Should Toure get a farewell ceremony?

Definitely, in fact the club have already built a life-like statue of him and placed it in the centre of the pitch.

Yes. Yaya's the king of Wembley. His performances there have been better than any other City player.

In the Semi Final against United, the trophy-winning goal against Stoke when we tore down the banner, when he scored arguably the greatest ever goal at the new Wembley against Sunderland, his penalty in the shootout win against Liverpool. Even last season at 33/34, he was the best player on the pitch in the Semi-Final in one of his best ever City performances for me.

He's also had some absolute shockers at City, but for his ability to turn it on in the trophy winning matches, he deserves a farewell ceremony for that alone.

You just made me watch that Sunderland game again. Forgot it was 3-1 and Navas got one. Some goal that from Yaya. And Nasri tbf.
 
Even though some of you fuckers on here dont like it Yaya is a legend and should be remembered as so, some of his goals have been just as important as that Sergio goal.
 
There are few who deserve it. Zab was one, Silva would be another. Aguero, certainly, AND Yaya! I breathed a lot more easily when I saw Yaya on the team sheet. The memory of the goal against MANUre in the Semi (he raced over to the very corner I was at and I have the most wonderful photo of a heap of players on top of him) is worth it on its own!

I don't know how many goals have been scored at the new Wembley but I think the RagDipperArseHaringeyMeedya have Yaya's goal down as the 237th best!
 
An absolute monster in his prime and a legend for this club who always seemed to pop up with a goal when needed.
 
Yaya deserves a big send off. Toure has been the driving force behind most of our recent trophies.

Yaya’s agent was put back in his box ages ago

The fact he was ever allowed out of his box and was subsequently backed by Yaya himself is partially why this thread is so divisive and why so many people dislike/hate him.
 
Yes Yaya deservers a huge goodbye party, because it was his goal in the FA Cup semi-finial against United, and followed that up with many more goals, that helped us to win many more trophies.

Fiat point mate but most Blues (including the vast majority of our Away following) get behind Yaya. His comeback game against Palace last season was a good example with Yaya responding to the crowd’s supoirt.

It’s easy to forget the 35 Years without a trophy with our successes over the last 6 or 7 Years. Yaya changed our footballing lives.
 
I would say yes, without Yaya we wouldn’t have won the Fa cup or the premier leagues, he was our most important player. Will never forget his 13/14 season, brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

All of that.
He was the one we needed and we got him. Most important signing since we were took over, by a distance too.

Oh don’t get me wrong I’ve been one of those fans dancing about like a bellend and chanting his name before his escalation in his attempts to force a move.

Yaya didn’t change our footballing lives, that’s a stupid thing to say, its disrespectful as fuck to the other important players like Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Dinho, Barry, De Jong, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko etc. who all contributed to that success. Like someone else posted earlier, there’s too much idolisation of individual players, sometimes I think more so than the club with the reactions on here.

I’d argue that as well.

At his best he made Kun Silva and Kompany at their best look like they were just some players playing a part in Yaya’s matches and every opposition player he bossed look like they were little kids.

I do not give a shit about anything else. He had average runs of games, poor games and diabolical games. He made a right tit of himself when he saw his arse with the club and again when he once turned down MOTM champagne because he was a devout Muslim/athlete and then got done for drink driving.

But he’s the most important player since Bell at this club and he had a stand named after him.

Silva is my favourite ever City player and I think current best and most important player at the club but Yaya is probably the most important big game player ever.
