Goodbye Pennant to Blackburn for 8M.

Van Der Vaart is being heavily linked with Real Madrid.

Reminds me of a giggs type player but can use his right foot , can play on right and left .

If he got beefed up a little could be as good as ronaldo.

Its simple logic 20 mil for ok english lad who is 28 or 20 mil for spanish class player who is 5 years younger.

Get a grip man, "could be as good as Ronaldo" what are you basing that on?

well not sure if he could be as good as ronaldo - cant really say that

Silva, Arshavin, Van der Vaart - I'd take any of them.

Silva is far from Luis Garcia mk2, IMO - he's far better in possession, he has much better balance and control on the ball.

Arshavin would fit in on the left or right in a 4-3-2-1, or as a second striker (his best position) in the same formation or a 4-4-2.

Van der Vaart would fit in on the left in any formation, and can also play in the middle.

Silva is a bit brainless for me. Bags of skill, but not that clever.

He looks to me to be a neat enough player, but too small to flourish in the premiership. To be his size and influence games on a regular basis in England, you've got to be an absolutely fantastic footballer. Just about the only one I can think of who managed it was Gianfranco Zola, who was indeed a wonderful player. I think if we sign Silva, he'll spend plenty of time sitting on his erse out by the wing somewhere, shaking his head at the referee and wondering why it isn't a foul.

Agree, as for Zola yes he was short but he always had a decent build, Silva looks the same height as Garcia but is much thiner, he looks about 6 stone. Its no great shock he hasnt really been linked with the prem.

Well, he seems fair strong on the ball to me, and looks a fantastic footballer.

Didn't see ronaldo dominate in euros did you silva did he could be as good easy if he gets with good manager and beefs up a little.

Love also as ronaldo is top scorer in english prem he all of sudden best player in world its laughtable more so the mugs that believe it.

He gets most of his goals vrs the bottom 10 in league.

the one thing about silva which is impressive is his ability to hold onto the ball and strength on the ball despite his size

He is a fantastic football player and he will become one of the best football players on earth under a right coach.

I think there is not a football player in EPL who Silva can not dribble and yes, unfortunately, he would spend a lot of time on the floor and that is a power reason for not seeing him playinf around. I hope I am wrong.
