It was a transactional legacy.

Always felt to me like in his head he was doing us a favour by being at City and the minute we got to the level of a top table team and could then balk at his demands and drop him, he went full mard.

to be classed as a legend a lot also depends on what happens off the pitch. Tevez is another who I think, on his day, was probably as good as anyone we’ve ever had but nobody will really define him as a City legend because his off the field antics soured it.

Tevez a City legend? Maybe because we got him off the Rags, but apart from that he isn't even in the same ball park as Yaya.
 
Manchester City icon Yaya Toure has sensationally reopened his bitter feud with Pep Guardiola, labelling the legendary manager a 'snake'.

Toure and Guardiola have endured a frosty relationship ever since the former Barcelona boss ruthlessly sold the influential midfielder to City in 2010 after promoting Sergio Busquets from the B side.

Guardiola saw Busquets as a better fit in the holding midfield role in his fabled 4-3-3 system. Toure completed 90 minutes on just nine occasions in his final season at the Nou Camp, before enjoying a glittering eight-year spell at the Etihad.

The pair met again in 2016 when Guardiola was recruited by City's hierarchy and he once more relegated Toure to a bit-part role, leading to the player's agent, Dimitri Seluk, speaking out publicly against the coach.

Seluk later apologised for those comments, which did little to encourage Guardiola to give Toure a second chance, and he left the club in May 2018.

And Toure, 42, has seemingly not moved on from his feud with Guardiola.

Appearing on the ZACK YouTube channel, Toure described his former coach as a 'snake'.

'I don't see a man, I see a snake,' he said.



'The Barcelona coach calls me back then and says, "You have to come back, it's important." My wife says to me, "Are you going to listen to that nonsense? He treated you like dirt, and now he wants you to stay, and you're going to stay? Let's go to Manchester, my brother".

'The guy didn't play me all year, and at the end of the year, I shine at the World Cup (2010), and he brings me to Barcelona. My wife would tell me about him. "Sheytan, he's not a man, he's wicked." She sees him as a negative person.'

Despite his hostile relationship with Guardiola, Toure enjoyed a glittering career with Barcelona and Manchester City, winning three Premier Leagues, two LaLigas, a Champions League and five domestic cup trophies.

The midfielder was also named African Footballer of the Year for four successive seasons from 2011 to 2014, winning the Africa Cup on Nations in 2015.

Yes we do...have you never heard of KDB!!!.

Where do you stop? If KdB gets one, then Pep gets one and Rodri gets one......Foden obviously when he retires, then Haaland if he stays for a few more years. You won't be able to get into the ground soon.

Then the FOCs will want Trautmann and Bell - both more deserving than Silva.

IMHO he deserves one, he was the catalyst that made us great.

When we needed someone to step up, Yaya always stepped up

Should he have a statue?

He called Pep a racist then retracted it. Also mard arsed about his cake.

2nd only to KDB, he brought us some truly unprecedented territory as a City fan.

Still an legend
 
WOW!!!...denying KDB a statue...our greatest ever player in many people's eyes. It is difficult to get into the ground now, as you say, with the three statues blocking all access. What did John McEnroe say..."you cannot be serious" haha!!!.

I still think Mancini should have one, FA cup winner and a Title Winner as Manager. 100% put Manchester City back on the map and on the road to greatness
 
Legend?....more Bellend!

Seem to remember him spouting off to the press about City not letting him visit his dying brother (load of bollocks BTW). Only for him to fuck off to Saudi on some promotional work instead . (or something like that)
 
Can't give them out to everyone.

Sergio - highest ever goalscorer
Kompany - most decorated ever captain
Silva - best ever player

Pep will get one.

I wouldn't have given KDB one
