David Silva

Hmm you never know though, if we make that offer they might be forced to accept it. Although as it stands they are still joint 1st in the league mainly due to Falcao so i'd imagine they would want to keep him untill the summer so they can try get themselves into the CL ( hope they do ), but say we offered Torres + £££ i think they might accept it in January.

And knowing our luck we'll ruin him mate Na in all honesty though i'd rather have him in January so he can have 5 months then a pre season / summer etc to bed him into the team for the season after so we can launch serious attacks on the league and other competitions

I saw an interview where they said he's going nowhere in Jan, but may be forced to sell him next season.

If they keep their form up they could potentially be in the mix for the league, unlikely but would love to see it.

I think it then comes down to you and City competing for him.

Of course would be better for you getting him in Jan, I just think it's extremely unlikely.

Silva got his ovation due to his achievements for Spain. In the 10/11 season Iniesta was treated like a hero everywhere Barca went domestically (his tribute to the late Daniel Jarque even made him a hero amongst Espanyol supporters).

Sounds reasonable, Always, because he was pretty cràp against Madrid so don't see why he'd get that reaction.

Liverpool said the same with Torres though and countless other scenarios, if the moneys on the table they may be forced to take it, Atletico need the money. 9 times out of 10 Roman gets his man and i suspect his patience with Torres has worn thin and after witnessing first hand Falcao absouletely destroying us i doubt he'll want to let City even get a sniff of signing him, we'll see though. Can see whoever losing out on him going for Cavani.

And same i'd love them too challenge for the league, they're doing great

I get what you mean about Torres, but you could see he wasn't enjoying his football there, whereas Falcao is loving it.

The club won't be forced to be honest, as they can wait until summer and know they'll get a huge fee anyway. Getting CL is paramount and he's integral to them achieving it. I think they will now. Valencia are quite off the pace so can't see them dropping to 5th. They should have been in it this year. They're better than Malaga.

Boris, are you sure they weren't giving Joe Hart a standing ovation? That would make more sense. Silva was pretty quiet in that game.

No, Silva got his ovation when he was substituted after about 75 minutes.

I was joking, Boris.

No you wern't but I accept your apology.
