He was good today, impressed me quite a lot.

Got alot of time for balotelli. Bloke is pure entertainment.

I noticed how Man city are such a physically big and powerful team, they'll be a massive threat when Mancini gets a system to suit them.

Mirth

Is Richards better than Sagna?

Ricky1985

Not half as good a defender, not even close, but his power and pace is immense.

They're their complete opposite of our Smurf Soccer.
Big, athletic fellas. Remember when we looked like Citeh, 10 years ago? We had big but cultured guys.

Clrnc

Talking about that, 10 years ago Henry and co were thumping Citeh for fun year in year out.

i think silva is brilliant. tevez, yaya, de jong, balotelli and kompany are all class players. with a few additions (a proper winger, full back and perhaps a "playmaker") they will be hard to beat next season.

Ricky1985

I'd agree on all of them except Silva. He has class and bags of ability, but he's just about the most inefficient top player I've ever seen in the final third.

Clrnc

I know you don't rate him Ricky, but I just don't get why. Seriously that guy is top class in the final 3rd, created and scored goals for City this season with his own brilliance inside there.

Ricky1985

He has poor composure when a chance comes his way, and I don't think he has that special skill that a Cesc has to play perfect little passes in the final third.

Kel Varnsen

he is so creative, mobile and intelligent and creates goal chances, so his inefficiency in the final third doesn't bother me (or it does as he plays for city).

would love him here. would be perfect for our football. think he's on the same level as nasri.

Clrnc

Beg to differ Ricky, would love him here really. He is so much more creative than Nasri for instance. Seen him lob or thread passes with great vision.

Qwiss

I agree with Ricky 100%, Silva tends to look alot better than he actually is. What Ricky says about his inability in front of goal and his final ball passing not being at that top level is spot on. Exciting player to watch, great dribbler but he's just lacking that finishing touch. Maybe he'll find it next season.

Silva is similar to modric

Qwiss

Modric has played way deeper all season though. Silvas played in a Nasri like role, Modric in a Wilshere role.
