David Silva Agrees To Man City Deal

This morning I woke up to the not so good news as a Manchester United fan when i read the headlines regarding David Silva, a player i've been waiting to see in a United kit for a long time.

Nevertheless, the 24-year old Spanish International has agreed terms with Roberto Mancini's team, and although linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, he chose to go to the Eastlands.

Silva will complete his medical and formerly sign on the dotted line once he completes his duties for the Spanish team at the World Cup. Spain beat Portugal last night in the Round of Sixteen clash in Cape Town and now will face Paraguay in the Quarter Finals.

Silva has enjoyed a good spell at Valencia and has made a name for himself both domestically and on the European circuit.

Mancini expressed his joy by saying:

"I think that David Silva is one of the best midfielders in Europe, and I hope he will be a very important player for Manchester City.

"I am so pleased he is coming to us, I think he can make a big, big impact for Manchester City.

"In signing David, we are showing the world that we are bringing the best players here and that we hope to compete to win the Premier League.

Silva also made a statement in the City's Website:

"The time is right for me to seek a new challenge, and I am thrilled about playing in England with Manchester City."

"I believe the Premier League is one of the best competitions in the world and I want to bring success to City and win trophies for them.

He continued by saying:

"There has been a lot of speculation about me in the British and Spanish media, and I need to fully concentrate on playing for Spain in the World Cup.

"That is why my advisors have been dealing with City for me so that I can have my attentions only on South Africa and playing well for my national team."

 

This signing sends a clear message to other top European and English clubs that City have a clear intention to bring the best and compete at the top level.

Mancini and his men will look to challenge once again for a top four finish when the season starts in a couple weeks time.
