David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[Gabriel]

An odd thing about Silva is that he actually looks leaner now than he has in a couple of the previous seasons. Midfielders have a tendency to bulk up a little, indeed a couple of years ago Silva was more muscular, but he now looks about the same weight and shape as when he arrived.

He’s looked after himself, he’s looked after us, and if he’s the benchmark, good luck Txiki.

Muchisimas gracias "el mago"
Ha sido todo un privilegio
Pero nos falta "las orejas"
Venga vamos a por ella con los cojones!!!

Sadly I do not see Dave going into commentating/punditry so possibly we will not see much more of him in the future.

Pleasure to watch these last 10 years. So many great memories I will always be grateful for. Thanks Dave for everything.

 

[Georgina Kinkladze]

Thanks Dave. Best player I ever seen in a City shirt

 

[blue_paul]

Love that man.

As the old showbiz adage goes, always leave the people wanting more, and he's certainly done that. I genuinely think he could have played more than a bit part for us next season but now is probably the right time to go. I'll certainly miss him. We'll certainly miss him.

Waiting for the praise on 606, might be waiting all night, wankers.

Very sad day. I still live in hope of another year but sadly it will not happen.

Best since Bell

He's been an absolute joy and privilege to watch. Best City player I've seen and hope he has a little bit more left if needed!

Legend

Goodbye legend

Classy as they get on and off the pitch... Wish him the very best

Crying like a baby. Hells wrong with me. Wimp.
When we signed Silva and then Aguero, I was sure they would probably leave after a few years.
How wrong was I. They stayed, and gave me 10 years of pure joy. Thank you so much.
Oh Im off again.

Legend. Represented us so well on and off the field. A player of his talent, he never had an ego. Just loved playing football and it showed.

 

[Mike the Citizen]

Privileged to have been at White Hart Lane with my two lads for David’s debut all them years ago
Gutted not to be able to see his final PL appearance at Etihad today
Have reminded my lads today they are blessed to have witnessed the best player ever to wear the blue shirt!

It would be perfect if he took us to victory in the CL final.
He deserves it.

In 2013/2014 I was all over twitter saying nasri was better looooool

HOW WRONG I WAS FFS.

thanks for the memories Dave, it’s been a pleasure the last ten years..

THE GOAT to wear the shirt

And in 2020 you're all over Stones being better than Ake.

Dont give up the day job pal ;-)

One of the original gang.

Passed the premier league to death for a decade.

Never once saw him sweat.

An absolute God.
