How lucky are we that we got him for his best days? Yaya used to frustrate me with his sluggishness and he wouldn't ever track back, never got off the floor when he went down and his attitude off the pitch was very questionable, but I'd take that tenfold for what he showed on the pitch when he turned it on. One of the most complete midfielders ever. better than Lampard and Gerrard. I'll always think of that run against Villa and his goal in the 2011 cup semi & final, but we've got so much out of him. his goal after his exile against Palace away, his freekick against Newcastle.. could go on!
Madness to think we signed him with the view of him being a deep/holding mid!
"oh Yaya Toure I think we should pay him some more!"
