David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[Blue Theatre]

Like many City fans, my favourite player ever.

End of an era.

For every game, I always wear a "Silva 21" top under my shirt. Will continue to do so, but it will now be tinged with sadness.

I was brought up on Colin Bell , my hero as a kid, but this man has been the greatest ever player I have ever seen in a City shirt.
Thank you for everything you have brought to City you will never ever be replicated or replaced, you are a true legend.

gutted, vinny this, merlin next, its like a sad movie, so lets give him a happy ending with the champions league title

I like the guy but a happy ending isn’t really something I’ll be dishing out.

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Well done SB.Something to actually laugh about with this awful news.
All good things must come to an end.

Indeed. It is hitting me especially hard.

Luckily, though, we can take solace in the fact that unlike yesteryear (and for that lot across the way), we have potentially equal quality youth to come in from just down the A6.

There is only one David Silva - and he is blue.

What an honour it has been.

I have literally just watched that

Possibly (probably) the best player to ever play for this great Club. I was raised in the Bell, Lee, Summerbee era and it took me a long time to come to the realistion that we finally had a successor to the King.

It will be gut wrenching to see him go but if I’m honest with myself it’s the right time. It has been a joy and privilege to watch him play these past nine years. He has been a class act from day one and it’s staggering he is so underrated by the rest of the football world.

Let’s hope some of the advice he has been giving Phil Foden makes him half as good a player as Merlin has been.
