No. Yaya was fantastic for us, no questioning that. But he blotted his copybook with his (and his agent's) antics re cakegate. And then accusing Pep of racism. Great player? Yes, absolutely. Legend? Absolutely not.

He is a legend for what he’s done for this club, bit of a twat after he left but that doesn’t mean what he did on the pitch doesn’t count.No. Yaya was fantastic for us, no questioning that.

You could wipe 4/5 trophies away without that man.
Probably wipe away the same with no David Silva the man who made it all tick.He is a legend for what he’s done for this club, bit of a twat after he left but that doesn’t mean what he did on the pitch doesn’t count.

We’d have probably done the fa cup in 2011 without Silva but we wouldn’t have won anything else for a while without him either, correct.Probably wipe away the same with no David Silva the man who made it all tick.
Kompany, Yaya, Silva and Aguero are the original legends of our greatest era.
Yet only three of them have a statue, it is a shame but he brought it on himself at the end of the day.We’d have probably done the fa cup in 2011 without Silva but we wouldn’t have won anything else for a while without him either, correct.

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion. For me, a player can often be looked upon as a legend as muchfor what he did off the pitch as for what he did on it. Goater is looked upon by many City fans as a legend. Was he 10% of the player Yaya was? Of course not. Nowhere near. But he gave everything when he was on the pitch. Ditto Andy Morrison, Paul Dickov etc etc. Sterling won a bunch of trophies with us; will he be remembered as a legend? I'm not sure he will. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.He is a legend for what he’s done for this club, bit of a twat after he left but that doesn’t mean what he did on the pitch doesn’t count.

No argument about the statue not going up from me, he should have had one but played the race card for no reason and shot himself in the foot.Yet only three of them have a statue, it is a shame but he brought it on himself at the end of the day.
I still choose to look back fondly at what he did on the pitch and the memories he gave us.

My only closing point is Yaya personally dragged us to not only trophy wins, but our first trophy wins since the 1970s.
That would make him a legend for any club.

Cakegate ffs media shite and who gives a shit? Yaya is a leg end for me!No. Yaya was fantastic for us, no questioning that. But he blotted his copybook with his (and his agent's) antics re cakegate. And then accusing Pep of racism. Great player? Yes, absolutely. Legend? Absolutely not.
