John Stones would 'pay a lot of money' to watch David Silva | OneFootball

John Stones has revealed he would be willing to ‘pay a lot of money’ to watch David Silva for the ‘rest of his life’.

The mercurial Manchester City playmaker is considered one of the most skilful and intelligent players in the world and his club team-mate could watch him for hours.

As well as his football skills, Stones claims Silva is a great professional to boot and would happily part with cash to see the 32-year-old in action for the rest of his days.

Sitting down with Premier League Fanmail via the club’s official website, Stones was asked: “If you could pay to watch one of you City team mates for the rest of your life who would it be and why?”

With an immediate answer, the England defender replied: “David Silva. 100%. I’d pay a lot of money to watch him play for the rest of his life.

“Some of the stuff he does, how he moves with the ball and the appreciation when he takes its first touch, he’s just a silky player.

“If you could watch him in training as well and how he is and his whole demeaner, how he is as a person – it excels him and how much you like him.”

Silva’s skills and Stones’ solidity have helped City maintain top spot in the Premier League and they travel to West Ham on Saturday.
