I by no means want him replaced but during this prolonged absence I've been looking for a player that can come in and take on his role when he inevitably leaves/retires.

This endeavour has been depressing because I have come up empty handed. Of course, there is no reason that a younger player will not present themselves as having the same qualities in the next few years (Manu Garcia may very well be the one) but right now I am not aware of a single "finished product" central attacking midfielder that could fill his boots. And especially not at his level of skill and consistency.

We are spoilt, to be sure.

The ONLY one is Özil and we won't be getting him. Plus I don't like his miserable face.
 
This really has become utterly frustrating. I would have hoped he'd have at least made the bench!

In fairness, when we signed him David Silva couldn't have taken David Silva's role.
 
Between Silva, Kompany and Aguero injuries we've probably already dropped 4-6 points, so fucking frustrating.

Ozil? If you could roll Cazorla and Ozil into one player you'd have something like Silva. Ozil needs his teammates to play well. He's the final pass guy. Silva has everything he has and more

I was going to write something like this—thanks for saving me the time.

The only other player that may be close to Silva is Thiago but he still has some way to go for convincing.

Thiago is quality and would have him at City pronto. But for me it's Isco who has what it takes to fill Silva's shoes.
