This is... different.

David Silva must've upset some sculptors in his time because someone in Spain has gotten their own back. The Man City midfielder's home town of Arguineguín honoured their international superstar - well, they tried to anyway - by erecting a statue of him for all to see. They've not made too good of an effort of it, to be honest. If we're being really kind. Not only does it not look like David Silva, but they've seemingly aged him a few decades and portray him struggling to stand upright in a tough attempt to move forward. It might actually be worse than the Cristiano Ronaldo statue unveiled in December. Maybe. https://twitter.com/FootballCliches/status/582945282939310080
