David Silva retires from football (pg13)

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Watched all his goals earlier all 77,boy you don’t realise how good he was until you look back at clips and other highlights,his movement to be in the right place for some of them,my favourite City player ..

Sad day for football but what a player. We have been utterly privileged to have watch him for so many years. In these days where publicity, narcissism and shallowness seem so widespread, I have truly loved watching this shy, unassuming, beautiful footballer. And to see him with Mateo was so touching which I think is a sign of how loved at City he is.
Fully echo the idea that he must come back to get the tribute hs deserves

Why did we not get a chance to say goodbye?

What a player, his stats will never show just what a great player he actually was, the assister of the assister and tbh his through balls to release, Sane or Stelring etc only for them to square ball it for a tap in should have been the actual assist recorded.

Haaland would have had a 60 goals a season in that era

Maybe the Greatest player and ambassador City have ever had pity he didn’t win the CL with us only KDB could eclipse him and Colin possibly.

I love David Silva as much as the next blue but didn’t Yaya eclipse him while he was here.

Forget all the irrelevant shite off the pitch which may or may not be true, on the pitch Yaya for me hit greater heights than David did

I don't even try to compare our " greats"

The guy was a genius. His nickname was well warranted; he was indeed a magician.

Each player is different so hard to compare but we have never had a player who could find little pockets of space against the most defensive teams. And you could fire it in at him in those pockets, it was under straight away. Genius.

Real Sociedad Honoured David Silva as a Legend of the Club before the match against Real Madrid Both teams gave him a Guard of Honour and he took the Honorary Kick Off.
