Yaya-Keep or Sell?

[Marvin]

I said in another thread that those 3 can't play in the same team. Personally, I'd have Toure and de Bruyne as I think de Bruyne can play the Silva role, but I don't think Silva can play the Toure role (wouldn't bother me if Pellegrini tried it, but he won't). I don't think he'd want that role either, and would probably move on rather than play second fiddle to de Bruyne. Unfortunately for us, I don't believe Pellegrini has the balls to make the tough decision about dropping players, so he'll probably start all 3, which will again expose our defenders who will get pelters on here for being shite.

There was a time when all 3 could play together.

This season has turned into a managing and nurse Yaya season and we are weak in midfield, an area where we would once dominate. It's annoying because if you look at the players we have, pellegrini has alternatives but he wont change even when results suggest he should

I'd disagree that it's just down to Toure. If the manager was 'managing and nursing Yaya then he woulkdnt be playing the formations he has been. Absolutely everyone, except our manager, knows you can't play him in a two man midfield set up. If anything you could make an argument that he has set the team, and Yaya up to fail. The whole season has seen us being dismantled by teams, and a lot of that has been the way the team has been set up.

Yes, we've had injuries, but opposition managers know how to set up against us and exploit the space behind Toure and whichever of the Fern's are in there. For my mind, I think Toure has been hung out to dry, as has our defence - especially our defence. It's a shame a lot of fans cant/won't see it and just constantly blame individuals.

He can get lost as far as I am concerned. Sick of this chump agent.

yup, time to move on. transfer fee is not important in this case anymore, its getting his huge wages off the books so they can be reinvested

The other day I read West Ham were willing to pay 20 million for him. I'd take that anyday. Don't care, it frees up a slot to have a younger, far more mobile player with probably more willingness. It is the perfect time to fuck him and his agent off. We just need to be careful and get a good replacement.

Personally I'd go poke the Chinese & hang this tasty morsel near them for a mere £40m.

I agree with many of the comments...His impact on the field isnt the same as it was a few years ago and he's also started to pick up injuries.......and with him and his agent at it again in the press....really hope Pogba (or another replacement) can be found so he can move on....

This x100. He gets played in the wrong position and all of a sudden his legs are gone.


I'd put money on him staying next season.

Transfer fee is very important if it results in him enjoying sweat and sour chicken for dinner next season!

His agent think he have the final say !


We should tell his agent that he has two options:

1- Honor his contract
2- Sold to China for 100 Million
