He was excellent at Juventus. For the most part...had a bad injury iirc and a bit quieter on his return to their team,but still did ok.He really wasn't excellent. Propped up by better midfielders around him.
Funny he can't produce by himself when supported with Carrick
Last season was his first in the prem,after no pre season training, and after playinng deep into the summer after his national team progressed the dustance in the euros
David Silvas first season in english football was pretty low profile before he settled in and produced ths magic week in week out in a wholly different physically challenging environment than he had been used to.
I hate utd as much as anyone on this site but to judge him after an average first season,and attempt to say he was rubbish at Juventus,when we tried to sign him from that club two summers ago,and make no mistaks we really wanted him....makes no sense at all.
Yes he is over priced,yes he is a knob,but he is a quality player which is why he plays centrsl ,midfield for France,one of the most 'technical' skilful international teams on the planet.
