Adrian Silva's stats look impressive when put up against Drinkwater's, still you face weaker opposition in Portugal and have less league matches to play. I'm well aware. Bit used correctly it can give people an idea of what he's like.

In fairness to Wes as a player he's been a great player for us. As an on field captain Imo he should never been given the job.

Then when I reply I hate myself worst of all. Anyway, this Silva guy seems a right sh1t hot ball of sexy fvcking spunk. Let's sign him. I love you all. X Hands up if you think Rumble is a massive knob head.

Silva played less minutes and was better then Drinkwater in every department. Pass completion, key passes and chances created are substantially better. To be fair (and I don't rate Drinkwater anywhere near as highly as most others on here) it's a darn sight easier to pass the ball to team mates who aren't hiding.

Sigh... minutes have nothing to do with it, they are averages. Yeah I can see he beats him in all departments. The point I was trying to make is that they are similar, and they are similar, you add in other midfielders to that and you'd see what I mean, the stats wouldn't mirror each other closely like those do. You'd have other peaks and troughs. It says to me he could be a very similar style of player.
paulftw Posted 31 August 2017 Posted 31 August 2017 Sporting fan here. Looks like Silva's move to Leicester is in full swing..if this happens Leicester will be getting one hell of a midfielder. This is a guy that gives 150% every game and he never seems to quit. He was one of the main reasons why Portugal won Euro2016. Adrien should have already been at Leicester last season to be honest.

They linked up well, but the really good link to Slimani would be Gelson Martins, Sporting best winger. Problem is Gelson Martins also links really well with Sporting best goal scorer right now, and Martins probably will be Portugal best player after Ronaldo hangs his boots, so... not that cheap.

You'd have other peaks and troughs. It says to me he could be a very similar style of player. The stats aren't similar though, at least not the passing ones. The difference between 84% and 78% when realistically every central midfield player going will have pass completion between 70-90% is pretty significant as is 0.8 v 0.5 key passes per game. (As a caveat I've said above that it's very hard to compare a player in a side with players comfortable on the ball with the shambles our lot were for the first 6 months of last season).

murphy Posted 31 August 2017 Posted 31 August 2017 If we get Silva for Drinky AND make a profit that looks like excellent business. In other news, Watford have signed Molla Wague on loan.

st albans fox Posted 31 August 2017 Posted 31 August 2017 Can't believe he is going to the trouble of flying here on the off chance that drinky will leave expect the two deals to be done or none to be done and the fact he is in the way would indicate the former
lanefox Posted 31 August 2017 Posted 31 August 2017 Jim to come on and announce the silva deal from his sources
