David Silva leaves City after 10 years

Ahhh man. What a legend, to have given us 10 years without any fuss and only displaying complete class - even in times of personal adversity defies any words.

This man will never, ever be forgotten. Even though he leaves these shores without any personal accolades, he strikes me as the sort who’s not arsed. His quotes show that he knows he has our complete and undivided love and respect.
 
The last game of the new season is at home that is going to be emotional when Merlin is walking around the pitch with his haul of trophies.
 
Continued success is all about replacing the departing stars. Ferguson, I must say, for all his unlikeability, had no compunction about going out and getting the best replacements (even if he had shipped some players out himself).
Who replaces Dave? Is Foden ready yet? Could Mahrez do a job?

Get the best, or a decline in standards will follow, as happened to us when Allison got rid of a fine late 70s team and replaced them with Bobby Shinton, Stuart Lee, Stepanovic, and the like. United have gone out and got some crap.

The question is - who can possibly replace Dave?

Do you really need to ask? Bernie is the heir to the crown.
 
True, in terms of quality, but if BS does Dave's job, we need someone to be a replacement for him, as their roles are not quite the same, and we'll still be a player short
 
No, his question makes sense. The short answer is: no one. Bernardo, good as he is, will be playing in the same position. But he won't be ‘replacing’ the best player to put on sky blue these last fifty years. Nobody could.
