I noted, the other day, that Yaya has now decided to play again for the Ivory Coast and, if selected, will be leaving for the African Cup competition held in a warm climate within the next few days. I also noted that his agent has stated that Yaya will not be leaving City during this January transfer window. It’s also a fact that Yaya is mostly on the bench nowadays and January/ February are months when a lot of Cup games will be played when bench players will be called on the help the club’s rotation plans. I wonder if these issues are, somehow, related?
By the way, Yaya must come close to being the best African player of all time but, to my mind , would not come number one.
