How much do we owe to Yaya?

[Looby_Blue]

Needs a statue of his own. Dragged us into winning stuff while Purple nose was in charge over the road. Some fans are fickle.

Yep! And some footballers are cunts.

True but without Paul Dickov there’s no Yaya and no last night.
Oh and that banner might still be up.

No Kevin Horlock, no Paul Dickov

Throw him a birthday cake, then forget about him. A good football player, but has a bad mindset. He's not that different much from Cancelo.

On the day we win triple with Pep and you throw in Yaya here? That guy accused Pep of racism and all of the nonsense that unsettle the team. And I agree with Pep, no matter how good your talent is, having a bad attitude and unsettling the team just make the team as a whole team get worse, he deserved to get booted.

Not much different from Cancelo? Fucking hell, he might have had a dodgy agent but as a player he was from a different universe to Cancelo

There’s fickle then there’s City fans on this thread not appreciating the greatness that was Yaya on his day on a foodball pitch. The man was a colossus and anyone disputing this may as well follow a different sport…

Amazing player with a twat for an agent

Unusually, seems to have become a hate figure for some on here, a status usually reserved for the right-backs!

You are right about him being a colossus and as a footballer I would have him in my team any day but (and it’s a big but), as someone else says on this forum, his agent was a complete twat who Yaya allowed to lead him by the nose with respect to criticising Pep and the club. If not for that he would certainly have been nailed on for a statue.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

For a year or two he was the best midfielder on the planet.

Appreciate people have a beef with off-the-field stuff, but peak Yaya was one of the greatest in this club’s history.

Semi-final vs United,
Final vs Stoke,
Newcastle away,
Villa home,
Crystal Palace away,
Final vs Sunderland.

I'd argue that he was individually the most influential player we have EVER had.

Absolute legend of a player.
