He spent 5 years at City, never asked to leave and even refused to go when the club tried to flog him to Middlesbrough.Not knocking, thought he was a high quality player but he never felt he got us as a club/fan base and would leave if anyone offered him more cash.

Judging by the transfer forum an awful lot of our supporters don’t have a clue what the word ‘confirmed’ means.

Started one game (Spain's only loss) in 2010 World Cup. Go figure...More stat padding when Silva won 125 caps and three major trophies in one of the best sides in international history. He is one of the greatest Spanish players of all time.

I'd still have him in my top 5 players... Not saying he wasn't amazing just think there's a few other players who are ahead of him for title of greatest player at city. He has very similar stats to those of Cesc Fabregas in the prem and for Spain wasn't near to Iniestas' level so I think there's definitely room for debate!The crayons have been put away now you'll have to wait till tomorrow.
A fucking dumb one it has to be said.David Silva - great player but overrated by some of our fanbase. 'Best player to play for the club' is the line that triggers me. Went missing too often in the big games and loved a stat pad vs the likes of Hull and Blackpool! As I said, great player but not the 'greatest'. Just my opinion ;).
Tevez was an embarrassment to the club and should never have been forgiven by anyone, and his "heroic return" was massively overplayed by the media as they love a good narrative. Scored a few in a rout against a god awful Norwich and got an assist against Chelsea (mainly thanks to an unbelievable bit of play from Nasri). That aside, he was largely anonymous after his return, except being lucky not to get sent off against QPR, ruining our chances of the title with his petulance.

Completely agree - nowhere near the level of Yaya, Tevez or Aguero in terms of pure elite star quality, and even Gundogan had a bigger individual impact on a title win last season than Silva ever did.
His lack of impact in the final third in big games - especially in Europe - was a waste of an attacking spot and played a big part in our failures in Europe/the Pellegrini era. Great technically and aesthetically impressive, but it’s highly unlikely he’d have had the same impact that Colin Bell did on his good-but-not-great team.

Great to hear it's not just me..! How does he have a statue and Yaya doesn't...Give it a couple more seasons and he won't even be the best Silva to have worn the shirt (In my controversial opinion)!Completely agree - nowhere near the level of Yaya, Tevez or Aguero in terms of pure elite star quality, and even Gundogan had a bigger individual impact on a title win last season than Silva ever did.
