Yaya Toure signs one year extension.

[asahartford1]

Yaya is a legend and deserves another year even if he plays a handful of games, been our best player in some games this year, still can contribute to the team.

220 grand a week for 6 games. Do the math. As they say.

I am sure that wouldn't be the contract offer (if there even is one).

Could you see Seluk, Toure taking a massive wage cut. Really. ?

Watch the all action midfield in the Madrid Derby tonite. Will give you every reason why he will not be offered a new contract. Ridiculous to think he may.

I'll be looking forward to seeing this new Kroos using his devastating all action style, with strong tackling and great pace ;-) Unless he's still strolling around fairly slowly, not tackling much at all as usual. Excellent passer though, as is Yaya.

Then you would get your wish and he won't sign it. He's out of contract and will either accept our offer or not.

Then he won't stay,we will not be giving him a new massive contract,it's his choice

There are certain games where Yaya could prove useful next year, particularly against teams who park the bus. However, he can't be a mainstay in our midfield anymore as I still think there are times where he slows down our build up and makes it easier for the opposition sometimes. So squad player, yes. Big game starter, no.

The question is do we want to have a quality player who is very capable of changes the game on the bench?

Lots of blues saying we need quality in the squad depth,we can't replace everyone at the same time,if him and navas are willing to sit on the bench then it's a no brainer

Exactly.

Having a few of our current starters on the bench instead of our current bench players would certainly improve our options. The trick is making sure the players we buy for the first team are good enough to replace them.

SO you want a 35 and a 32 yr old sat on the bench. Mmm so much for youth progression.
