How good was Yaya?!

[comiskey33]

Have we had a more dominant midfielder since?

 

[SamTheGuru]

But what did he actually do for us

 

[69FACUPfinal]

No.

And he was absofeckinglutely the man.

I've missed him this last 8 years.

 

[comiskey33]

I love reminiscing after a load of pints!!

 

[chesterbells]

No.

And he was absofeckinglutely the man.

Spot on. Every word, well said.

Should have won POTY at least once, definitely for 2014. Colossus!

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Yaya was a beast!! unplayable when he wanted to be

 

[citymad]

Its a shame cake gate and his comments about Pep distorts some opinions of his time at City. There's no doubt he had a brilliant career with some fantastic moments reaching almost legendary status.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Huge.

2011 - won us the semi and the cup
2012 - helped win us the league with his performance and goals at Newcastle
2014 - Shoukd have been player of the season. Helped win the league and League cup.

Legend.

Have we had a more dominant midfielder since?

No, but nobody has.

Those goals v Newcastle! Was listening on the radio as we were travelling and at that point I was confident we’d win the league. Then the goal v Villa. Just Wow! One of the greatest goals I’ve seen scored by anyone. Watched it over and over since.

He was incredible and I hope one day we'll see him back for the statue he deserves.

I watched that Newcastle game at a pub local to me.

After Yayas first I saw a few old guys wipe a tear or two. They knew what it meant.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He was unbelivaboo.

 

[WestGorton]

The best.

 

[pride in battle]

G.O.A.T....

 

[chaddblue]

Utterly brilliant .. but a bit of a bellend

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

He was good!

No Kev, though.

 

[TinFoilHat]

He gave us the bollocks we needed to get where we are now.

The man literally dragged other players up by the scruff of their necks and got us out the shit a few times.

Sadly I don't think we'll ever see the likes again in that respect.

Man had extraordinary talent. His ball striking was exceptional. He could guide a ball with power and accuracy with seemingly little effort.

The Jonah Lomu of football. He had the delicacy of a brain surgeon, but a rampaging lunatic with a chainsaw, capable of pure destruction.

Wonderful footballer.
