David Silva

[BillyShears]

de Bruyne never stops running from what I've seen. He doesn't look the part (to say the least) but he is surprisingly athletic.

He can also improve his work rate, which I'm sure he will under Pep.

I appreciate he works hard and is constantly on the move. But so is Silva. Different types of running, in different areas but I'd be surprised if one of them has much improved stats than the other in that regard. It's the pressing part which a few seem to be getting hung up on that I disagree with.

I dont think Silva is finished, I think his place is under threat from others but that can only be healthy

 

[Rammy Blue]

You reckon? I think that's pure wishful thinking.

I do reckon mate. I know you've lost your love for Dave, I most certainly haven't.

Hahaha, nothing if not predictable.

Silva didn't play with a cross eyed goalkeeper , a right back who we got on a free transfer from Exeter , and the worst left back we have had ( Fronteck )

Kinkladze played for bottom half City, bottom half Derby, couldn't get in the Ajax team and spent the rest of his career at nobody clubs in nobody leagues. There will be fans all around Europe who've never heard of him, never mind seen him play. He was a nippy, tricky, utterly average overall player who could look great in odd moments here and there every half an hour throughout his career because he was a bit nippy and tricky. No half decent team ever even thought about signing him, never mind actually signing him. Kinkladze would be down the list in the 50s or 60s of our greatest ever players, Silva would be in the top 3-5.

David Silva is one of the best number 10s in world football of his generation.
