Silva vs Sneijder

Discuss

Silva but this isn't fair sneijder barely has any games played this season

Who would you take in your team?

silva.

Lol. Silva over Sneijder? What a joke. This forum has truly gone to shits. Silva has been exposed in the Cl ffs. There's a reason no big team wanted silva. Sneijder was instrumental to inters treble and hillands WC run. Silva has been instrumental in man city run in the prem...that's it. In la liga he was never this good because there want as much space to exploit behind the CMs. Sneijder is a better player, has accomplished more and is a better big game player, and a better passer. I love the epl but this forum is to EPL centric ffs.

No big teams wanted Silva? not true, as Mou chose a very specific type of player in Di Maria, and Barca was busy doing their thing, they did not needed silva at the time.

Exactly, no one really wanted him, he even said madrid did not make a lot of effort that they inquired, the dude has done nothing in his career to be considered on equal footing ffs. When he is the fulcrum of successful team, come get me, till then he's as ovverated as the rest of the jokers in the epl.

Madrid was about to sign him, it came down to the manager picking a different type of player.

I dont think that episode diminishes his quality. And as for him not being as good in La liga, well, he is clearly growing now, entering his prime, so it's only normal. In two years i expect benzema and Higuain to be different kind of monsters as well for example.

But fair enough argument, i respect that.

I don't know. Sneijder really needs to get the hell out of Inter unless they start playing decent football.

Silva eats Sneijder on his current form, but damn Sneijder is some classy player.

He needs to come to Arsenal

if we base it on last year sneijder. This year idk for all I know sneijder could be terrible I haven't seen enough of him yet to say.

Silva hands down

On form silva, but overall I think Sneijder reached levels that silva hasnt touched yet

no big team wanted silva? lol..barcelona wanted him back in the summer of 2008 and real madrid did bid twice in may and juni 2010. he could go to one of these two spanish giants, but he didn't because of his undying love for valencia. that's why he moved abroad and signed for city.

i will not deny that sneijder's 2009/10 season was nothing less than sensational, probobly the best player of the world that season. but except for that tripple season winning, which other season has sneijder out-performed silva? either you are giving not credit enough for his concistent performance since 2005, silva has been the playmaker for valencia since 2006/07 and was one of the best players of the spanish team that won the euro's back in 2008 or you're just hating the fact that he is the best and most important player in the team that looks like's manchester united biggest threat to their crown.

sneijder is world class. but there is one big difference between him and silva. sneijder needs a good playing team around him to performance at his highest level while silva, just like xavi and that's the reason why me and more and more people are considering this little fella to be the next big thing, can actually make players and a team play better because of his control of the pace in a game. sneijder is the playmaker who is more direct, shoots and scores more but no player (except xavi) can't dictate the pace of the game better then silva and for that reason get the best out of his teammates. sneijder is defintely one of the better attacking midfielders in the european fields at the moment, but silva's football brain and vision is out of this world.

silva the type of player who can take a game by the scruff of the neck. He’s the playmaker, always involved in goal opportunities and consistently making key passes to put his teammates in great positions. silva is the most dominant midfielder i've seen since stefan effenberg and xavi hernandez. i’m sure to meet some resistance, but with the form (against villarreal he not played his best game, but still the things mainly where going through him) and potential he is showing right now i place him as the second best midfielder after xavi.

david silva >>>>>> wesley sneijder

Silva did not go to one of the Spanish Giants because they never commit to sign him. Trust me when they do, there is no stopping them, and if you do not pick Real, you will pick Barca. That is simply the way it works.

silva has been the playmaker for valencia since 2006/07

What was the achievement in being Valencia's playmaker? If so, then Sneijder was the playmaker of a much bigger side in Real, and he actually won trophies with them.

and was one of the best players of the spanish team that won the euro's back in 2008

Sneijder was the best player during the world cup hands down. The best player in Europe that season as well. Being one of the best players of Spain compared to that is a meager achievement if you ask me.

or you're just hating the fact that he is the best and most important player in the team that looks like's manchester united biggest threat to their crown.

This is not an argument.

How is Silva making established WC CF Tevez any better? how is he making an established big league performer Aguero better? An established germany player of the year Dzeko better? Toure? De Jong? Are you honestly arguing that Silva made those guys better? City is a conglomerate of star players coming together. Being an advanced tempo setter is a trait, not an accomplishment.

The same can not be said about Sneijder who turned an underwhelming Inter side into the best in the world. Bar Eto'o, the likes of Milito, Pandev, Motta and which ever else attacking players they had, were nothing compared to the Players City is boasting.

I also think you are understating Sneijder tempo stating abilities greatly, even if he is a more direct. And then again, here we are served another bullshit about how tempo setting midfielders are better than the rest, it's not true! It's all about the style of the team you are playing for, and you may say that you "prefer" the kind of player Silva is, but it shouldnt stretch to "Silva is a better player", it's a bit ridiculous.

And who is calling Silva the next big thing?

Utd wanted Silva pretty badly after Euro 08

While Silva definitely hasn't touched the levels Sneijder has , calling him an unproven joker like Jibers has is ridiculous.

They are very different players tho , even though they play the same positions. As to who I would rather have on my team , it would probably depend on who are the other people I had on my Team

I am a Sneijder fanboy though , so I do favor him generally.

A really Interesting thread would be Sneijder vs Fabregas and Silva vs OZil.
