i think if it had not been for his injuries he would have been no1.
dont forget evras first matches for us he looked crap , also there are not many defenders out there who dont make the occasional **** up

huh ??? how mamy times have you seen someone dribbled passed evra ? he's a cnostant treath and provides great low crosses

I am not one of the camp that calls for the head of Silvestre and would hate to see him leave.

He may have occasional lapses like Rio used to have but after all the pluses and minuses, still a highly capable backup as left back or as a central defender. I rate him much tougher, quicker, more steady and reads the game much better than JOS for sure in the defensive department.

If he is happy to stay to fight for his place, please let him be.

Id be sad to see him leave. Great pro and over 360 games for United,
which is amazing. can play Cb or Lb and would provide great cover.
I saw him in a few reserve games and a pl game or 2 and to be fair
he seemed quite fresh and sharp. After a summer of training and preparing
he will be exactly what United need for next season, a willing, versatile,
capable and dependable player. I hope he stays but wouldnt blame him
or be too surprised if he left. Good luck to him either way. Great servant.

this isn't good news at all, it means more money to be spent in an area which we could really do without. nothing wron with mikael thik we should reject it and keep him for cover and as for that comment about wes in the opening response :| thats ridiculous obviously havent seen much of wes this season have you crooney, it's a awful shout to be fair wes is miles more consistant that silvestre but can be ueful if evra is not availible

No he only had the 1 or 2 apps, so no Prem medal for him.

believe me i have..he's had a good season but not great as many of you suggest.... don't make me start numbering mistakes he's made in the last season and a half, coz i remembered it to back up my replies for some of you who think he's been "great"...btw - just standing at the rb spot doesn't mean that you've done great... as for CB - give me Silvestre over Brown anyday..the guy can actually run...
oh and wes is miles more consistant ??? by which standard - name me mistakes silvestre's made and i'll find you a dozen more from brown...
i don't want to be harsh but to say something like that you must have a really good argument to back it up...miles more consistant ... - that sounds like vidic . not like wes...

[Natalie]

dont want him to leave
good cover for evra

[Drew9]

silvestre hasn't made any mistakes cos he hasn't played lol, us true supporters get just a little bit annoyed when people that dont go and watch the lads live often, just follow us when we're lifting titles or what ever dont slate a local lad like brown it un-fair and anyone will tell you (anyone whos been to old trafford this season) that wes has been a rock, he must of been to still be keeping gary neville out of the side still and garys been fit for over 2 months now, so crooney as far as im aware i do have a 'really good arguement' and all true united fans will agree with me

I don't understand where the creator of this thread is coming from. Doesn't he understand that you cannot have two world class players for every position, you need back up players. Silvestre is a very strong left back who provides excellent cover for Evra. If we sell Silvestre and then Evra gets injured, who plays at left back. Would you rather have a centre back Oshea playing at left back or Silvestre a natural left back. We need to keep Silvestre, contrary to what many people have said in this thread he is actually a very good player.
