Franck Ribery or David Silva

[FCB_Titi_LB]

I think Barca shouldn`t try to buy ribery as big clubs are looking for him so as concerned with Silva, we can get him in low transfer fee than Ribery and both are players of almost same level.

You must be joking?
Ribery is of a higher class BUT i agree with the fact we should buy villa

Bump

Same 2 names are now being mentioned in Catalan press as the ones to choose from this summer. Reportedly, Pep would prefer Ribery.

 

[Galning]

Don't really care who we get.
Just buy the cheapest.

Although I pref Silva a bit more.

 

[Cule Angles]

I don't trust Ribery, I'd much rather have Silva

 

[Cal-FCB]

Silva without a doubt. Ribery would be a terrible signing IMO.

 

[jairzinho]

lets hope choice is David Silva, who i feel will cost us less but play better than ribery. Silva will fit into our style of play and adapt much quicker, and in long run, he will turn out to be a good purchase. ribery's temperament is not any better than robinho and we don't want to break up the harmonious spirit in the dressing room at all costs. besides, we need to make a decision on what we do with Jeffren. he is 22 and buying ribery or silva would suggest that he is not needed since the left spot is where they will occupy. jeffren should be given more playing time so we can see if he can really fit in.

I think last year my preference would have been for Ribery, but now with all the Madrid connections, I would rather get Silva.

Same 2 names are now being mentioned in Catalan press as the ones to choose from this summer. Reportedly, Pep would prefer Ribery.

That's because he has seen first hand the threat Ribery posed his team over both legs even when the rest of his teammates were shite and anonymous. Both Puyol and dani were having a hard time keeping up with him. Despite our efforts, he still managed to get on the scoresheet in the away leg.
Can Silva do the same to the best club in the world on his own?

Ribery was always my preferred choice. But after the recent developments i'm not sure.
Both are injury prone and versatile but Ribery is more of a goal threat and direct than Silva. Silva, on the other hand is younger & Spanish with good rapport with our catalan contigent and links really well with Iniesta as we've come to see for Spain. He also is more likeable and has a better attitude on & off the pitch. He even prefers Barca over Madrid from his interview 2years ago...(dunno if he has changed his stance on that )

Really, both 've their pros and cons. And, it's up to Pep to decide. I'll be happy with either. Villa is still my first choice but it's becoming very apparent that he doesn't figure in Pep's plans anymore.

I'll be closely watching both in the WC.
