Just to spark a bit of discussion, who here has Silva in their best Premier League team of all time?

He's definitely in mine.

{Ed001's Note - defo in mine, he would be my first pick. The rest would be picked around him.}

Yep in mine too, he's special. City will miss him.

Sad to see Baines retire yesterday seemed like a very good professional and all round nice guy. It’s just a shame the rest of the Everton side retired back in February and didn’t inform anyone.

Likewise.
To watch him in the flesh was even better, he had so much time on the ball.
Absolutely class.

2 top quality players for there respective clubs, Silva is one of the greatest players to ever grace the premier league and Baines is one of Everton's greatest ever left backs.
I wish them both well in whatever they do next.

{Ed025's Note - i think your spot on KK..

Silva was a magician, a truly marvelous player who made football look supremely easy on the eye. Bravo, Signor!

{Ed025's Note - yeah great player RM..

Ed001 - I would love to hear what your all time premier league team would be. Some serious players we’ve seen over the years!

{Ed001's Note - I really have no idea what it would be as I struggle to distinguish between Premier League and Football League. I dislike this tendency for the media to act like football only began then and find it difficult to remember which players were prior and which after. So it would end up having to be a team from the last few years simply so I could be sure they played in the Prem! I started thinking about it and honestly can't remember whether Bergkamp was Prem or before etc. I think I am just too old now to remember clearly. The only one other than Silva I could be sure of is Xabi Alonso. Oh actually, come to think of it, N'Golo Kante as well. That would be the perfect midfield trio!}

Baines was good but not a patch on Ray Wilson, who was considered a world class player in his time.

27 Jul 2020 13:28:43
I'm still upset we didn't sign silva when Rafa wanted him.

27 Jul 2020 14:03:18
That would’ve been one hell of a midfield! Thanks Ed.
