This morning we asked our fans on Twitter what they thought about our very own Merlin, David Silva.

“I think David Silva is magic because...

...he can do things with a ball that even David Copperfield couldn’t do” - @mattingham87

...he makes you scratch your head and think “How did he do that?” - @John_Marsland

...he wears a magic hat, and when he saw Eastlands he said ‘I’ll have a bit of that’”- @rm23286

...his skill and vision can’t be explained by science or modern language” - @GarethVoke

...he’s full of tricks and it seems he creates optical illusions on the pitch... Amazing!” - @mankmanuk

...when he has the ball nothing is impossible” - @SheilaNT

...he plays in a difficult position and somehow makes football look too easy” - @d_jc89

...he’s like a human version of Speedy Gonzales” - @JoeSchoey

...he just seems to “wingardium leviosa” the ball to where ever he wants it” - @01cravend

...even though he’s insanely creative and talented, he’s also completely humble, selfless and kind” - @Carlota_Villa
