David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[Oyster28catcher]

This was a hell of a ride and he has one more season to deliver with our beloved blues.
Looking forwards to September 2020:

David Silva's XI v European XI

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Cheers Dave it's been a blast and it's the right decision for us all.

 

[the plasterer]

What a player, he could find space in Hattie jacques knickers, still don’t think he gets the media recognition he deserves, nowt new there I suppose, never heard an opposition supporter have anything but admiration for him, that speaks volumes in itself, a truly magnificent, gifted footballer, the best city have ever had in my humble opinion

 

[Keeper!]

Magnificent footballer and most important of all a great, humble human being.

 

[mixer]

That pass to Dzeko at the swamp.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Close call , and arguments for a few others, but for me THE BEST.

Thank you Dave, i will deffo be shedding a tear when you leave that pitch for the last time. A true gent.

 

[Indaparkside]

Zabba,vinny, merlin.Hopefully it will be all a dream, they'll all return in the shower in a few years times:)

Anyone got Bobby ewings number

 

[Dirty Harry]

It's hard to describe how I actually feel on hearing this news, absolutely gutted I guess is a start, but what a footballer, and just as important, what a man, an absolute class human being of the highest order, and, as I'm sure we all do, wish Dave and his family every success and every happiness from here on in, where ever he goes, Thank you David Silva, I'm going to savour every moment of this season watching you play !

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

After the way he(and Yaya)were ridiculed following that 0-0 draw at Spurs in their first game, I think its fair to say, he(and indeed they both)responded, at his best he was a joy to watch, at his worst he was still a joy to watch....................

 

[eversince 76]

It’s not like he had gone already or died yesterday. We still have a whole season left to enjoy our Merlin. And when it’s his final game for us, that’ll be the moment to drop a tear or two. I sincerely hope that game will be a CL- final. As to fulfill Merlins’ last wish when playing for City.

 

[schfc6]

Then sergio,oh god i hope the kids are ready

Likely Fernandinho too.

 

[bluemonkey71]

On the 10th min of every game for all the season........

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

Oh xxxx I must have just peeled an onion and I'm 57 next month,! legend who brought the sunshine of Spain to our doorstep.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Fuck a Duck!!

17/18 Yaya
18/19 Vinny
19/20 Spanish Dave

My God , we're starting to witness the changing of the guards at City.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Fern leaves too, and Serge the year after!

 

[goatersnipple]

Not looked forward to this news for the last few years.
We knew it was coming.
Let's enjoy every game he has left..and give him the send off our greatest ever player deserves.

 

[crazyg]

The last time I had a tear in my eye for a player was 26th December 1977. It will probably happen again at the end of the season.

 

[sir baconface]

Just thank you, Merlin. Thank you.

 

[oldius]

One of the greats and a foundation for all our achievements, now and in the future.

 

[Newtoncc]

While we knew this would happen its hard to take when it becomes official, least we can give him the standing ovation he deserves every time he is subbed. It was worth renewing my S/T just to see his last season.

 

[shemnel]

gah. damn it.

Unending craft, skill, vision and quality. Will be regarded as one of the best.
