Don't know if you have noticed but a lot of the media that seemed to be behind City are now changing their minds. Probably so they are not out on their own in their views and conforming with the rest of the Sky, rag, red dippers press.
Ten days ago the red dippers were being consigned to a season of struggle, now coz they have Roy Hodgson and Cole they are going to win the league. These people constantly spout toal bollox.
Silva will be class as long as he gets supported by the midfield and the forwards. He can play on either side or down the middle and has skill in abundance. i don't think he has the ego of Robinho for it to be a problem.
