The facts? The facts sunshine are that Yaya Toure has been absolutely instrumental in everything we have achieved over the last 5 or 6 years, without him we would have won neither league title, and neither domestic cup. I think it's also fair to say that signing GREAT players like Yaya has been a big part of attracting other big players like Kun. As for the shit that he sometimes comes out with or more often his agent, so fucking what, sticks and fucking stones comes to mind. He may well say some stuff that we would all rather he didn't but he is a footballing genius, not a bloody author. How many famous actors have you heard come out with claptrap, fucking most of them I would say, but does that mean you don't watch and enjoy their films, it is how talented people sometimes communicate. You talk about facts, we'll find me a factual criticism of Yaya from any current City teammate, any past City team mate for that matter, or any current or past member of the City coaching or management staff? FACT is they haven't criticised him and they are the people he works with. Dickheads on here might slag him to fuck, and no-brain muppets like lawrenson mills Owen, but strangely never his colleagues. Along with the likes of David, Sergio, Vincent, Joe, Pablo etc he is part of what has made us great rather than the shit to mediocrity of most of what I have watched in over 50 years as a Blue, and I would rather have a flawed genius than no genius at all, FACT

absolutely spot on

the reason those idiots int he media want to criticise him so much is that they know that he is instrumental in us playing well and dominating...they will do anything to disrupt that...especiually the likes of scholes who remember yaya absolutely dominated on the field and who has been instrumental in bringing about the downfall of his beloved team (can add owen into that as well)...the same with lawrenson who has had to watch yaya make a fool out of gerrard every time he played against him....they cant stand it

we know yada's weaknesses and we know that we have to stop using him as a focus to build the team around as its not working anymore and his effectiveness is diminishing (though not as much as people on here make out and he is still a vital cog in linking and moving the ball back to front as none of the others can do that as well as he can...).....his agent is also a prize prick but that is football these days and some people need to stop being so precious about what has gone on in the past.

they guy when he leaves will do so in my eyes as an absolute legend and instrumental in bringing about our success in the last 5 years (along with the other key players)......the fact that he has systematically made fools of some of the best english footballers of this generation along the way brings an even bigger smile to my face...the likes of gerrarrd, terry, scholes etc couldn't get close to him

just remember the comments on when we first bought him and that argument that was on 5 live between a city fan and someone on there (ex rag) saying he had never heard of him......and he want the only one..........He has made them look fools and they cant stand it and now they are trying to get one over on him and the club in any way possible

For the stat lovers.

Although "skysports" and "truth" is a new one.

That's a great review. When you see how many times the opposition team can get past our central midfield and at our defence Yaya should be sprinting a lot more than he does. He's miles behind our other central midfield options. That's the telling stat in my opinion. He's still got quality but he either can't play every game so he's got the energy to put more effort in when he does play, or he's used in a more forward role. Personally I'd be using him sparingly as we did Lampard last season. The trouble is, with Yaya, he still thinks he's god's gift and he's unlikely to commit to the cause if he's not playing week in week out.

An undoubted star in our successful sides, he's egotistical and wants success for largely selfish reasons. His comments about not winning African player of the year were evidence of this. I hope that by playing him we don't sacrifice our chances of success. He's still a top class player but needs to be managed in terms of minutes on the pitch.
 
He's never been a high sprints player though. He keeps moving (covering more ground than Fernandinho) and making himself available for the ball but he's never been one for lots of short, sharp bursts.
