Yaya - a time to cash in?

[Jaffamandango]

Definitely going to put the cat amongst the pigeons with this one.

I think we are in a perfect position to sell him and aquire a specialised player like kondogbia or gundogan. I know most people will be like, he's our best player, he's a beast, he won us the fa cup and the title.

However let me paint another picture, he's a jack of all trades but a master of none whose value is only going to decrease parallel to his stamina. Yes when he runs at defences he's frightening, but that won't be his job next season, and as a defensive player I find him very lazy and petulant at times. There is no doubt he's been a hero for us but I think now is a time we think of whole team dynamics and I can't help think, he could be a possible weak link, especially with his stamina and tendencies to go missing even tho he was alledgly pro Mancini.

So cash in or keep?

I would give him a full season under Pellegrini before deciding.

Re: Yaya - a time to cash in

I'm undecided.

On his day unplayable.

The trouble is,he didn't have many last season.

Plus,i'm not sure there is a suitable replacement available.

Might as well wave our chances of winning the league goodbye with him if he goes.

I doubt he will play the role that Mancini gave him under MP especially in a 433, I rather a player playing at 100% each game than when they feel like it
