Player topic: Yaya Toure (2014/15)

[Silva_Spell]

this issue is becoming more and more apparent. yaya no longer seems to have the legs to be occasionally box to box.

if we want to manage the transition period it would make sense to keep Yaya, but if he is among those who are responsible for the on field malaise then we should cash in on him while we can

H doesn't have to be box to box. With a DM like Schneiderlin behind him as well as a more box to box partner (pogba) he can just take his average position 10-20 yards up the pitch. Just take a bit of the off the ball responsibility off him a bit.

I think we're in risk of going overboard. There are a few 'big' players that need to move on (eg. Dzeko 1st one imo) but Yaya is not one of them (neither is Kompany btw - talk of him following MP is ludicrous ...and disrespectful for that matter). Prior to the ACON he was probably our best player after a slow start.
He is a top passer and a goalscoring CM, they are hard to come by. We'd regret it imo.

Genuine question. Why would it be disrespectful to sell Vinnie? Surely, if he continues to play poorly, he has no overiding exemption?

Loyalty.

First bad patch he's had at the club and a few are treating him like a 2 bob whore. Some of the vitriol I've read on here and on twitter from so called City fans has been disgusting. Johnny-come-latelies, no doubt.

Lack of footballing intelligence as well. The best CB in the PL for the last 4 or 5 years and still in his 20's. You don't sell a CB as good as VK.

Lazy bastard.

Ever since cake gate I've gone right off him, and that shows ZERO signs of changing. He's just not arsed. If you can't be arsed showing up against the big boys, then when will you be arsed?

I would be very surprised if Yaya was with us next season.

Needs to play off the striker or not at all. Lost it.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Did he break sweat tonight? Abysmal tracking back.

 

[Ray78]

Thank you for all your contributions Yaya but it is time for a change.

 

[dark 'n stormy]

I've always been a big fan of Yaya, right from the start. But I'm a bigger fan of The club, there's no room for sentiment.

Time to move him on.

 

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

Let's give him a raise and an ambassadorship.

I love Ya Ya, love what he's done and achieved with the club, a wonderful passer, great vision and a fine footballer to wear the Man City shirt.

sadly i think his time has run.

time to move him on.. yet another sign that this current cycle is about to end.
