According to a report from the Daily Mail, Man City look set to commemorate club legend David Silva with a mosaic at the club’s training ground – but plenty of Sky Blues have insisted that he deserves much more.
Silva, since signing from Valencia back in 2010, has gone on to rack up 424 appearances for City in all competitions – scoring 74 goals and assisting a noteworthy 137 others during his time at the Etihad.
Earning the nickname ‘Merlin’, it’s no secret that the Spaniard is adored by City supporters everywhere, with his £24 million fee paid a decade ago looking like a bargain.
The 34-year-old confirmed at the start of the season that the 2019/2020 campaign would be his last at Eastlands, and now supporters are desperate for a statue to be erected in his honour.
Should a statue be built for David Silva?
Of course, deserves nothing less
No
Upon hearing the news that Silva would receive a mosaic, similar to Joe Hart and Yaya Toure, lots of our fans completely disagreed with the notion – going on to suggest that it’s ‘not good enough‘.

Anything less than a statue is disrespectful. Needs to be properly celebrated like the club legend he is! https://t.co/8S71julx7O
