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.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.

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

I do reckon mate. I know you've lost your love for Dave, I most certainly haven't.You reckon? I think that's pure wishful thinking.

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.Ok I will bite , he is not in same league as Gio , I have once got off my seat watching Silva , proper overrated

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

The way Kinkladze is rated by some blues is so contrary to the evidence of his career beyond City.

I've never seen Silva go and hide on the wing cos he got kicked early on or just didn't fancy it

As much as I enjoyed watching Kinkladze at the time, he is not on Silva's level, in fact he's not better than Nasri or Robinho
There isn't one argument other than 'he played in a shit team' that can be put forward to try and support the Kinkladze was better argument - he didn't do much once he left either
Jacks memories are tarnished due to the utter wank that was served up on a weekly basis at that time. Kinkys moments of magic are probably one of the few things that made us smile in those days so I understand the reason why he would rate him highly. We all enjoy a bit of nostalgia.
His dislike and inability to see what Silva brings to the table is another thing all together. it makes no sense saying he's only capable of 5 yard sideways passes when the evidence against that is overwhelming.

Wasn't it just. More of the same on Wednesday, please.Some goal that was, mate.
It's amazing how much confidence we can get from seeing us turn up and play to our capabilities. I'd have written Wednesday off before yesterday but knowing how well this team can play when fully focused and at near full strength means there's always a chance.Wasn't it just. More of the same on Wednesday, please.
