Matt the Giant said:Again Real Madrid has made their interest in him known, and would an offer come in I'm 100% sure David would listen to it. That's not saying he hates the UK and Manchester, just that he prefers Spain and Madrid. Nothing wrong with that.
Let's be honest here, and for a moment take off the blue-tinted glasses: David hasn't exactly been that magical this season has he? In fact, it's over a year now since he was in that "magical" form which made everyone in football place him amongst the best players in the world. That he was for a few months back in the late 2011 but not anywhere near that kind of status it since then.
So what we have to ask ourselves is; Is it likely that he will once again reach that level of quality here with us, or do we use this potential golden opportunity to make a lot of money and sell him to Real?
I really really can't emphasize enough how much like the man, but... he's simply not that good anymore.
He's behind the likes of Bryan Ruiz, Maloney and Lennon is the assist league and has only three goals.
Could we really afford to turn down a 30mil offer for him? And should we?
I'm beginning to think we can do better for that kind of money, but it honestly hurts me to say so.
I think silva has been crutial to city during his time here and in me opinion he is undoubtablly one of our best players at the minute, its unfair to say 'hes simply not that good anymore' i completely disagree with this and if you look at statistics, when he plays our team completes more tackels for example showing that he improves our whole team and there is not many players if any i can think of in the world that can match his ball control and passing, if you ask me there is absoloutely NO way we should let him go.
