They will be next year yeah they got relegated. But we've had some terrible friendly results over the years it really doesn't mean a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinekersApples Posted 8 July 2019 Share Posted 8 July 2019 (edited) Bunch of kids and fringe players Edited 8 July 2019 by LinekersApples No edit, would just like to point out the international rule of only 2 Silvas at a time may be the reason.

Frost Posted 8 July 2019 Share Posted 8 July 2019 Percy's latest article stated he's been told he can move on. Not included on the training camp (didn't even realise). Slimani and Diabate have been told they can go as well. No surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collymore Posted 9 July 2019 Share Posted 9 July 2019 Imagine we didn't know Silva at all but then bought him tonight for £25m - We'd all be questioning why we needed another midfielder but nevertheless be excited about him. Let's give him a clean slate and a fresh start. If I was him or his agent I'd being trying mega hard to make it work at Leicester. To be fair at times he looked quality and now he's leaned more about us he'll only be stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair at times he looked quality and now he's leaned more about us he'll only be stronger. But at the same time, his 80k wage is huge. Would you want him to start ahead of Wilf, Youri, Maddison, Hamza or even Mendy? He's not a bad player, clearly talented to be where he is. Probably with more time he'd maybe get a chance and would do better in a middle 3 rather than a 'double pivot'. But the fact he isn't in France with us, his wage and the events with his arrival in the club its maybe the best to give him that clean slate elsewhere.

He ran on stylishly for his debut late on against Huddersfield. Sadly I will always remember him in the 5-0 defeat at Palace literally being brushed off the ball time after time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But regarding the bolded part, i dont recall him ever looking 'quality' ... there was one game he did well in, but wasnt that against non PL opponents? There are times that certain players dont fit in with certain clubs and it doesnt mean they are bad players but for me i feel Silva is one of them for LCFC . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Might' being the optimal word here... Dont get me wrong i think he is a great player i just dont think he fits. If Brendan thinks and wants to keep him then ill go with the flow, would be ecstatic to be proven wrong but based on what ive seen, i'd rather sell. Best for him and best for us.

If he's with us we may as well utilise him or at least give him game time and see if he can offer something. But, I feel like there was a rumour around extra appearances triggering additional payments to sporting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many dynamics. I see the other squad players perhaps looking at him and thinking "why does he deserve another chance" but then I see "wow, he was guy that never gived up and it can always happen, never say it's the end" I just want every player for us to well whilst they're under contract.. Secretly Nacho too but really fear he's doomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he'd be quality in a different league, but based on his time here, I can't see it. He won't get the time he needs on the ball in the PL. He's not cut out for it. When you consider his age and his £80k a week wages, it seems a no-brainer to try to shift him. We'd be much better off letting him go and replacing him with a younger version - better suited to the league, cheaper wages and happy to be a squad player. Someone on here said that if he plays another game for us, we'll owe Sporting a £5m appearances fee, as well. Can anyone confirm this? If that's true, then I think there's no chance he'll play for us again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
