Re: Yaya Toure

Re: Yaya Toure

Agree, he's the best midfielder in Europe right now

£50m all day long

Now your both are talking fucking bollocks.

If we sell Yaya it will be for £30m minimum. £50m isn't too unrealistic. If PSG were willing to spend £40m on Luiz surely, if they genuinely want him, £50m is reasonable for Toure.

Completely agree. It seems there are a certain element of people on here who can quite grasp that City can demand top dollar for Toure.

Quoting previous sales of anyone of any age is a pointless comparison. There is only one Yaya, he is the age he is regardless, and we have him contracted.

If someone wants him then they will pay the price we demand or they don't get him. It really is that simple folks. It's not like looking for the best deal on a new Ford Focus; we are the only garage with this particular Bugatti (so to speak) and if you want it badly enough then you buy from us at our price.

Now hopefully the morons who are saying City can't stop him leaving nor get more than £10m for him will go for a lay down.

Re: Yaya Toure

Yaya will still be a great player when he's 34 I think. The lung-bursting runs will probably disappear but it's not like he's always doing them now. No one in the Premier League can match the way he controls a game from midfield (maybe Matic in a couple of years) and that's why I think we could really feel his loss for a while.

There would be no like-for-like replacement and we'd probably have to rebalance the team in some way which would be helped by the signing of Fernando, who is one of the best defensive midfielders at Champions League level.

Yaya's intelligence on the pitch is underrated, just look at his passing stats from last year, #1 in most categories. City should set an extortionate price if he demands to leave and if no one meets it then he has to stay, simple as that. We cannot let the heartbeat of our side go for any sort of discount. I'm fuming at him at the moment for what he's done, but I really hope he stays for the good of the team.

Yup, can't really fault that assessment. You're certainly right about his control of games, and also about the lung bursting runs. The press fixates on them, but since the second half of 2012 they've dwindled in frequency in direct correlation to the number of parked buses we've faced.
I think you're right about how long he can compete at the very top as well. Most players with his build fall away pretty quickly around the 31/32 mark, but he's uniquely athletic and light on his feet. Sylvan Distin is the only obvious comparison I can think of.
I'd love to see him stay at City for another couple of years, but he's been such a total **** these last 10 days, and treated the club, the fans, and the owners with such contrived contempt, that I don't think there are any more bridges left to burn. Sad, and I'd love to be wrong, but I think he's as good as gone

LoveCity is a fantastic judge of a player imo.

Can't comment on Fernando but agree with everything else.

Yaya is the best player in the league IMO but it is not simply the loss of his talent that could be detrimental, it is the level of understanding that he has built up with the other key players. Team work takes time to develop and he is the hub of the team.

That's probably the sum total of one person.

A bigger school of thought say £25m to £30m if the club actually WANTS to sell him. Age does come into the equation; very much so.

40m to 50m makes me think some are confusing £ with €.

Just because we can demand top dollar, doesn't mean that we'll get it. If a wealthy club doesn't want to buy him at 'top dollar', they'll just express an interest (via his agent of course) and wait for us to offload him at a reduced rate.

We won't want to keep Tevez mark 2 around the dressing room next season. He'll get little or no support from the fans, and he will inevitably drift aimlessly around the pitch if he gets a game.

City will bomb the **** - The transfer fee is of secondary importance - Getting his million quid a month off the payroll is the priority.

Re: Yaya Toure

His wage is a problem . In fact the blokes improved so we should get 30 million . So no he cant go on the cheap . That would make his agent very happy if he went for less money .

Re: Yaya Toure

They will just up his dosh. Damaged goods though I'm afraid. I still say he goes or stays on OUR terms, but we'll buckle for the sake of the team.
