David Silva retires from football (pg13)

[Keeper!]

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Fantastic recognition by Sociedad last night.
What a player.
Now imagine the scenes should he walk on the pitch before the West Ham game? Not a dry eye in the house.
That would be special and even more so if it ends up with us having another trophy lift……

 

[MCFC1993]

Deserves a testimonial and deserves a proper send off from us.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

David was honoured before Real Sociedad and Madrid last night. Look at the appreciation all around from both teams.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Still the best player I’ve ever seen at our club.

 

[Asa's left peg]

It's way overdue. Come on City, sort it.

 

[blue12]

My favourite ever City player and I’ve seen some great players over the last 59 years. Absolute joy to watch who made the game look easy .
It’s incredible that we haven’t said a proper goodbye to one of our true legends.

Still the best player I’ve ever seen at our club.

Agreed

I really hope this happens. David Silva is the best player we’ve ever had. He gave his career to us, and the fact you never heard a bad word about him, even from rags, shows how privileged we were to have him.

The club quite simply cannot sort a goodbye out from us to him and from him to us - the club he spent his best years at.

Manchester City. Get it sorted.

 

[Blue Maverick]

IF we win the league, him and Sergio should bring out the trophy for us.

I can remember both him & Yaya playing against us in friendlies and thinking how much I'd love them both in sky blue......and I did.

 

[stan bowles]

I just hope he knows even a tiny amount of how much the City fans loved him and adored him for the decade of service he gave to us. 125 caps and the 4th highest all time goalscorer for the best Spain team they've ever had - tells you all you need to know.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Lovely to see, spent a relatively insignificant time at Sociedad yet is treated like a player who spent his entire their. Shows the stature of the man both on and off the pitch to get that level of respect so quickly. Needs to be flown over so we can show our appreciation.

 

[failsworthblueboy]

Great and Legend are words that are thrown about all to easy these days!!

David Silva you was a Great player and a true Legend of football not just Manchester City, the like of which we will never see again.

Once a blue always a blue.

That’s made me smile, I’ve just come back from there and bought granddaughter a Real Sociedad kit. Similar age to David’s girl but my granddaughter looks better in it though lol.

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

Totally different players. Yaya’s highlights real probably put him up there with anyone. As a consistent player who could run games every season for years David was the man.

Wonderful player and goals, but I have to say the editing on that video is fucking awful.

No need comparing them. One was the bulldozer the other pulled the strings, although Yaya did have an element of playmaking in his game that tends to be overshadowed by his brute force and goals.
