Him, Xavi and Iniesta. What a midfield that would be.
Although technically brilliant, that midfield trio would get overran by a physical side. That's why Busquets gets in Spain's midfield ahead of Silva.
Horses for courses, though. We have a squad that is second to none and we need to make the most of it.
What relevance does that have? He's the best #10 in the world, has been for a good while now. Oezil is the real deal but Silva has the edge on him, better finisher, better vision and tougher than him.carrconormcfc said:pmsl. Just saw your post in the Adebayor thread, then you come out with this. He's had 2 or 3 good games for us ffs.MCFC BOB said:Best attacking midfielder in the world.

Man of the match for me.Opened there defence up with ease.Top signing.Pivotal in all our goals.The penalty box pass to Ade for our third was sublim.e
I love watching players like Silva (Iniesta used to be my favourite player, it's now Silva, since he plays for us). Just absolute total control over the ball.Project said:It's amazing how he makes the players around him seem so.... clunky. AJ with the ball is robotic when compared to Silva.

First of all I would like to apologize for my antics last week, I promised Ric I would behave and thats what I Intend to do.
I watched the city game against Poznan. As an Arsenal fan I hope Adebayor plays, simply for the reason city are better when they play Tevez up front on his own. This was shown clearly when Silva replaced Ade at Bloomfield Road.
I was suprised at how comfortable Boyata looked, he had an excellent game against chelsea aswell I recall. If Kolo is out I think you have an able replacement. Patrick Vieira impressed me composed on the ball. David Silva, he is like Cesc and Xavi and Iniesta and all the little spanish maestros. Twist and turn and leave you on your backside and have extraordinary vision and technique. Asam Johnson looked good. De Jong looks like his usual self.
Arsenals weak points:
Fabianski, however he is the most confident he has ever been in an Arsenal shirt at the moment, still wont stop him from doing a howler.
Djorou- Worst defender at our club, only has pace nothing else.
Squillaci- no pace.
Clichy- Major major liability.
Song- has an advanced role this season major mistake from wenger, he goes TOO advanced up the pitch.
Arshavin- His work rate worries me.
I hope Lescott, Barry and Adebayor play. Adam Johnson against clichy WORRIES me, clichy is a poor defender. Djorou v tevez likewise hope koscielnys fit. Sagna is back HUGE boost. I reckon Cesc will have the beating of yaya, not sure about NDJ though. Hope diaby can keep him on his toes.
We will line up- Fabianski,sagna,squillaci,djorou,clichy,song,diaby,fabregas,arshavin,chamakh,nasri. Expect rosicky, walcott and bendnter to come off the bench. Prediction 2-1 either way.
