Yaya Toure - 2016/17 performances

Yep, though I would probably describe it as DeB, Gundo, Silva & Tielemanns 3 from 4 regularly with the other two as back up.
We will have injuries and I think Pep often likes to use DeB a bit further forward depending on who we are playing.

True.

Is everyone just hoping Fernandinho will find his form again? I can't see it. He is past his best for me. Very average season

Fantastic till his ban,then pep played him all over the place,put him back where he belongs and he is fine,making him a utility player is ruining him

Delph & Fernando replaced by Tielmans & Isco job done.
To replace YaYa, we're talking real top level in terms of ability & experience.

I think Fabinho would be perfect for City, excellent in two positions that Pep loves.

If I were Gaffer, they'd be the three I'd look at. Or Weigl, I think he's class.

I can't make my mind up about those last 2. I'd be happy enough with those signings though, so long as we dealt with the other positions.

Letting Yaya go is not a decision which should be made without one hell of a lot of thought though. Not now he's fit, anyhow.

Fernandinho just needs keeping fresh imo, same as Yaya, Silva, DeBruyne, & Gundogan for that matter.

When gundy is back we can rest him now and again

Dimitri Seluk (agent of Yaya Touré): "The City fans should all bring cakes to the game (on Saturday) to show Yaya how much they love him."

Seluk: "It looks like this will be Yaya’s final season with City and he deserves a special goodbye from the people of Manchester." [Mirror]

 

[yayas trusty right foot]

If we let him go it will be a big mistake..

its going to take a lot of money to replace him ( if it works out )

give him one more year with the option of a further year if he stays fit..

he is still a fantastic footballer with a lot to offer..

Looks to be off then.

The contract must be average in the eyes of Yaya I.e. much lower wages and a reduced role.

With a signing on fee plus 100k a week he could be earning 200k a week at say West Ham whilst playing week in week out.

I do actually agree, would be nice if there's some sort of appreciation shown at the West Brom game as it's looking like his last home game.

Not sure about cakes though.
