Last chance to see this magician in action. David Silva has announced he will be leaving at the end of the season after ten years at City. Gutted.

The best player of all time at City - bar none.
Never thought I would see anyone better than Colin Bell but Silva
was on a different level. He made passes that defied geometry & physics at times.
A truly wonderful, gifted footballer.

I know we do a lot of due diligence on players during scouting. Check their private lives etc and make sure their is nothing controversial and make sure they will fit in with their team mates etc.
Don't know if we were doing it back when we brought Silva in, but we've been remarkably lucky with the original spine we brought in. Hart, Kompany, Zabaleta, Toure, Silva and Aguero. Aside from Toure, and possibly Hart. The rest have been model pros. Happy to play and then fade back into the shadows until next matchday. No egos, no falling out of nightclubs in the early hours, no stupid posts on social media. No agitating to go elsewhere, just 100% professionalism.

Top player, completely overlooked like Aguero for the individual accolades. Was brilliant last season even though he’s on the decline slightly.

He is on the decline and next season will be his last. Expect Foden to get more and more game time as the season progresses to replace him. Foden is some talent but he has a very big pair of boots to fill. That's for sure!

Canada has money for facilities, is the 3rd most populous country in CONCACAF, gets to play arguably the easiest confed to qualify (Oceanina only gets 1), and has a unique home field advantage. They have only qualified once in their history. Italy and Argentina have won things.

Canada cares 10x as much about hockey as any other sport. Soccer isn’t a priority there at all. It’s like India. Second most populous country in the world, fairly easy to qualify in Asia, but they care way more about cricket.
