No shirt number should ever be retired for any reason. We should never have retired 23 for Foe neither

This, Yaya has been fabulous for us, but you retire a shirt when a player/former player dies, not when they go somewhere else.

I mentioned in the David Silva thread that while we have not traditionally retired shirt numbers, because teams used the 1-11, in an era of squad numbers, is it time to identify and recognize the real game changers and giants of an era.
As such, Yaya has been instrumental in the growth of Brand City and the new era of success we have enjoyed, and hope to enjoy long into the future.
So, has the Number 42 become “his”? Will it always be synonymous with Yaya?
No way he allowed his agent to dish our club on several occasions

I think it's weird how we retire a shirt number as a tribute to people in this country. I'd like to see us go the other way and retire the shirt numbers of the truly dreadful players who played for us. Sometimes I think the only logical explanation for certain performances of Samaras, Corradi, Garrido et al is that their shirt numbers were somehow cursed.

Retiring the shirt of a living player would be a massive break from tradition. There's no reason to retire the number.
With some of his performances this season the ‘living’ bit could be up for discussion :O
