David Silva Farewell

[nottsblue]

Played his final game for us. Thank you sir for all you have achieved with us. A class act who will forever be in our hearts. Not the ending we wanted but good luck at your next club.

Adios senor

[sheblue]

Cant agree more. So sad for him to be treated like this.
Imagine playing gundo-side-ways / back pass gan instead of a player like David Silva.
Laughable.
Fucking laughable.

[PeterParker]

Sad that he had his last game into this travesty.

[Dubaimancityfan]

I feel so sorry for him to go out in this way. Should have started or at least came on for full 2nd half. We needed his magic for this match one last time.
Goodbye big Dave, you will always be a legend for us.

[aaron bond]

Sad to see him go out in a game like that.

I wouldn’t have started him last night, but if Pep had got the team selection right and played our usual 4-3-3 and included at least 1 more attacker such as Foden we would have been leading.

Dave would have been the perfect player to bring on in the second half. Calm on the ball, helping us retain possession, and potentially getting us another goal.

[Dubciteh]

The greatest.

Pity we couldnt get him a champs league.

He should have been on at half time for gundo along with some width.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

What a shit way to end his city career.

Btw why the fuck is he going to Italy anyway?

[Mase]

What a shit way to end his city career.

Btw why the fuck is he going to Italy anyway?

Because Rome shits all over Manchester most likely

[Clowncrete]

Farewell to a true legend of the game.

Saw this on reddit the other day. Only one now left of the original Mancini team:

Slow paced league. Great for older technical players.

[PeterParker]

Who's that pretty boy last on the right?

[Mase]

Who's that pretty boy last on the right?

There’s some legends on that pic and then there’s Alex.

[dazby]

Thanks El Mago, it's been emotional.

[sheblue]

He will be back at some stage for a proper farewell when we get past the C19.

David Silva: Man City announce plans for statue at Etihad Stadium

David Silva's final match for Manchester City saw him come on against Lyon as an 84th-minute substitute

Manchester City have announced plans for a statue of Spanish playmaker David Silva at Etihad Stadium.

Silva's successful 10-year spell at City came to an end after Saturday's Champions League defeat by Lyon.

Signed from Valencia in 2010, the midfielder, 34, made 436 appearances and helped City win 14 trophies.

"David is a transformational player, a quiet leader who has inspired everyone around him," said City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.

"David's statue will act as a lasting reminder of the wonderful moments that he gave us, not only as an incredible footballer, but as an inspiring ambassador who represented this football club with great dignity at all times."

The statue will be unveiled in 2021, along with another tribute dedicated to former City captain Vincent Kompany, who left the club last year and announced earlier on Monday he was retiring from playing.

Silva's contribution will also be commemorated by the naming of a training pitch and mosaic in his honour at City's training ground.

Silva made 309 Premier League appearances, scoring 60 goals and playing an instrumental part in City's four title wins in 2012, 2014, 2018 and 2019.

In domestic cup competitions, he played 57 times and won two FA Cups, five League Cups and three Community Shields.

Silva holds the record for the most European appearances for City, having played 70 Champions League matches over the past decade.

The former Spain international, who was in the squads to win the 2010 World Cup and the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, has not yet announced where he will play next season.

They left Vinnie alone there - big mistake.
