David Silva (Overated/Underated)

Over-rated on here.

Don't get me wrong, he's a very good player. However his final ball isn't great and he doesn't carry a big goal threat. That stops him from being world class.

His movement is fantastic though. He'd be a regular for any other team in the league.

Fair enough. Lost count of the number of times he's done the hard bit and then misplaced the pass slightly.

noticed it a bit too, i'd just say he was inconsistant but i think we're seeing why barca and real didn't buy him.

He's better than Ozil and I say that without blue blinkers on. Both class but Silva has something extra (and can last 90 unlike Ozil).
 
Don't think he is necessarily still under-rated. I just can't understand why Barca didn't sign him instead of Fabregas. Cheaper and suits their style more but, hey, I'm not grumbling!
 
Will be mark my words one of the most successful foreign players in the premier league. We will however loose him to a Barcelona type team at sone stage and he will sell for rolnaldo type prices.Silva has always been one of my dream buys for city and couldn't believe it went by so quietly when he signed.

Mancini i think you are a fantastic manager but you have to take the shackles off and let these players play, silva should have at least 8 goals by this stage.

Had the Rags got the money and were able to persuade David Silva to join them, there is no doubt he would be rated in the same breath as Puskas, Pele, Maradonna, oh no, he would have talent that would eclipse them all. I've watched footy for decades, and he's as good as I've seen. He's the only player that comes close to what Colin Bell brought to the team, but there again, our Colin didn't make the All Manchester Sky Eleven, so . . . . . . .

Best view on Silva is to listen to a non-Rag. At least yer might get some balance.

You Mr Ewing are an old fart like my self and as such no fuck all about football or what is concidered to be a class football player.
Please feel free to pm me if you think I'm wrong ( lol).
 
I believe we still have more to come from him.

i expected at least a full season to settle in, david was a smart arse and decided he wanted to settle in by christmas.

he will be one of our greats, there's more to come from him.

get a quality midfielder in and give silva more room to operate infront of goal, and he'll be curling them in left, right and centre.

best player we've signed since Kinky imo.
