Keep telling yourself that. You'll be annoyed when you see him play a few times for City.
I've seen him play but I'm confused to what that has to do with what I said or how what I said implies I don't think Silva is a good player? We were never going to buy him and Griezmann in the same window so I really couldn't be arsed that City bought him he's a great young player our rivals buy great players that's the nature of the beast.

Basically this. He's a phenomenal player. Griezmann is a far superior player though. Let's hope we can pip them to Mendy.
Aye, just because City are signing Silva let's not forget that Griezmann is the best player in the world outside of Madrid and Barca.

Safe to say we've been terrible in this transfer window. City will walk the league and we won't make a signing until 31th of August.
If we dont get our players , i still expect chelsea to walk the league again and city to fall short.

Whoever we are chasing, it looks like we started the chase about two months ago so if Sanchez is one of them, won't be surprised if it happens sooner than expected.
I think we need to announce a signing a two just to keep the muppets happy :D and to keep us from descending into doom and gloom.

Surely a brilliant WUM. He got us all. Valencia on the wing gave it away

If City buy him I am not that bothered. Cannot believe they will spend £70m of their budget on another attacking player. What formation does Pep want to play next season 1-2-4-3? They need at least 3 defenders and a new goalkeeper. It's like buying a bucket with a diamond incrusted handle but it still has a hole in it.

I think Silva is really good considering he is 22 as well 60/70m though, its going to be a crazy summer! Surprised this is the first name City heavily linked with though, they need a new gk, cb, lb,rb, cm but attacking wise they are massively stacked. David Silva still has a top season or two in him as well I would have thought. I would place Silva above Nolito and Sterling but not sure I would place him above Silva, DeBruyne or Sane, luxury signing for me

Can't believe I've been taken in by this the last few pages. Well done :lol:
:lol:, There is no proper cover for valencia in case of injuries. Is TFM ready remains to be seen. Darmian has not adapted well to the league.

Perisic has been quite excellent.
I'm not even sure who he is. The rest I don't dont want here.

Our attack has been horrible this season. One grizemann will replace Ibra's goals but we need a lot more if Jose gets the same out of the rest as he has this season.

Except in a jose philosophy in big games even the wingers are full backs against big teams , and when they lack work rate its even worse.
That could be down to Jose not fully trusting his fullbacks. When Valencia plays, the winger in front of him rarely drops that deep. That will change next season I reckon

This is exactly what i am talking about. Dont even need him , just cutting our wings and we must return the favour.

Gurardiola sticking his nose in our buisness and doing negetive campaigning against us , the war is truly on and its gonna get bitter now , We Effing get to our senses he and city is going to do everything to again and competitve edge and force his philosophy down to epl teams. He dint even need a creative player yet sticking his nose here.

We must get fabinho now.

Do you think Griezmann along as our only signing in a forward position would be enough to elevate us to the next level?
We don't need to elevate to the the next level. We've created plenty of chances this season, we just need some clinical attackers and we'll be fine.

The list of potentially gettable players is Mahrez, Cuadrado, Perisic and Douglas Costa. And maybe Neymar.
That's bleak, only Neymar is of the required quality, I thought Costa might be a decent option but the general view of the Bayern fans is they'd be glad to be shot of him and that he's done nothing of note since the first 2 or 3 months he was there, not to mention they say he has a poor attitude.

Honestly I'm not worried about this since it looks likely we will get Griezmann. No need to panic.

And I think Mata's form this season has played a role in us not getting Silva, he has done very well. Even worked hard to get back from his injury and Mou seemed to love that.

He wanted more money too after doing feck all this season. Bayern dont want to be pressurised and want to get rid, his season didnt help too. Typical frustrating Brazilian player.

Condescend and sarcasm all you want, If you dont respect the principles of football and top quality philosophies you end up second best. Thats what has happened with us before when we lost 2 cl finals.

1. We had one outlet claim we were interested (Canal+)

2. Jose informed us that woodward has had the list for two months

3. Jose said yesterday "I don't think so" in regards to a silva transfer question.

I really don't understand the emotional energy going into this thread.:confused: He's obviously not at the top of the list

Trust in Jose.

Think he looks the part and from him personally would certainly fit in more with Pep's style then Jose's not really a surprise hes picked them if we were in for him, another exciting player coming to the premiership so can only be a good thing.

This is just like De Bryune. A world class player simply being allowed to move to a rival. Pissed off.

Croatia's best player with Modric last Euro's, fast, skillful, good dribbler, two footed, quite strong and direct, can assist and score. Only that Inter is absolutely terrible.
