How good was Yaya?!

[bluealf]

For me the mark of the man, absolute tool.

Well, yes, and now here is Kolo on the backroom team hugging him; it is certainly a weird thing to have said.

 

[Nickyweaver01]

Imo the best ever City player and the best midfielder in PL history.

 

[Mifred]

Well, he was no Angel

But a Delight to watch

 

[Blue and true]

Pretty fucking good.

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

Top class on the pitch. He was colossal. Absolute weapon off it

Kev. Had more to his game. But Yaya was immense

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

An excellent player - but consider Tevas too... and Nasri... and others.

Fuck all of them - they all placed reward for perceived performance so high that they all became non-team players.

The Ginger Prince
Merlin
Lampard

All put on the shirt and did a shift above and beyond and I would take any of them over the idiot.

Fuck Yaya. Lazy as fuck. If he had more drive he'd have been much better.

Yaya was out for personal wealth and fame - above all else - above team - above friendship - above our club - and he hired an agent excellent at advancing his ambitions - to the extent that this agent openly criticized out manager.

So.. for me... fuck Yaya.. fuck Nasri... fuck Tevez... they're all cut from the same selfish mould.

 

[Tevez City]

Match winner

Match winner

And the chant is spot on - pay me some more.

A greedy fuck, all about self, but hugely gifted - but lazy... mostly on defense (but when he set his mind to defend he was world class).

For me, if Yaya put 100% into his game, he'd have been among the top 3 in the world. But he never did this throughout a game.

Yaya was potentially the best footballer in the world, but he lacked the mental discipline (mostly) and drive to make this so.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

There are three footballers who, once they were included in the starting eleven, I didn't think we could lose. One was Colin Bell, one was David Silva 'n the third was Yaya. When they didn't make the start my heart sank to my boot straps.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

How about blaming the club for not being able to see his dying brother?

Calling Pep a racist?

His agent was his mouthpiece and Yaya could have silenced him at any time; he never did while he was at City.

I think Selcuck said that

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

We should have paid him some more

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

One of the very, very best to wear the shirt.

Pep responded directly to Toures idiotic statement, I don't know why people are attributing Toures employee with the remarks.

How the fuck anyone can support what he is said is unbelievaboo.

Still waiting for his statue outside, he had the balls to join when others wouldn't (looking at you Kaka), and dragged us to cup wins and titles multiple times.

I had no idea Yaya said that himself, I always thought it was from his agent

They both said things mate, great footballer but a total arse.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Yaya Toure... The King. A colossus. An absolutely complete footballer.

Simply the greatest player I've seen in a City shirt in my 70+ years. Only Colin Bell came anywhere close to him imo.
