well - it certainly ain't gonna be Torres !! Hi drogs - see you've chosen the dreaded poisoned chalice - a MOD indeed.
Actually Silva's assists have dried up too more recently. RVP actually has 7 assists to Silva's 12. In terms of goals and overall importance to the team, RVP is far far ahead of Silva. You did say before that RVP was not amongst the top 10 strikers though (cant remember whether you said in the world or in th PL?), so I am not surprised that you cant recognise just how far ahead of any other player in the PL he has been.
Are you mad? Silva played well for the dirst couple of months, dropped off considerably since then, and is now slowly returning to form. There is no way he should win it for 2 good months.
Without Silva, City wouldn't be top. He's been top class all season, not just two months. It's only since Toure went he's SLIGHTLY dropped in form but that's about it.
