Please call on my English but not on this man my phone might correct my English (it fooking don't ) but my god CHECK your self if you think this man os finished..... For fook sake we suffered Jamie Pollack in midfield need I say more......!
If you're trying to be daft, then fair play, (stands back and applauds)
If you're trying to be serious (and it's pure coincidence that we're playing in Paris in midweek), and it's not some kind of bizarre Allo Allo parody, then what exactly are you trying to say?
Silva isn't the best player in our history? (Yep, I'll agree that Swift, Trautmann, and a few others were better)
You're disagreeing that Silva isn't finished?
Where's your evidence?
Hmmmm
This. And nothing but this.I think he's far from finished but his decline has started. Hardly surprising given his age, his ongoing problem with his ankle and the fact he's been kicked to death for the best part of a decade. He hasn't affected games this season when we've needed him to and it's really shown up how reliant we've been on him to do that week in week out for the past few years. Still a great player, but that assist statistic clearly doesn't paint an accurate pictute as he's been way off his consistent best this season.
For me, he's past his peak, but given it was quite a massive peak there's still plenty to offer (even if it's not quite as good as it used to be).

That sums it up pretty nicely. Bravo, sir.

City's best ever player. I'm 65 and been watching since I was 10. Honestly he's the best.

I'd say he's the best I've ever seen in a City shirt, although Aguero is close. And Toure not far behind.
Then again I starting watching City in the 80s, so it's been slim pickings to choose from until relatively recently.
Best player in the World, when City are 2-0 up, and starting to catch the opposition on the break.
If we need a goal desperately, then look to Sergio or Yaya

Regarding your question, I think my username might give you a clue..:-)
Jock Strap? Must have been before my time.

It's also quite a close call as to who was the best footballer between Silva and Morrison, but I think David just edges it.
Eh? One was a fat-bellied thug of a pub footballer...
The other was quite a decent central defender.
