Re: Is Silva finally a marquee signing?
I wouldn't say Rob or tevez were. For me a marquee signing is one where the player could walk into any team in the world and which makes people think 'fuck me'. People thought 'fuck me' when we bought Rob but more so cos he was a gimmick more than anythin. Also at the point of purchase neither Rob or tevez would get into any team in the world. For me torres would be the signing which makes people go 'fuck me' and get into any team in the world. As for silva, he's more close than Rob or tevez to bein a marquee signing but still just that little bit off being one, imo.
