Silva, the best there is, there best there was, the best there ever will be”

 

[Neville Kneville]

It won't be easy to say goodbye, but we knew it was coming in the near future.

 

[Impeccable One]

Makes note to sell Kleenex outside the ground for at the final home game..........

Will you have lube as well ?

 

[inchy14]

He'll get a standing ovation at every single away game this season, that's how highly regarded he is, never heard a bad word said from an opposition supporter.

Best player i've ever seen in the shirt.

Going to be emotional........

Don’t have the words to do him justice, not only on the pitch but off the pitch the man is a giant. Already have a tear in my eye thinking of VK ‘s departure and his game in September , so saying adios to this man will be even more emotional.

Zabba, Vinny and now Dave. Just Kun to go and then all four cornerstones will have moved on. It happens but it's still upsetting to know we won't see them in blue again.

where do you start with this fella.
"class" is word so often over used in football today, this lad though oozes it, he oozes it on the field of play, in the dressing room and in his daily life. no hissy fits, no front page headlines. no stropps for a move, not even for more dosh. a model professional in every way. we all see these players as gods, heroes, and someone to take us away from the weekly grind as we wonder at their splendour. yes paid handsomely but in our eyes we only see the player. David is one of those players who would play the game for a tenner a week such is his love for the game and his humble view of life. he has his family , his beautiful baby boy, he's content. i wish him well on his onward journey, he'll go home and play without the glare of the premier league, wont get the same wages but he wont give a rats arse, he'll just be happy. he deserves it.

the coming season is my 54th watching City, is he the best player i have seen? just a bit, i've seen them all but this argument isn't even close.


Thank you David Silva.

Great post mate, sums up exactly how I feel.

Thank you David Silva.

100% agree. My first game was in the mid sixties and no one could hold a candle to Merlin.

Would love his last game to be in Istanbul.

No surprise on the reaction from everyone here. I have a theory that it is rooted in utter disbelief that a world class player THAT good has stayed and played for us for so long. Love him.
And that pass ............
