Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

Re: Yaya Toure

Lol, you can count players 'technically better' than Yaya on one hand. Fernando definitely isn't one.

I am 100% certain that Fernando is better than YaYa at defending and passing the ball 40 yards to feet.
YaYa is far better at attacking mind.

Yaya is head and shoulder our best passer of the footballer. Fernando is not in yayas class at anything from what I have seen of him ( which is admittedly limited )

Youre wrong and in for a surprise then.

Re: Yaya Toure

I don't know how much truth is in this but I saw in an article about Fernandinho in the MEN which one of the comments from a user said that Fernando was bought to compete with Yaya and not Fernandinho which Yaya feels really threatened. This is what the guy said:

Doesn't sound like the fernando discussed on the transfer forums who's a pure defensive midfielder, if anything to take on yaya and dinhos defensive duties to make them able to concentrate on attacking.

Wouldn't be surprised if talks are being planned though, makes sense to sort out what yayas actually after and what we want to do (convince him to stay/sell him off)

But remember, Toure came as a DM to City. Fernando could evolve the same way as Yaya did if not more. But dunno if he gets sold, personally I would like City to try to get Pogba or Vidal. Fernandinho can do what Yaya does as well. But let's see, it's all for what the club decides.

Fernando is a photocopy of Toure. They have their differences. e.g. Fernando is not overweight, he tracks back, he closes down, he tackles hard.

But Yaya is the better dribbler.

And a prolific goal scorer, let's not forget that one. But it's a futile analogy.

Re: Yaya Toure

You cant replace Toure he is the best at what he does, but you can sell move on and put that money into 1 player we need Dinho would be as good as we could get on the market to replace him we need a great CH I'd like to see the money from Yaya and 30 odd mill go to the best poss CH

Starting the season with only Fernando, Fernandinho and Garcia as central midfielders would be folly in my opinion. Milner could play there, but if Toure left (still a big if in my opinion) we would be well short in that position compared to our rivals.

Re: Yaya Toure

I think Fernando would allow Fernandinho to play Yayas role (if for some reason Yaya wasn't playing).

Fernandinho definitely has the quality to play further forward, and I think we signed Fernando with that in mind. There's no way we'll let Toure go without replacing him though. His departure would leave a big void in the squad.

I have a feeling that Pellegrini wanted Fernandiho to play in his natural role last season, but Yaya refused to play in a holding role.

It makes no sense that we spend £35 million on a CM but then we use him as a sitting midfielder.

The timing of Toure wanting to go couldn't be worse. His age and desire to leave will influence the price, and it's doubtful we can bring in a player of his quality for whatever fee we end up getting.
If Yaya does leave, the FFP sanctions that were a slight hinderance, could suddenly have real weight.
