I always like Silva and I wish him a happy retirement.
Time for this thread to be moved to the legends section
Class Player.
How will he be remembered?
He's a bit of a needle player like Iniesta albeit left footed. That silky artistic technician floating around the pockets around the number 10, advanced 8 and sometimes right flank areas. At Valencia, he was more of a proper 10. Under Pep, he evolved and his off the ball work really improved.
He has all those qualities Iniesta has on the ball. This pushes me to the question: In that well oiled peak Barca side under Pep, if you swap him in for Iniesta, do you really lose anything substantial as a sum of all parts? I really doubt. Open to differing opinions though.
