I still remember how he arrived, the man from Valencia who could cross, and I still remember when he was tearing the league apart. He was our first signing towards the right direction, at a time when the squad was at its most stagnant and lacklustre, he was the spark of light we so desperately needed. He was so important to us and so head and shoulders above the rest, that all of our attacks went through him. No matter what, Juan had to play, or we were not the same. I believe he was the first signing that kickstarted our new era and direction. Everybody, including the usual antagonists, was praising him. "Magician" was the word thrown around a lot. At that time we laughed when somebody claimed Silva to be better, but now things are the opposite even among our fans. Sad for the guy, and what a nice guy he was. A model personality. What went wrong? I don't think anything went wrong, football happened. But he deserves better and he's not going to get it at United.
