Sergio, David and Yaya £86M

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

I asked what kuns current value is and aguero93:20 kindly sussed it was 60 but right now i reckon he would go for a minimum of 90 if you look at other recent big deals.

Personally i never want to find out in the real world what he would command :-D

Not even we could afford him now.

Absolutely top top players but at the time we bought them it was the going rate possibly at that time we overpaid for yaya givern he was an odd job man .its. Like saying we got bell .lee etc for £30 .comparing what we paid to what they are now worth is daft .best not to mention rocky Ade etc which we overpaid and lost on .

It is amazing to be able to watch the best players in the world wearing a city shirt. Compare Kompany, Aguero and Silva to Dunne, Corradi and Dabo. Haha we've come a million miles and I bloody love it, we deserve this my fellow Blues ;).

Not at all. at the time we bought him he was in and out at barca and being used as a stand in centre half .so £24 m was a big gamble IMHO .its paid off in spades but he could of been another rocky,

Definitely overpaid according to Brian Reade at the Mirror. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/opinion/football-opinion/brian-reade-column-millions-squandered-3353824" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mirror.co.uk/opinion/footbal ... ed-3353824</a>

But no tale has scared me as much as the one I read in a sniffy broadsheet, last Sunday, which could have come from the business pages:

“Manchester City’s new £24m signing from Barcelona, Yaya Toure, is being paid £220,000-a-week. His initial wage of £185,000 will rise to £221,000 when the 50% tax rate comes in next April. He is due to receive £4.1m a year after tax, an image rights payment of £1.65m a year and a bonus of £823,000 each time City qualify for the Champions League and £412,000 if they win the competition. He will also get bonuses if the club win the Premier League and the FA Cup. The deal including his transfer fee, wages and bonuses, totals £79.6m.”

Holy. Mother. Of. Jesus. Where will that leave the price of everyone’s season ticket in five years time?

Even more frightening was what that report didn’t say. Toure is not actually that great. He’s not a creative genius who will get backsides off seats but a defensive midfielder who stops players who can.

He wasn’t even a regular at Barcelona, having lost his place to Sergi Busquets. He may not even get a game for City, who already have four highly-rated players to fill that role – Patrick Vieira, Gareth Barry, Nigel de Jong and Vincent Kompany.

I particularly enjoy the bolded bits

It really is incredible when you lay it down like that, still think that Spanish Dave's and Sergio's best days are yet to come as well. Frightening.

This dumb sod? <a class="postlink" href="https://www.twitter.com/brianreade" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://www.twitter.com/brianreade</a>

Well remembered, if someone has twitter they should remind him he knows fuck all.

Yaya was played defensively but was never a defensive mid, this fella really does know fuck all.
It took even me just one match to see where his strengths lay when at barca.
Fucking bloggers!
