David Silva

[horsechoker]

A classy player who unfortunately was really good for a despicable club

 

[Bubz27]

Shame it ended the way it did for him. Class footballer. City will probably build him a statue now as it's good to wait for players to retire before building them statues right.

Feels like City fans will always consider David Silva the bigger legend than Gundogan.

I think it's fair, it should be atm as:

Kompany, Silva, Agüero, Kevin de Bruyne.. And then the rest. The "first" significant purchases after the takeover who became huge success in the club and managed to take their football to another level within different set of managers has the bigger awe than the ones that have been added in last 5 years now.

Don't forget Benjani, Robinho, Santa, Adebayor and Head and Shoulders main model the Hart.

Yeah agreed - their transfer activity was hit and miss but it got them the pre Guardiola core of Kompany, KDB, Silva and Aguero. I don't think they'll ever have a better player than any of those bar Haaland for Aguero.

A magic player. City were very, very lucky to have him.

 

[NoLogo]

Not gonna lie, even as a City player, he was always one of my absolute favourites. Enjoy your retirement, maestro.

 

[cafecillos]

Fantastic player, very close to the Xavi/Iniesta tier.

 

[Greyfog]

What a player. A joy to watch!

What about Michah "burst onto the scene" Richards?

I see you left Yaya out, he won't be happy. You know how particular he is about these kind of things

Kinda like comparing Cantona to Vidic.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

One of the few City players I just can’t bring myself to hate. Such a classy footballer.

 

[ScholesyTheWise]

Yeah, I suspect there aren't that many United supporters who have any ill feelings toward him, even with the success he had with City.
A very likable player.

 

[tentan]

Probably one of my favourite players ever.

Spot on. Silva is more iconic to City, Gundogan in the last 3 seasons been incredible, winning 3 consecutive EPLs and the treble and I think his performance was better than KdB in that periods (at least in 2/3).
