Super Silva

[Green & Blue]

Great video of Silva single handedly tearing the Usa apart.He's just so comfortable on the ball and his movement and vision really is amazing.

Silva is an amazing player... but that USA back line consisted of an on loan Leeds utd player, fc twente defender, a 23 year old new york red bulls defender, and a player who plays in the midfield for West Ham, all playing together for the first time. Not much to go by.

yeah he should have thought about the players put in front of him and played shit because they werent Champions league quality, lets sell him eh?

[Blue Since 76]

Was that video created by David's mum? It must have every touch he had in the game on it, including the bad ones. Saying that, the Yankees were really bad - they should stick to rounders and netball.

Tbf, I watched the whole match and was pleasantly surprised to see him shoot with his right foot. And it was on target! I suspect he'll be working on his finishing this summer.

Silva is fucking immense... but that defense would struggle in the championship.

I'm not sure tbh.

[PeterParker]

Has anyone watched him regulary at Valencia? Did Juan Mata played alongside him?

The reason i asked is because i saw the U21 game between England and Spain, and saw Mata and he is a copycat of Silva. He is has only the left leg like Silva, but has the same style of play and class and i am thinking if they played together up front, being so much alike.

[Goaters 103]

If he could shoot he would be complete. A gem of a player, we are lucky to have him.

Found this on SSN and found it kinda interesting.

David Silva told Revista de La Liga that he is revelling in the freedom he can play with at Manchester City.

Valencia sold Silva to City last summer for £24m, since when the 25-year-old has nailed down a starting place in Roberto Mancini's first XI.

Silva has started the new Premier League season strongly with two goals already to his name and he fully intends to cash in on the greater space that he is afforded in England.

"In Spain I generally always played as a support striker, towards the end I played more in the middle and I liked it," he said. "Here I've been selected to play a bit of everywhere in midfield; I've played on both wings and in the middle.

"At the moment I am playing on the wings and am enjoying the freedom that the manager has given me.

"Here it's all about speed and the direct style of play, teams are constantly looking for goals. In Spain it's slower, more possession-based and overall the game is read better.

"Also, there is a lot of pressing here and consequently more space is created for one to exploit. In Spain defending is more organised and it can be difficult to break down.

"However, it depends because you could be with a team that organises itself well but then gets countered. It can be difficult."

While City have swelled their ranks with big-name signings like Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri, Valencia - who finished third in La Liga last season - continue to sell their best players in order to ease crippling debts.

David Villa and Raul Albiol have already departed, to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, and earlier this month Juan Mata followed their example by joining Chelsea.

Nevertheless, Silva believes Unai Emery - who has just completed the signing of highly-rated Spanish defender Victor Ruiz from Napoli - will still be able to mount a strong challenge in the top half of the La Liga table.

"Yes, they've signed well and have a good coach so they'll continue being up there," he reflected. "Sure, they've had to sell in order to maintain their economic status, but overall they will continue to do well.

"There are those teams that are always up there: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Villarreal and Sevilla.
"There is also Atletico Madrid and, of course, Malaga who have reinforced well and they too could be in the ascendancy.

"One thing for sure - it seems to be just Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top. I hope it doesn't become just them. I'd like it to be more exciting and competitive like the English league.

"Here the fans still applaud you if you lose a game. Even when the match is finished they stay to show their support.

"In Spain it's different if you lose the ball or the other team is playing better they won't applaud you. They may even whistle or jeer.

"I believe that the culture is different. I had a great time in La Liga. I hope to return one day and enjoy it as much as I have done already."

Not surprising, but he sounds as smart as he plays

Great video, helps to feed my serious man crush.

I read on here that Merson said Silva was going to flop when he arrived. Does anyone have a clip of that? Would be highly amusing.
