a true great footballer, probable the best most technical midfielder in the premiership but Mesi is in a whole different league, and Ronaldo is also better than Silva, but he is deffinatly in the top 5 players on the planet at the moment
In the way he guilds past players, yes. But Messi is by far better. And that sounds ridiculous to say, because Silva's the best player in the Premier League.
Silva should be world player of the year
If Messi retired today, Silva would be the best player in the world.
Would say Ronaldo is better. But definitely top 5.
ronaldo doesn't really do it in the big games
Silva won't be at city next season............He'll be at Barca or Madrid.
Ronaldo's never done it in the big games, he never will. He hasn't got the mentality.
Silva is the better player.
Ronaldo has a more complete game but everything Messi does is so brilliant because he is an overall instinctive player.
Silva won't leave for a few more years
Not while he's playing like this
Silva will play his best years at City, he'll not leave whilst they're this good.
He is better than Ronaldo, and Ronaldo doesn't come close to Messi.
I said as soon as Silva signed for City, that he will become the Premiership's best footballer in the space of a year. He is just a joy to watch.
Id say he is just behind Messi and Ronaldo
If Messi retired today, Silva would be the best player in the world.
=============================
No he wouldnt because iniesta and Xavi are both better than him. As is fabregas thinking about it.
But he is a world class footballer.
Xavi is one of the most overrated players in the world
Xavi is the reason that both spain and barcelona dictate every game they play with about 70% possesion.
Overrated, not in the slightest.
I'm not getting into the whole best player in the world argument...but...I just don't understand how people can say;
"Messi and Ronaldo are better than Silva, but he is top 5."
There is no logic in that sentence! By only stating two better players you are saying Silva is the '3rd best player in the world' surely!
Before you get on your high horses and soap boxes, I do actually realise that '3rd', is top 5. I would just like you to name the other two as well
Or am I being pedantic?
Stevie Ireland had > potential than Iniesta!
The top five in the world atm are
Messi
Ronaldo
Xavi
Iniesta
Fabregas.
Silva is defo top ten though.
But the fact he gets left out of the spain team in favour of pedro, iniesta and xavi speaks volumes when it comes to bigger games.
Im not putting him down, he is a world class player. Potentially the best in the league.
Not top 3 in the world however.
tevie Ireland had > potential than Iniesta!

Oh dear.
Please behave.
Iniesta's the best CM in the world.
I can't believe what I am reading. One of the 5 best players in the world?! The guy is a class act, probably best midfielder in the PL but without even needing to think, Ronaldo, Messi, Xavi, Cesc and Iniesta are all better than him.
