Silva is unreal. Love watching him play because he plays the same way nearly every game.

Interesting thread, on form it's Silva (I believe he's just a bit better than Nasri and Modric overall as well) but with the departure of Cesc it's sort of wide open. Gerrard and Lampard are definitely not in the conversation anymore, Scholes retired... it'd be interesting to see who fans think are the top 5 midfielders (AM/CM/DM-ish) in the league.

Nasri? he is not even close to modric or silva.
nasri had his first ever good season in england last year and even then he went downwards towards the 2nd half of the season

Top 5?
Silva
Nasri
Modric
Essien
VDV
The lack of Chelsea, United, Arsenal top class midfielders Is certainly interesting.

My point was that Silva and Muamba cant be compared as midfielders, we know Silva is the better player.
There you go, that wasn't so hard you tit

Oh my god you're actually pushing it
Silva has more ability and overall better attributes to Muamba and De jong as a player and as a frickin midfielder. However there's also the case of who's more effective in their team and who you'd want in your team, again you'll find it's Silva all day every fucking day.
Would you like to pretend to be clever again or is that it?

Comparing midfielders, you have to take into account their jobs for the team, could Silva do what De Jong does no, could De Jong do what Silva does? No. Therefore as midfielders (which you said) they are not comparable. As players (you never said) people would take Silva over de Jong.

I love Essien as much as the next guy but his form has been poor over the past years (mainly due to injury) I might go with de Jon in his place.

Who is more effective for City? Silva or De Jong
Who would you want in your team? Silva or De Jong
Who has better all round footballing ability? Silva or De Jong
Answer those questions, I fucking dare you

Only one of those questions are relevant to an actual midfielder, and thats the first one. The other two come down to actual players, it has nothing to do with the fact they are midfielders.

As for Silva being the best, I'm going to need more than one good season before I call him that.
