can’t believe i’m reading comments suggesting silva had a poor euro 2008. Was i watching the same tournament as you guys!?”? He was absolutley quality, ran the show for spain in my opinion, also able to play either wing, isn’t as lightweight as he looks and has plenty of skills.
Please Rafa stop wasting time with barry and put the money towards silva, would be an absolute snip at £16m

I also agree with Ticky and Dom. Silva was very poor in Euro finals, no end product, lost posession often, is too small and is similar to Garcia without the speculator goals. Catches the eve every now and again, but a 90 minute PL game, I think he would be missing often. Think PL will be too much for him. Joaquín for me is a far better bet and he alos scores, and is far cheaper. Yossi has the Silvia role and is also better. We need wingers who will deliver at least 10 PL goals per year. Cannot have another Pennant.

As for strikes, think we are going for the wrong Spurs striker but United are in pole position. If Davaid Villa becomes available at a value for money price, would prefer him and Joaquín. We canot afford both Keane and Silvia, if we also get Barry.

As for the full backs, everyone assume they are better then what we had. I await judgement and worry about freebies that cannot get in their national teams.

I do agree though that Barry and Keane would add PL experience and should settle in quickly, so they are low risk, all be it expensive and for same money I feel we could get better quality even if there is additional settling in time.

For those wondering if Silva will fit in the Premiership, from what I have seen he will absolutely. I watched the Copa Del Rey final earlier this year and he was the star of the show. He made all the goals bar Morientes’ header. He was such a threat that Getafe tried to kick him off the park, literally. He just bounced back up and ran rings round them. Forget Riera – Silva operates at a completely different level and is just what we need. Fantastic!!

I agree with Ticky. Silva is not the type of player we need. We might aswell buy Garcia back then. I like Rafas thoughts this summer buying well known PL-perfomers like Barry and Keane and think this would do the trick, although Bentley would be a great addition as well.

I think silva is a very good player but he is not a goal scorerwhich is a problem. as long as torres is fit it won’t be bad but once he’s injured Ican’t see others chiping in goal, we certainly don’t have striker.and silva plays well only if he gets space and don’t have a very deadly pace, premiership is very tight and full of physical games so , as much as I would like to see him play in LFC I doubt he will be as effective.I think joaquin is much better option and bear in mind thet he won’t be as costy.
