How good was Spanish Dave?

[Keeper!]

Our greatest and one of the all time greats for me and more importantly a lot of his professional peers that had to face him hold him at the pinnacle of the game.

One of his greatest and less appreciated strengths was toughness, he was one tough , hard little bastard.

Very sad we never got to give him the goodbye he deserved. Hopefully with full crowds and less travel restrictions he can come back to attend a match at the Etihad when Sociedad don’t have a game, and at a later date he still needs a testimonial. World class player, world class human being, a privilege to watch him

He is the best player i have seen in the prem. Nobody made a top team tick as much as him. His vision and seemingly total understanding of how everyone else will react was almost magical.

He knew exactly what his touch had to be in order to keep the oppo chasing ghosts. Only a handful of players in the history of the game can do that.

He is the perfect midfielder imo.

Any excuse to shame these clueless fuckers

Most skilful midfielder player ever to play in this league.

 

[bluealf]

He was alright. No santi Cazorla or Juan Mata if you ask rival fans though. And they were being serious...

The biggest row on twitter was that useless overpaid **** from Arsenal being better than David Silva, the one that sat in the stands for 2-3 seasons earning 350k a week.

The Tarquins are a weird lot, they even think Henry was better than Aguero, you have to pity them I guess.

The fact the other gobshite try's to make a point about the caller being wrong and then actually admits he hadn't heard of him when he won the champions league with Barcelona.

The caller's response is classic 'right, all right!'

Fucking clueless cunts

 

[stan bowles]

Truly world class for over 10 years. Shunned the limelight, very unassuming, a total team player. 125 caps for the best Spanish team ever and their 4th highest goalscorer of all time. Hope we get the chance to welcome him back one day.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

IMHO my all time favourite
What a player and a pure gent
Truly world class

 

[Blue Pete]

For me the best player we have ever had, a true joy to watch him.

He wasn't as flashy as others, he didnt score the goals of Aguero, he didn't run through teams like Yaya, and he didn't get the head injuries of Zaba. What he did was always understated, made the game look simple and easy. He brought the beauty to the game, at the same time as making everyone around him better.
