I am actually very sad to see Yaya's City career end this way. I know his agent is a tool, and I know Yaya is responsible for his agent - and I've been royally pissed off with the pair of them many times.
But somewhere at the back of my head I still harboured hopes that, after he stayed, he might have a final swansong left in him. A positive note to leave on. One more rampaging run through the United defence or another 30 yard screamer to win a cup final.
But now it's almost impossible to see this ending in any other way than him shuffling out the side door while the new era begins.
