Should Toure get a farewell ceremony?

He deserves some kind of send off. Quite simply a fantastic player for us and a catalyst for all the recent success we have had.
 
Yes, a fantastic player at his peak between 2010/11 and 2013/14 but has been declining ever since. But without Yaya we wouldn't have won half the trophies during that period.

A legend who deserves a proper send off when he leaves this club.
 
Great player certainly and one of the 'core players' who established us 'post-take-over' as a trophy winning outfit. Some of his antics have certainly 'divided opinion', shall we say... I'm a bit weary of massive send-offs, celebrations tbh. Yaya has been very well paid to do what he was signed up to do. Other players have done the same without the questionable antics, Zeb being a case to point. In fact, of all the great players we have signed over the past 10-years there's really only Yaya who has brought disrepute to the club - nobody has ever heard anything negative about Silva, Kun or Kompany to name just 3; they turn up, turn it on and go back to their familys. Statues... stands named after..? Guard of honour even..? Nah, not for me. Cheers Yaya, you have our love and respect for some wonderful memories, you were an outstanding player on your day. Good luck and don't be a stranger!
 
He should get a true legends send off, with all the ribbons and hoo-haa!

Line up everyone who is anyone, for a full on tunnel of love,
All the trophies we’ve won with him lined up,
Huge banners all around the ground,
Not forgetting the 10 tiered cake,
And Mad Mario can do the Fireworks!

Would we have won the League x2 , the FA Cup and League Cup x2 without him ?

We’re not doing too shabbily in the league without him this season and I’m pretty sure Chelsea won the league last season without him and Leicester did the year before. So in answer quite possibly yes, we may have even won more without him, we’ll never know.

In a word No.
Agent and cake gate.

And? You saying we should usher him out of the back door in disgrace or something?

Both Yaya and especially Seluk have disrespected the club and that cannot be forgotten, but on the Pitch, Yaya has been so important to winning trophies.

If blues don't want to applaud Yaya when he leaves, that is up to them. I and thousands of others will be there to give the big man a rousing send off.
 
Yaya can leave without any complaints from me. I've seen his disinterested attitude in games the past 2 years, he's been well paid but not a city legend.

To say he's had more shite seasons than good is just nonsense. His biggest critic could maybe argue he's had more good seasons than fantastic seasons, but to claim someone who has contributed so much has had loads of shite seasons is just......well, shite.

Unplayable at his best. A " freak " in the best sense of the term.
Has scored many big ,big goals. I for one feel very disappointed about cake gate. However beyond that city should and will I am sure both public ally and privately acknowledge his contribution to our history.
As far as a previous poster saying wish he was gone this window why. We have a lot of young players in squad his contribution around the training ground and around meal tables etc is probably huge and positive. We don't see everything. He still has a part to play till June . End of....

If we'd had Pep Guardiola yes.

Mancini & Pellegrini, no.

I tend to agree but only because Mancini and Pellegrini weren’t brave enough to drop Yaya even when he wasn’t putting the effort in, nothing to do with Yaya himself. Ps... It wasn’t just Yaya who downed tools, so I’m not just blaming him alone, there should have been a few kicked out.

You only have to look at the Arsenal players reaction to Sánchez leaving yesterday, sometimes you need to get rid of the so called best players if they are asking to leave to bring the squad unity back together.
 
Personally I wouldn’t give him the Zabba style send off but then again Lampard got something so I’m guessing he will get a send off. We’ve had the best out of him and simply unplayable in his prime, big game player, big game winner and one the team used to turn too to win a game with something out of nothing

That's funny the one person running the show for Arsenal yesterday is asking to leave...

Mesut Ozil if you didn't knows...
Hope we get him on a free next season must be something in him telling Sane his bezzy mate to come here:-)

Edited for this
Think it might have some legs what I suggested;-)

Mind the gap lol

You clearly missed the word “sometimes” in my post but then again seeing your comments earlier in this thread we understand your rather confused, selective tendencies and your creative imagination.

But either way, in my eyes it looked a very good team performance by Arsenal. The boggle eyed fuck had a cracking game but so did everyone else.
 
Jeez some blues are precious. Why can't we credit him for what he's done on the field and give him the send off he deserves because he's been a great player for our club?
