Re: Yaya

I dont think all 3 could play we would be to defensive

Probs not but I think he'd play infront of de jong as box to box hopefully with javi martinez or maybe even milner

That would be great as long s bobby manc dosen't play him with barry and ndj as a defensive mid

Re: Yaya

Yaya Toure is not a defensive midfielder. He's been restricted to a holding role whilst at Barca, which is understandable since they have Iniesta, Xavi, Messi etc going forward. Whilst at Olympiakos and Monaco he was a proper midfielder, box-to-box, tackling, passing, scoring, the lot.

----------------------------- Hart --------------------------

Van Der Wiel -- Boateng -------- Kompany ------ Luiz ---

--------------------------- De Jong ------------------------
------------ Yaya Toure ------------ Martinez -----------

-------- Johnson ---------------------------- Robinho ------
---------------------------- Tevez -------------------------

Feel free to replace Robinho with any of Di Maria, Aguero, Silva, Joe Cole or Gourcuff. Or replace Robinho with Ade (or Ibrahimovic or Dzeko), play him up front with Tevez and allow Johnson to take up a free role behind the strikers, drifting from wing to wing.

Re: We're gettin Yaya!!!!

if Tevez's brother was playing for Valencia we'd be signing him no doubt

Well we've heard 2567 players are coming to City so I don't think that means too much.

Yup. The correct comparison is to Patrick Vieira in the good old days - size, energy and athleticism, power, technique.

I like your lineup but I think the defensive midfield role would be better played by Gareth Barry in that lineup - not sure, with Toure in there, that you need a player who is an out and out defensive midfielder.
