he seems hurt lolYou rated him when your mob thought you had got him lol
Are stats everything? Drinkwater and Kante have less goals than Yaya combined.
Gundogan also plays much deeper than Yaya and doesn't take the penos.
Fool.
Hasn't yaya been playing as a DEFENSIVE midfielder?

Has gundogan scored 20 goals from midfield before?
Nope. As far as I know only fat Frank and Yaya have done it in a league season. Iniesta and Zidane have never managed it though and they're a league above both.
It might help if you think of Gundogan as the player we've been missing in midfield and Kev as a more direct replacement for Yaya, who regardless of position has never had a centre mids responsibilities.

Not since he left Barca really.

Imo I don't think he's what's been missing, it's just that yayas been played in the wrong position.

You've not been watching us properly then.
Let's not get bogged down with statistics. A certain pot bellied micky quinn started a season scoring 10 goals in 10 games or something like that.
Gundogan is quite clearly a very good player with good vision and is technically gifted.

I have. He's given far too much freedom to go forward and always has been at city to be called a defensive mid. Nobody's slating Yaya here, it's just that he's been best as a box to box, not as a deep playmaker. It's been partially obscured by us not having a deep lying playmaker bar Pizarro briefly but when you look at players like Ballack, Xavi, Modric, Xabi Alonso etc you realise the difference. Yaya's best work has never been deeper than the edge of the area bar the odd run.

You think he's a number 10? In that case he's an unnecessary luxury with Kev, we need a player to complement him, Sterling, Aguero, Dinho etc. Plus Yaya's getting worse by the season.
