Yaya Toure [Merged]

[Blue Elmo]

yaya could be in manchester at the weekend ,as ivory coast are out more or less

not if they score eight and portugal lose ;) but yeah they're as good as out I want to see this guy line up alongside bareth barry or NDJ as a holding player but id prefer him as box to box

Suits him perfectly!

pity he won't be wearing it.

your right he will look better in the new shirt

I'm showing my ignorance now so dont take the piss too much but read in the paper he's another defensive midfielder (i dont know anything about him whatsoever lol).
Is this true?I realise the squad needs strengthening but with De-Jong,Barry,Vierra&Kompany it seems one position that didnt need filling.

Dont want this to sound like a negative post im curious as to how he will fit in,hope its not at the expense of Nige or Kompany.

No, Yaya is a complete MF player, imagine De Jong-Barry and Ireland roled into one and you have Yaya Toure but he can also play CB and if he did he would be our best CB by some distance like he will be our best MF player even if we get Silva too, Yaya is world class.

Yaya will do well for us but he is nowhere near as good as Silva.
