No one wanted him comparative to what he is. I mean he is in the top 5 players in the world. He turned down Man U then they never really went in for him again. Real Madrid were kind of interested in him but I think Mourinho was against it. Still, by rights, we shouldn't have been able to get our hands on him. He's massively underrated. Best player in the league at the very least.Didsbury Dave said:AliWaheed said:I wouldn't. It'd be great to have them both, but if it was Silva or Messi, I'd have Silva. He's a blue. Fuck everyone else.
He typifies City. He's an unappreciated gem. No one wanted him at the time, or even gave him that much credit. He came to us. We deserve eachother. A bit like how it was with Kinkladze.
No one wanted him? Are you kidding? He was a Spanish international and one of their brightest young stars. Man United dropped out of the bidding and he was on everybody's radar. It's just that we got the beautiful little scamp.
