David Silva retires from football (pg13)

[pride in battle]

Might be my favorite all time assist, perfect just fucking perfect.

It was a piss easy pass, David did scores of better passes week in week out.

It may have been an easy pass, I couldn't have done it, I'm guessing that you couldn't have done it and it was MY favorite assist of his.

 

[HolisticJim]

One of the absolute finest players ever to play in England. I honestly don't think he got the credit he deserved.

The pass to Dzeko in the 1-6 is probably the best pass I've ever seen. The placement and the weight on the ball was absolutely perfect and no matter how many times I've seen it I still can't believe it.

I hope the club can bring him back or something to celebrate his retirement. What a fabulous footballer he was.

I have a huge framed picture of him in the centre of my front room wall.

My all time favourite city player.

One of the absolute finest players ever to play in England. I honestly don't think he got the credit he deserved.

I can't think of any City player who has been appreciated as much by opposition fans. Anyone I talk to about us has Silva as one of their favourite players.
All the pundits rave about him.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

So sad about this. I was wishing we could of seen him back at the Etihad in the CL and give him a standing ovation. Up there with Bell,Kun and Kev for our greatest ever player. Absolutely love him. Enjoy retirement el Mago, you deserve it.

 

[SheeshKebab]

The Best I've ever seen in a City shirt. Hope he enjoys retirement and hopefully we'll get to see a joint Sergio and David testimonial if what I'm hearing is true.

What a player and guy.

 

[MCFC1993]

All the best David, an absolute legend.

Hope he comes back here in some capacity.

 

[kaz7]

That made me tear up

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Fucking LEGEND

 

[mancboy]

All the best David, an absolute legend.

Hope he comes back here in some capacity.

He really doesnt have any reason to stay in football for financial reasons, i hope he stays in it for the love of it and comes back to city for that

 

[normskih]

What a player.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

What a pleasure it was to have him grace this club.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Don't be sad it's ended. Be glad that it happened.

Simply the best player I've ever seen in a City shirt.

Thank you El Mago for all the numerous great memories

 

[MCC]

What a man! Enjoy retirement Dave!

 

[radcliffe1309]

Hero

 

[Don Karleone]

It was a privilege to watch him. Enjoy your retirement, David.

 

[WickyWain]

Struggling to find words to describe how good he was, easily the best City player I've ever seen that's for sure.

Will also never forget how strong he was during that difficult period with his baby boy. I was going through similar at the same time and it broke me, yet he just kept putting in top class performances.

Legend.

Only 6 Spaniards have played more games for Spain than him. And only 3 have scored more goals. 35 in 125 games. Pretty impressive strike rate for a midfielder!
Wonderful player.
