Samir Nasri or David Silva

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Silva is a divine footballing entity.

Hey, c'mon, our David is better than that! Oh, and Nasri is another Arse shitehawk. As bad as Fabregarse.

Nasri was one of Arsenal's also-rans before this season, Silva has been a stand out player for quite a few seasons at Valencia.

Oh sorry I forgot, only what happens in the Premier League counts. ©MOTD

Well surely if you are comparing two players, you compare them in the league they both play in...

That's not a level playing field though is it, considering Nasri's been in the prem for a few years and Silva's still finding his feet

I don't see why you'd discount what they've done in other leagues. If you're comparing players you compare the consistent level they've attained across their career IMO.

They are both brilliant fotballers.This is Nasris first really good season, but Silva is already showing that he will undoubtedly be a huge success.I really like both of them.

Completely fair point but given the OP is asking Silva or Nasri and this is a Man City site, it's likely that the hypothetical question is, if you were making a Premiership team and you had to pick out of Nasri and Silva, who would you pick?....I'd go for Nasri right now. In reality, it means little. None of it's true. In 18 months, the answer could be completely different but right now, I'd rather have Nasri in my team than Silva.

Both very good footballers,but like people have pointed out,Nasri has had more experience playing in the prem and working with the players around him.Can't wait to see Silva's second season at City.

 

[Batigol]

They are both great players, but not same type of player even if they have same position in the team formation.. Silva is more of a playmaker like Xavi, Sneijder, Modric etc and isnt, have never been and probably never will be a someone who scores alot of goals.
Nasri is more a forward/winger like Bale, Pedro, Ronaldo etc.
So IMO comparing stats is kinda irrelevant.(And Silva should really be played in Yayas position like he had in Valencia)
