David Silva signs one year contract extension(p33)

[Bluekiwi]

Great news, although I'd make it conditional on growing his hair back.

I agree

My love for David is unconditional.

Well I'd turn up

Good on you mate

It puzzles me why he has no problem scoring for Spain but he does for us.

All our forwards have problem scoring for us, we are under a spell probably.

The boring little fcuker needs to work on his charisma though.

I can barely remember his last brawl, racist gesture, public piss-up, contract dispute or photo of snorting off a brass's tits.

I never thought I would ever see anyone come anywhere near COLIN BELL.
This bloke is THE ANSWER.

Quite agree needs much more scandalous behaviour needed-:) I mean has he not seen England's top goal scorers recent antics.... pffft knew we should have signed the granny shagger-:)

Plays a completely different role and has far more attacking freedom for Spain than he has ever had for us.

Plus, this one was a free kick and he doesn't take many of those for us either.

Which begs the question; what is the, er, question?

He doesn't, though. Three seasons back, when Chelsea won it in the end and we were second, we had every single attacking player out injured for a three-week spell or so round about the Christmas/New Year period, and he just had to step up. He did, and scored goals for fun. Simply, he always, always, looks for the other player, even when he himself is in a scoring position.

Anyway, this is even less of a brainer than giving Yaya an extension. The man's intelligence in the use of the resources he has (and he's never had a turn of speed) is second to no-one in the league (I still think it's outrageous that he didn't get POTY in either of our title winning seasons, especially 2011-12 when, for at least two-thirds of the season, he was utterly sublime). With the younger players around him, he can go on and on. The ankle seems to be less fragile than it used to be, too, despite being hacked regularly by navvies who can't get near the ball.
