Fabulous player and everything he does is so elegant. One of my favourite players despite playing for City.
24m for him was an absolute steal.

How Good is David Silva?
- Thread starter Nighteyes
- Start date
Between 'quite' and 'very' I'd say.
£24 million, what an absolute steal.
Excellent player... Didn't he turn us down one January transfer window, when he was at Valencia? I'm nearly sure I remember Sky Sports reporting as much.
I remember being strongly linked with him when they played at OT in pre-season.
One of my favourites too, always looks like he has time on the ball even though he's usually surrounded. Rarely makes the wrong decision too.
Not good enough to deserve a thread.
Good player but plays for a small team, so irrelevant. Would like to see him at a big club one day.
Yup, amazes me that he doesn't play for one of Europe's elite.
I remember we were linked with him seemingly every window for ages.
Quality player.
Brilliant player. On a par with the likes of Di Maria, Aguero and Hazard imo.
Fabulous footballer
I'd say him and Aguero are the two best in the league (although Di Maria is obviously up there too, he just hasn't been here long enough yet).
He's the #10 I wish Mata was, to be frank.

Absolutely brilliant player. I was arguing that Mata is as good a player Silva is, but I realize that I was totally wrong, he's simply a level or two above. A productive Iniesta in my eyes.
He's the best player in the league for me.
Not only is he absolutely brilliant, but he's rarely injured or off form either so that makes him better than Aguero, Hazard, etc.

He's a natural dictator of play, but somehow we'd probably have sucked that out of him.

He's like a CM who plays out wide. Becomes a ball magnet especially they're struggling to get a hold of the game.
Remember us being linked to him for ages when he was still in Spain. Could have been a great buy for us for just over £20 million. Shame we missed out on him.
He's not better than Hazard and he's not even the best player at Man City.
Very short memory if you don't think he's ever off form as well.
He was off form for large parts in the season following their first title IIRC
Silva is City's best player. Moyes blew 40 million thinking he was getting a Silva clone. Well done Dave
He's excellent, the goal today was a bit of magic and I wonder if Pellegrini will start just playing him in a free role behind Aguero rather than using the two striker formation with Silva playing off the left.
Also, you'd normally think players of his size and type would struggle in England but he's done well
I love Hazard but no, Silva is a better.
Although they are completely different players.
Loads of people thought they were similar players, to be fair. That Mata was effectively Silva plus goals.
Not that that excuses Moyes.
you're beyond deluded if you think that right now, Hazard is as good a player as Silva.
Silva is better than Hazard it's not even a debate. Hazard may go on to surpass (debatable) him but as it stands now Silva is on another level.
Hazard isn't on those levels.
Righto.... but what was so hilarious to suggest Hazard is better if you agree he's as good as Silva?
It's pathetic, before todays game if i'd said that no one would have battered an eye lid.
Bet that changes again should Hazard have a stormer tomorrow.
Yes he is and yes he is.
Of course he has periods of poor form, pretty much like every single player in the world. But he's definitely more consistent than Hazard if you're going to level that claim at him.
I think some people give Hazard a hard time on here. He's consistently influencing games, looks extremely well rounded. No real weakness.Righto.... but what was so hilarious to suggest Hazard is better if you agree he's as good as Silva?

But, in this instance, it's more about how good Silva is than Hazard not being a great player.
Hazard is not better than Silva or Neymar for that matter.
He's easily better than Hazard.
You worded your post very oddly to be fair which is the reason for his confusion.
