Yes exactly. From the little I have heard and seen I think he will be keen on a move to City. He is best as a 10 or in a very fluid front 3, but Silva is better than him and the City's 10. He will be pushed out wide if he gets into the team and may not necessarily be in the first team. He was okay at the world cup and hasn't played much in the CL. He might move to a big club and be an instant success, but he can repeat what happened to Chelsea. It's probably better for him to spend an extra year at the very least at Wolfsburg and then move to a bigger club when he can be sure he has a starting role.adrianr said:ColinLee said:You think we're going to have a huge slump between now and the end of the season?

I hear the Belgium manager has told him the same thing. No reason to rush things. He will be playing CL football next season and possibly for challenging for the league. No need to rush things.
His point is that he would be a guaranteed starter for Wolfsburg, but he wouldn't for us. He could of course come and smash his way into our first team and actually challenge for the league, rather than second place, but his move to Chelsea showed stepping up isn't all plain sailing. If he's that good he'll still have plenty of clubs after him in a season.
Where exactly do City fans see him playing? Pellegrini favours a 4-4-2 against weaker teams and it seems he likes Silva as a 10 in the bigger games. What role exactly do you see for him. It seems like this is almost a case of wanting the next popular thing.
