Manchester City beat Chelsea in race to sign £29m Valencia forward David Silva

Manchester City have agreed a £29million deal with Valencia for Spain international David Silva.

The 24-year-old, who had also been courted by Real Madrid and Chelsea, is now expected to finalise terms on a four year contract worth around £160,000 a week.
City delegates have been in Spain to iron out the deal amid concerns that Chelsea may step in at the eleventh hour but are confident everything is now in place.

They plan to team the silky midfielder with Yaya Toure and James Milner in a revamped side geared not just for Champions League qualification but a title push.
City are still searching for a right-back and will add a striker too before the end of the window but Silva has been a priority, as revealed in Sportsmail last month.

The one-time Mancheser United target had been keen on a move to Chelsea but they were unwilling to match cash-strapped Valencia's valuation.

Not seen too much of him myself but if the big guns were after him it would suggest he's decent.

He's the real deal mate - only (very small) reservation is about his build and the premier league, and for that we'll have to just wait and see.

FUCKING QUALITY PLAYER.

Silva
Toure
Torres
Sanchez
Ozil

Half way there.

Edit:Adding in a 5th player.

How many players have we already signed according to Daily Mail? This must be tenth.

This is why we have rumours topic.
