"Silva cost 30 million, but he was small, slow and didn't know any English"

"Small, slow, only left-footed and he didn't know anything about his position. He seemed a nice person, but he didn't know any English," Joe Hart recalled between laughs, upon revealing the first impression he got of David Silva when he first met him.

A first impression of the Spanish midfielder, who, when he signed for City was only 24-years-old, which changed as he got to know him a lot better.

The former England and Manchester City goalkeeper, now a keeper at Burnley, admitted that he was disappointed with the Spanish midfielder after finding out that the club had paid 30 million euros for his signing.

A first impression that has changed a lot since then, because he now has no doubts about the "magician" qualities, who has been at the English club for a barbarious ten seasons, playing 405 official games and scoring 72 goals.

"He soon rose to the test, he adapted and showed his quality. He is crazy. He is a very complete player, whose only negative point is his height", Joe Hart mentioned, who took very little to surrender to the quality of a historic David Silva at Manchester City.
