Santi >> Silva & Mata

Admins multi-board Chelsea Manchester City

I say this without a bias opinion but it's just clear to see that Santi is a better than the other 2 Spanish magicians.

Silva in his 2nd season was world class and played a massive part in City's league triumph

Mata has had a fantastic 2nd season up till now

So if this is anything to go by then hopefully Santi will be ridiculously good next year (hopefully we keep him), he was ahead of Mata for Spain in the Euro's and rightly so.

But why do I rate Santi above these 2 players??
Well I believe they are all at the same level ability wise however Santi can do everything both Mata & Silva can do............ with BOTH feet which the others can't do so he edges if for me. Also it' unfortunate that Santi came at a time where we are at 'our weakest ever under Wenger' so he will get overlooked due to his club's failings in most competitions.

I'm predicting a few counter debates claiming 'well Messi is 1 footed' blahh blahh but that's just a different case nobody is Messi and Ronaldo being better is fairly debatable anyway.

Another thing to add is that I believe their vision, touch and technique are all on par but skill wise Santi is the superior one, Mata & Silva are good dribblers but their skill usually involves cutting on to their left foots then making the pass whereas anywhere on the field Santi has shown that he is well capable of beating 3 or 4 players then making the pass.

This will be proved more next year
