Our best ever player

Peak Yaya for me.
Totally unique player.
Can anyone name another player who played at centre half for an all conquering European giant, arrived in the Premier League and was turned into box to box midfielder who could win us games on his own from midfield?
I thought his best game for us was when we got beat by Madrid at the Bernabeu in 2012. They were petrified of him.
Big game player.

I'm torn between a couple of players, but Yaya comes very close. So many big moments from him, but that night when we tore the scum a new arsehole at the swamp with him getting the 3rd was something else.

Yaya played only several games at CB for Barca, due to injuries and suspensions. He was a midfielder there. Pep opted for Busquets and let Yaya move to us. Which was brilliant for us.

Yaya was a defensive midfielder at Barça, but played CB in the CL Final because of injuries & suspensions. He was superceded in Barça's midfield by Busquets...
 
I'd add a World Cup, a European Championship (plus CL when he was at Barca) for Henry.. Ronaldo was better still particularly factoring in his time at the Spanish Rags.
I was mentioning what the three players have won in their time at each club in the "Premier League", Surely what Henry and Ronaldo have won in Spain have absolutely nothing got to do with the Premier League.
