Player topic : Yaya Toure (2015/16)

Sell him and pay top dollar for Dele alli and maybe another type player to give eachother a rest and rotate.

I think this will be a very interesting question. If i had to guess, i would say pep will drop him like a stone, but it could easily be that he relies on him. Pep's requirements will be very different to Pellegrini's & unless someone has inside info, it's a tough one to call.

Yeah it is mate. In possession, he probably is what Pep wants, but out of it, he isn't. Having said that, he will have different responsibilities under Pep. He won't be trying to operate in both boxes and we will have more control over the game. When we are compact and rotate the ball quickly, he is perfect for us. When we try and be expansive in a game where there are lots of transitions, I think he struggles. I think we will get a good season out of him under Pep personally, but its tough to predict considering we don't know who will be brought in.

He isn't lazy. He has just lost some power and speed. Is every ageing man or woman lazy?

The comment was directed at Waspish because he said he has a "lazy look about him" but he isn't lazy, it makes absolutely no sense and to be fair your age related comments have absolutely no relevance to his lazy comments.

So let's use the word "indecent" instead of "disgraceful" - as Yaya did. Happy now?

And how about substituting "petulance" for "winning mentality"?

Did someone mention a dictionary?

Watch out Yaya, Bacon chops is coming for you..

Seriously what is your problem with Yaya? Win lose or draw your on his thread dishing it out about him..

Not so much a problem, incy; more a reaction to some of the short-sighted and/or self-serving comments made by his defenders. And I am kinder and far less prolific than many on this thread. I do believe you are developing an obsession.

Barrys that good he can't even make the England squad.

Hardly a qualification is it.

The lazy tag is boring. MP obviously doesn't think he is lazy and he backs that up by pointing out that the numbers prove he runs as far as his team mates. I think the stats also show he continues to have more touches of the ball than his team mates. However, this amount of effort is apparently not enough becuase the rather sizeable unit that is Yaya does not sprint everywhere.

It's you with the obsession, like I said win lose or draw your on here giving it out about him..

Have you even seen or read the interview? Here just for you..


Just then, three Ghanaian reporters walk in. They hesitate, unsure of his mood and whether to try for an exclusive. Eventually, Nana Akua Amankwaa from TV3 Ghana goes forward.

“Hi Yaya, can I get a selfie?”

Still pacing, the player responds: “Yes, sure.” After the selfie, she asks for an interview. Touré agrees.

While her cameraman gets ready, the third journalist, Kwame Dwomoh from Class FM in Accra, whips out his recorder. Lights are checked. Sound is checked. And then Kwame asks the midfielder: “Were you surprised you came in second today?”

“To be honest? Yeah, a little bit. But at the end of the day what you have to know is that in sport anything [can] happen. And to be a player who wants to achieve a lot of things as much as possible, it is very important to keep it going. And sometimes, when, in the end, you win a trophy and you are not able to achieve things personally it is a shame. But what can we do?”

Kwame: “Were you expecting to win?”

Touré: “What do you think? I ask you a question.”

Kwame: “I don’t know”.

Touré: “You don’t know? Me as well, I don’t know. Because normally when you win the African Cup of Nations and you are able to be named as one of the 23 best players in the world, being in the Fifpro list as the [only] African and, today, to be decided second, what can you do?”

Touré is asked how disappointed he is, considering that this would have been a record fifth award. He blows out his cheeks. “I think so, yeah. Because normally this kind of trophy you achieve it when you have won something and when, at the end of the season, you have achieved something, you know what I mean? I don’t say like I would be the best and I don’t want to complain but when you win important trophies and you don’t win personal trophies it is a little bit of a shame.”

Kwame: “Do you want to congratulate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang?”

Yaya: “Yes, definitely. But I think it’s not his fault. The fault is with people he knows, you know what I mean? Aubameyang has been doing brilliantly. As well as André Ayew he deserves it today as well but to be honest with you I am little bit disappointed, but what can we do?”

He feels hard done by and robbed yet people on here call him an arsehole, remember he's a fucking city player who should be shown a lot more respect not just for what he's done for our club..Maybe, just maybe that's why he isn't shown respect and that my son is what fucking grates me..

Have you got a source for that?

Won't be invovled today so let's hope he isn't missed. Although, if we lose, it will no doubt be MP's fault for leaving out Dinho and Silva.
