Another one who's best days are behind him imho.

He was only on about when Gaurdiola gets here.I used to work for a company making pressure gauges and it was frustrating when people spelt it as GUAGE.
Please can you change your heading to GUARD.

ha ha Missed that. Just goes to show, we read what we want to.
Maybe we should abolish spelling and rite evrything foneticly.
You support a football club that didn't win a single thing in a generation, 35 long years, and you've got a man there called Yaya Toure who scored 2 Wembley goals, one being against Utd and one the winner in an FA Cup final, to fire us to that first trophy in a generation.
That same player, during a tense game that was goalless, scored an absolute beauty from outside the box, with 20 mins left in the second to last game of a league winning season, before adding to it with just minutes left, to send us on our way to win our first league title for 44 years.
That same player then got an assist for the opening goal in a game that won us our first league title in 44 years.
That same player then scored what's probably the best strike at New Wembley since it's opening to equal the game, before we went on to win our first league cup since 1976.
He did that last one in a season where he pretty much spear headed our 2nd league winning campaign in 46 years by scoring over 20 goals from a deep central midfield position, in what's probably the greatest display of central midfield play in a season, in Premier League history...
... And you think his legacy is tarnished because his legs have now gone this past year?
That and you singling Zaba out, oh deary me. Wtf have some of our fans become.

It's always sad to see players leave - even ones that didn't work out (as I always want players to have enjoyed their time at City, and naively, I like the idea of them falling in love with the club).
These last few years have been some of the most memorable ever, and certainly the most successful. It's hard not to have an attachment to many of the players during this era.
Some 'incidents' have taken the shine of some players - Tevez and Yaya for instance, but it should never be forgotten that both players came to us at a time when were really were nothing more than 'a project'. They were handsomely paid for it, but still, they came, and they delivered.
Everything changes in the end, and we're going to have to say goodbye to them all in the end.
If we can bring in far more players of the calibre, personality and commitment of Vinnie, Zab, Bellamy, Sergio, Joe, Barry and others, then we'll not go far wrong.
And even if we can also replicate the likes of Tevez, Yaya, Dzeko, Nasri, De Jong et al, we'll do very well indeed.

I've always believed it's impossible to replace Yaya after what he has contributed during his time at the club and this season has proved we need one almighty player to do that.
Don't want to say goodbye just yet, he may still have something special for us before the season ends.

Haven't we all ? At least Pep will bring a new squad of 22 with him, won't he ?So we aren't winning every week, so you've lost all support for the players.
Is that what you're saying. Because that's how it reads to me.
