Does Yaya still have a role?

Fernandinho believes Yaya's defensive work rate may explain why Pep left him out of the Champions League squad.
Fernandinho tells ESPN Brasil that everyone knows about Yaya's quality on the ball, but he lacks a little defensively.

In other words, i've been covering his lazy ass for nearly 2 seasons, now. ;-)

If any of our players have earned the right to come out with that statement it's Dinho, poor lad is going to be in a wheelchair at the age of 40 after carrying that fat fucker for 3 years.

The evil duo are putting a marker down on Yaya's present contract to set out the contractual parameters for any club (or owner) stupid enough to offer Yaya (and his comedy sidekick) a contract. Someone will be getting rinsed - just glad it won't be us.

A NEW deal? Utter bollox. Absolute max is seeing out this contract, and that is highly unlikely.

Having had no takers on his current inflated terms, their strategy is to bleed us for whatever they can. Dax, they may all be mercenaries to a greater or lesser degree but this pair of piss flaps elevate leeching to an art form.

Glad to hear he wants to fight for a place on the team sheet. He's lost a few pounds and looked more mobile again, up to Pep......if he's doing the training and sticking to plan he'll play. Wouldn't surprise me if he played the derby.

I'll be more than surprised, I hope he's nowhere near the starting line up.

Mancini: "We [Inter] had almost sealed Yaya's purchase a year ago, then he preferred not to betray Manchester City, where I took him."
Mancini: "Toure, like Ibra, is one of those players who can make the difference, who can change the outcome of a season by themselves."


As much as i love bobby he must be talking about the yaya he remembers and not like he is now

I agree that it's a shame but I think it's mostly because people are so easily offended.

Some people want to believe he's lazy and that he has his agent speak for him. I choose to believe that he's just slow because he's aging and he sees he accepts agent as he is (i.e. a great guy for getting him deals/wages but one who comes at the cost of talking shit and upsetting some fans). Who knows who's right...none of us are close enough to know.

At his best he was great and I hope that'll be what we remember as the years roll by.

Yes totally agree, I think back to how he used to dominate games and some of the goals he scored like the Newcastle away goal and that's hopefully how I'll remember him. I think pep / txiki have done a great job with the squad to put us in a position where we can move on with as little fuss as possible now.
