.... Hazard is not better than Silva. He isn't even better


End of that discussion.

He's better 'at eating kebab' lol

what does that even mean?

he's better at eating kebab because he's of north African descent?

This is really starting to piss me off. Regardless of whether David signs a new deal or not he is a truly world class player and one of the best players weve ever had, the slagging off has to stop. He's never moaned and always gives 100% on the pitch so why just because he hasn't signed a new deal are people beginning to slag him off and underrate him and even try to claim we haven't seen the best of him in 2012! He was carrying a knock last season and as a result had a dip in form but was still a vital player for us in our run in. Without his corners alone Kompany and dzeko would not have scored their vital goals and without his display against Newcastle we may not have beat them. He is a fantastic player, appreciate him while we have him at least.

THIS!

there is a reason why other fans laugh at us ;)

No they don't.

No way Hazzard is better than Silva, yes he has started well but against us in the CS he was basically non existant. Also remember the hype that Mata received last year when he started a Chelsea?! Mata had a good season but is nowehere near as influential as Silva.

David is awesome in my eyes and the only way he could be better is if he had an extra half yard of pace.

I was hoping for the same, but lets move on.

If he didn't sign new contract then just sell him and replace him with Ben Arfa.

And if Mancini decide to buy new striker, then it will be nice to reunite them again.

Replacing David Silva with Ben Arfa? Lmao.

And when I said Hazard is better than Silva, I got the same reposnse this summer.

The same Silva that butchered United in the 6-1? I'll wait on Hazard.

The difference Silva makes to our team showed when he came on at Liverpool this season. He makes everything tick, without him we don't have a focal point (same with Yaya but in a different position), he just gives us that little bit more time when he has the ball. Give him whatever he wants, make him happy, make him stay. (Then he can work on his shooting!!)

 

[AgüeroKun]

He'll sign soon, with pay raise since Ade is gone.

Manchester City are reportedly close to tying Spanish playmaker David Silva to a new five year deal. The 26 year old former Valencia winger signed for the English champions in 2010, for £24m and a four year contract and has established himself as one the club's and league's best attacking players.

His performances and form saw interest from Spanish champions Real Madrid, who were ready to offer City £30m for the Spain international. In fact, interest from Madrid has been long-standing, if tentative, with the nine time European champions having contacted Valencia back only months before Silva signed for Roberto Mancini's side.

However, Silva rubbished talk of his leaving the Etihad and was quoted as acknowledging and appreciating the interest from Madrid (and Barcelona) but committing himself to City.

"City believed in me and I'm very well here. Real Madrid and Barcelona are definitely two great clubs but I hope to stay in Manchester for many years," the 26 year old playmaker said back then.

In response, City were reported as scrambling to offer Silva a new deal. An earlier IBTimes UK report suggested club chiefs were readying a £200,000 per week five year deal (worth £52m in total) to the diminutive attacker, which would place him in the same wage bracket as Ivorian international Yaya Toure and Argentineans Carlos Tevez and Sergio Agüero.

Goal.com now reports negotiations between the club and the player's representatives have almost successfully concluded, with a £190,000 per week offer understood to be on the table. Silva's present contract expires in 2014 and the offered deal will extend it to 2017, which should effectively kill any hope of Madrid signing the player.

Manchester City are presently fourth in the Premier League, with seven points from three games. Mancini's side will resume the fight to defend the league title on 15 September, when they travel to play Stoke City. Then comes the big game... City's Champions League opener against, ironically, Real Madrid. The game will be on 18 September, at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Madrid chiefs will certainly be keeping a close eye on Silva's performance should the contract not be signed by then.
