David Silva has lost his hair this summer and he may have also lost his place as the best midfielder with the surname 'Silva' in the Premier League too. He looks set to only be in England two more years.
Pep Guardiola has gone about improving his side immeasurably this summer and spent a big chunk of money doing it. Specifically the former Barcelona manager has tried to improve the defence.
Twice the Citizens have broken the record fee for a defender by first signing Kyle Walker and then adding Benjamin Mendy. Goalkeeper Ederson's move from Benfica also broke a record.

But the forward line has also improved with City splashing the cash on the extremely impressive Bernardo Silva from Monaco. With David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane already in the side it's difficult to predict who will start game to game.
Guardiola has a task on his hands to keep everyone happy but already one of his attacking options is already eyeing up his departure. According to El Gol David Silva will leave the Etihad in the summer of 2019 to Las Palmas as long as they're still in La Liga.

The 31 year old's contract runs out in 2019 and the report from Spain reckons that he has a verbal agreement in place with Las Palmas, who finished 14th in their second season back in La Liga last term, that he'll join them that summer.
Last January the former Valencia midfielder, who is paying tribute to his footballing hero Stephen Ireland this season with his new shaved head, told reporters "If I go back to Spain, it will be to play for Las Palmas."

Silva has never played for Las Palmas but was born in Gran Canaria where the team play so a move there at the age of 33 would make a lot of sense should they still be in Spain's top league.
For now though Guardiola will have to work out how to fit all his players in to a formation that isn't 2-1-7.
