David Silva leaves City after 10 years

[Willie Wontie]

He has said more than 3 years ago he would like to return home to play for Las Palmas.
As time has moved on he decided he did not want to potentially let his fellow islanders down as he is nearing the end of his career and they would not see him at his best.

He would be playing for City again next season if they had given him the extra year when he signed his last contract, they didn't.

His next deal might be in the media as 3 years but it will be a 2 year deal with David having the option of a 3rd.

So he wouldn’t be good enough for Las Palmas but he would be good enough for City.
Explains why he didn’t get an extra year. Sentiment only goes so far.

No fairy tale ending for Merlin , good luck and bon voyage to a fine footballer and human being.

Thank you david. You were magnificent.

I’m absolutely fuming about what has happened tonight. We, Pep, chose to persist with three lumps when we had movement and passing on the bench.

I think we’ll be talking about Silva’s last game for a long time. It really should not have ended like this.

 

[WestGorton]

He should have been on earlier. That pass or move.

He should either have been on earlier, or not at that stage, we desperately needed pace, something he's never had, but had he come on at half time with someone else that has movement and pace then who knows ?

I give up. Enjoy Gundo.

Sorry El Mago, terrible way to say good bye.

We missed him tonight didn’t we gutted will never see him play for us again. The greatest ever Man City player all the best David.

Been treated appallingly by Pep tonight.

To play Gundogan ahead of him is so fucking disrespectful.

Simply picked because Pep signed him and he was apparently a decent footballer 7 or 8 years ago in Germany.

Well he’s not good anymore and hasn’t been since he came to the club.

Thanks David, and sorry about our arrogant **** of a manager.
