It was weird actually barely kicked a ball after leaving us. Olympiacos after City and think he may have gone on holiday to China for a few months.Mind has gone blank, where did he go after leaving us?
I wonder why?It was weird actually barely kicked a ball after leaving us. Olympiacos after City and think he may have gone on holiday to China for a few months.
He has done a bit of coaching since was with Spurs for a short period. Does not seem to last anywhere.
Peak David was better. PeriodPeak YaYa was the tempo maker when our midfield was YaYa,David and Gareth.
i’m going to disagree with that tbh. there are lots and lots of players in football history like silva and most would say xavi/iniesta/fabregas of his own contemporaries are just as good.Peak David was better. Period
Not read the thread through, dont care what folk think,there should be a yaya statue,in City's greatest 11 he would be my captain. For me our best ever player ....apart from ....!Brilliant player, **** of a man. Massive shame
He unjustifiably called Pep a racist, he can get to fuck for that accusation as far as I'm concerned.Not read the thread through, dont care what folk think,there should be a yaya statue,in City's greatest 11 he would be my captain. For me our best ever player ....apart from ....!

Have a look at the great man's career.It was weird actually barely kicked a ball after leaving us. Olympiacos after City and think he may have gone on holiday to China for a few months.

Agree with most of your post,but I'd take a look at Vierra again. For me he has to be in any top premier League team.i’m going to disagree with that tbh. there are lots and lots of players in football history like silva and most would say xavi/iniesta/fabregas of his own contemporaries are just as good.
But Yaya - there is no other player imo in world history where you have a man his size with that level of skill and vision. He has every physical attribute except stamina perhaps and has the skill of a small man. His passing was also brilliant along with outrageous power and shot making genius.
If we’re picking a midfield 3 all time premier league i’m having Yaya in the middle with De Bruyne and Silva either side and honestly blue glasses aside i don't put anyone else in there ahead of any of them.
People go on about Keane and Vieira but Yaya would physically boss both easily and he has miles more skill and goal threat. Gerrard and Kante are perhaps the only other players you could make the argument but like for like Gerrard is closest to De bruyne and he just doesnt have the football IQ Kev does. Kante possibly instead of Silva if you want more defenders in there. But Yaya stays. he just everything. D
Didnt he play up front a few games with Balotelli one winter when Aguero was quell surprise injured
Agree but I would put Gareth Barry in random with both as well.Agree with most of your post,but I'd take a look at Vierra again. For me he has to be in any top premier League team.
Also u mentioned Yaya playing up front ....well he definitely played centre back for us( got sent off iirc ) and for Barcelona ,in a champions league final v utd marking wayne Rooney out the game.
Not something David Silva could ever do...
Yayas career dwarfs many players,in so many ways, Silva was utterly brilliant at his game,no doubt about it,but Yaya was a all round player,could put his foot thru the ball when shooting either foot,or could just delicately place a 25 yard shot in the top corner of the net in a blink of an eye.play a 70 yard pass to a team mates feet,could run at speed down the left wing (westham away ) through the middle of the park ( villa at home ) or down the right wing ..( Sunderland away )
Nobody could stop him......
People forget,just how great Yaya Toure was....in tandem with Silva,they broke so many opposing centre midfields to bits. Privileged to have watched that tbh.
Agreed mate.Agree but I would put Gareth Barry in random with both as well.
Perfect foil for David and YaYa.
Love Gaz Baz, was excellent for us, feels like he's a little forgotten by fans, both City and neutrals. Had a check and the man is still actively playing at 44!Agree but I would put Gareth Barry in random with both as well.
Perfect foil for David and YaYa.
Oh dear mate. He isn’t fit to clean David’s boots.i’m going to disagree with that tbh. there are lots and lots of players in football history like silva and most would say xavi/iniesta/fabregas of his own contemporaries are just as good.

Not in the big momentsPeak David was better. Period
i am definitely not going to agree with you. very different players but one of them won player of the season.Oh dear mate. He isn’t fit to clean David’s boots.
