Valencia left winger and Spanish international David Silva (22) will not play for Barcelona as of next season, like had been strongly rumoured over the last months (read more here).
Valencia has officially announced a deal on a contract renewal yesterday. The duration of Silva's contract hasn't been changed (2013) but it is believed that the player will receive an important pay rise.
pep's opinion:
i don't really consider this a big loss, certainly not if it was planned to play him as a left wing attacker. in my opinion silva is more a versatile midfielder, he doesn't have the explosivity and the scoring ability to really make the difference as left forward in our 4-3-3 system. he would probably be better suited to pick up a role in our midfield, but we don't need any more players there.
let's see if they trust henry/hleb/iniesta (pedro/jeffren) for that spot or still try to get a player for whom this position is more natural. i think it's a necessity to bring in someone who really can keep the pitch wide on that side. if you have messi cutting in from the right and you have someone doing the same from the left, you're making it too easy for well organized teams. in the champions league games against manchester united last season the main problem was that, with messi and iniesta on the wings, everything went through the middle which made it very easy to defend. with alves we now have someone who can come over messi at the right, abidal cannot bring that on the other side, so a good left winger would be very welcome although they are extremely hard to find and even more so when the guy should also be able to score 10-15 (league) goals a year.
