Just thought I'd say how much I miss David Silva

Just talking about this, makes me realise, if I didn't already know, how much really stupendous football we've been privileged to see over the past fourteen years of so. Go back to Yaya's winning goal against the rag bullies at Wembley, then take it from there. Hell, take Yaya's absurd goal against Villa at the end of the 13-14 season. Or Sergio's goal against the rags, when the pass was actually behind him, and he somehow hooked it in, at the beginning of the same season.
I don't know if it will continue, the future is dark, although the rebuild is in the pipeline, but I just feel like someone who's seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion…

The futures not dark ffs. This is ourvfurst real transition under Pep. We will be back winning the league within 2 seasons. The future, my friend, is sky blue.

Must be one of the most underrated players, by other fans and media.

Never spoken about in terms of Premier League greats, but he absolutely was one of the best ever.

If he only he'd been able to shoot properly...

There was a recurring theme in Silva's time at City. Every December, without fail, every single pundit would ask why he hasn't been in more teams of the season or won more individual accolades. Then, without fail, he'd win no accolades, including the media ones
 
I just need to look slightly to my left and there he and I are posing at the Etihad. The photo was from a stadium tour some years ago with my background the green screen which then had David superimposed before printing.

Good player, not a great goal return for his position, so even at his best he would probably struggle in this seasons team

Good player? Really? He was a magnificent player and when Pep played him as a no 8 that's when he really excelled giving us complete control in the majority of games.

Hart,Richards, Walker,Kompany,KDB and Lampard have all said without question he was the best player they've ever played with.

What's even more telling is that Xavi,Iniesta and Busquets have all said without him Spain wouldn't have been as dominant as they were in the late 2000's-early 2010's. He was absolutely essential for probably the best international side ever.

He was criminally underated by the media in England and it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to watch him week in week out.

David Silva is the only reason I fell back in love with football. Simply a beautiful footballer, selfless team player . Really feel privileged that he played at City

In his pomp, in his position, he was the best in the world.

Such a great shame he blotted his copy book, I'd like to see him back in the body of the Kirk in some beneficial role.

What a player.

What a player, so grateful we had him for so long. His first goal against Blackpool. His ball to Dzeko at the swamp. The celebrations after he scored the opener when we beat the rags at home. A truly special footballer and City legend of the highest order

He played 710 games as a pro, never ever complained about fatigue, burn out or exhaustion. Spoke perfect English but told Sky scum he only understood Spanish to avoid their pathetic, Idiotic interviewers. Never lost his shit on the pitch and told the manager to shut up. Never complained about not getting a club birthday cake, never flashed his knob in public, never slagged the club off for anything. Never banned for drunk driving or organising seriously weird sex parties, never turned up pre season 4kg over weight, never complained when substituted or rotated. Just an absolutely perfect professional footballer, I feel blessed to have seen him, and he wil never be surpassed. Watching him receive a rapturous ovation from everyone in a packed Bernabéu was one of my proudest moments ever as a Blue
