Haywood_6 Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 Hope Silva gets a good move somewhere in Europe and enjoys the last part of his career. He must bitterly regret signing for us. There is a good player there but it has never worked from the start
HybridFox Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 I really feel sorry for the guy. The whole saga was a catastrophe. He's a very good player and I wish we'd seen more of him in a blue shirt. But these things happen in football and it's a no brainer when it's a choice between him and Tielemans. Good luck to him though. Hopefully signs with a good team in Europe and can get himself back into the Portugal squad.
foxile5 Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 Echo that. He's obviously very talented and must've thought that this move would have been the making of him. He must be bitterly disappointed at how its turned out. And I am too.
Deeg67 Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 I'm still not 100% convinced he's not with us next season. If he doesn't wind up at Monaco it could easily happen. It'd be interesting to see if all the geniuses who've decided he's a hack give him a fair shake.
Lesta2014 Posted 4 July 2019 Posted 4 July 2019 I’d keep him. Could be a very good player for us. Him and tielmans for the number 8 position is very good!

I certainly don't think we should be desperate to sell him unless he has completely given up on his time at Leicester. He would be good cover for Tielemans and Maddison. We don't have any other creative midfielders.
Gubbins Posted 4 July 2019 Posted 4 July 2019 I think we've gotta look at selling him assuming we get Tielemans. We have too many midfielders as is and we're lumbered with King and James until their contracts run out. At least it's actually possible to find a buyer for Silva.

I think it is a mistake to talk about generic midfielders. We have a lot of defensive midfielders, we only have one creative midfielder, Maddison, hopefully two if Tielemans re-signs. If Silva does leave, which would probably be the best move for him, we would have to replace him.

Really have to disagree on this, when he played for us he didn't seem physical enough for a box to box midfielder and wasn't as good as N'didi, Hamza or Mendy. He has to moved on or we have to move on Mendy.
splinterdream Posted 4 July 2019 Posted 4 July 2019 He either wants to go to monaco or he doesn't. If we negotiate a deal with himself going the other way then the call would go to him to ask if he'd like to go, there'd be little point of calling him to warn him he might be part of a deal if he isn't.

Guest SO1 Posted 4 July 2019 Posted 4 July 2019 Football isn't like American sports is it? Hardly ever see players traded for other players in football. Seems simpler to negotiate contracts separately. ??????

Years ago, and I'm a bit hazy on details (help me out here guys), Arsenal signed a player (Clive Allen?) simply so they could swap him for another they wanted (Kenny Sansom?) As I recall, there was some beef between Allen's club (QPR?) and the club who had the player Arsenal really wanted (Palace?) so Palace (?) couldn't deal directly with QPR (?) to buy Allen (?). So Arsenal bought Allen (?) (who never played a game for them) and almost immediately swapped him for Sansom (?).

Clarkey123 Posted 4 July 2019 Posted 4 July 2019 If we really are serious about cracking the top 6 silva, ghezzal and mendy all need to go

Just make sure to keep that firewall between politics and football or I'm doomed.

My point is more that our squad is far too big and Silva unlike many of the other deadwood is someone we actually can move on permanently. And I doubt we'd need to replace him, having 3 creative midfielders is overkill. If we're unfortunate enough to lose the first two to injury then wel just have to jig our formation accordingly.
baldeagle Posted 4 July 2019 Posted 4 July 2019 Good riddance .Rumoured to be on a huge wedge and doesn’t suite the premier league . Apart from a few neat little touches he looked like a complete fish out of water . I am not suggesting he’s a poor player just doesn’t suit the Prem
