David Silva for that price is a steal. If that article is true we should definitely go all out to sign him.

Re: David Silva linked
Isn't he more of an ACM played on the wings? He doesn't seem direct/pacy to me.
If we're after a winger, I'd like to have a more direct winger than the converted midfielders.

Re: David Silva linked
In what universe is James Milner worth more than David Silva? This one apparently. It's crazy.
That said, I still wouldn't particularly want Arsenal to sign him. Maybe if Cesc goes there would be room for him in midfield, but, he's inferior to Cesc in just about every way, and playing as a forward in our system just wouldn't suit him. He's just not productive enough, maybe more productive than what we have, but, still not productive enough.

For such a low price I'd love for David Silva to come to Arsenal, but I do think he is overrated. I would prefer signing Milner.

Re: David Silva linked
We truly live in crazy world right now. The transfer market are out of controll.
Silva sounds good on the paper, but sadly I don't think he would leave Spain. Things point that Real will go for him.

Re: David Silva linked
I really like David Silva to join, but, combine with SWP's rumoured move, the midget midfield department will be a big concern.

This guy, although talented, is another 10 stone, 5'7" "tippy-tappy" attacking midfielder. Sounds exactly like what we need!

He's small, but he's in a different stratosphere quality-wise to all the other attacking midfielders/wingers/wide forwards we've been linked to-Hazard, Gourcuff, Joe Cole, SWP, Rossi etc.

Re: David Silva linked
Timleaf, you rate him higher than Hazard, Gourcuff, and Joe Cole? I recognize his techincal ability, but I don't think he could cut in the PL.

Re: David Silva linked
Yeah, I do. I certainly dont see how anyone can pine for Hazard but turn their noses up at Silva, especially when they'd be available for a similar amount of money.
I'm not sure if Silva could make it in England, but I dont see why not. He's tough, both mentally and physically. He's had a very good season with Valencia and he's proven at international level, I dont think the Premier League would hold any fear for him.

Isn't he also a pretty direct player who beats players for fun? We only have Arshavin of that ilk.

They're completely different players though. It would be like comparing Arshavin and Fabregas.Timleaf said:

Re: David Silva linked
They have different characteristics and traits, but they'd both play as wide forwards in our team. So in that respect it's nothing like comparing Arshavin and Cesc who play in completely different positions.
As for Hazard, it's been said by a number of French fans on this site, and by some of the Belgians, that he's at least a year or two away from being able to come to a club like Arsenal and contribute regularly. Silva on the other hand is one of the best attacking players in Spain and is a regular for the most talented national team on earth. Maybe it just comes down to the fact that I've seen an awful lot of Valencia this season and I rate Silva extremely highly.

Re: David Silva linked
The point is they're completely different players. Hazard is a forward, concerned with scoring and creating goals, Silva is a midfielder, concerned with passing and moving the ball intelligently, and supplying a player like Hazard.
Both good players, Silva probably the better player right now, but, Hazard would give us something we don't really have - that's why some fans would like to see us sign him, and are not so bothered about David Silva.

Re: David Silva linked
Be that as it may and direct comparison or not, there's no 'probably' to the fact that Silva is currently a better player than Hazard.
And assuming we got one of them, they'd be coming in to play one of the two wide forward roles, which is why I compared them in the first place.
