Manchester City’s attack has been sensational this season. Bernardo Silva is very similar to David Silva. Iwouldn’t let David Silva go, I think he’s been tremendous.You don’t know if other clubs were ready to push the button and City thought ‘we have got to do it’. There are some players that come along and you have to do it there and then.Tottenham defender Danny Rose, speaking on BBC Radio 5 liveI played against him away this season and he’s the best opponent Ifaced. It’s a great addition and gives Pep Guardiola another attacking option.
