David Silva - official statement

[AdamManCity]

Hope you now understand why I have kept schtum.
It's not like he had a knock on his ankle.
As someone has said, it's a measure of the man he has still shown commitment to the team throughout.
He has conducted some Captain type talks and kept himself in trim by training daily courtesy of his friends at FC Valencia.
He flew back for the Newcastle game and within 2 hours he was on a return flight.
He will be touched by all your supportive messages.
Mateo will be fine if he shows the same fight his Dad does on the pitch.

Can you please pass on to him that we all felt concern for him like we would a member of our own family. That is an indication of just how much the fans admire the man.

Cheers for the update. I live 5 mins from the Valencia training ground so I might go take a look. My son is named Mateo too!

Positive thoughts and well wishes from my family to yours, David.

This is obviously much, much more important than football and he should take as much time as is needed away from playing (and I know the club has and will support him in that).

I’ve never loved a City player like Dave. Please give him my absolute best. There isn’t anyone not totally rooting for him and his family

Hi Mrs David...............

 

[toffee balls]

I have a tear in my eye as I write this.
Very touching messages on here.

David in my eyes is Mr Manchester City and with each passing day / year we are more and more blessed to have him.

Congratulations David and your good lady . Having a Xmas baby is very special ( I have 2).

Ps FFS , can some one some where come up with a song for David.
How about a reworking of Colin the King .

Best wishes. Hope the fact he’s released news means Mateo is on the right path.

My son was born premature, he weighed in at just 1lb, after operation on his upper bowel and they had to try out a new drug to develop more white blood cells,after 4 Months he started to develop quite normally, he is now a 21 year old 19 stone Man City menace, premature babies take quite a while to develop in certain areas, but eventually come through this and in some cases start overtake, hope everything goes well for David and his family, I cannot thank st marys hospital for the amount of care dedication and duty

Warms the heart reading stories like this. Thanks for sharing Mancunial. I hope Dave is as fortunate. :-)
