Yaya Toure [Merged]

[Citizen Green]

We're going to have a huge team next season when you think about it...

Lescott
Kompany
Boateng
Yaya Toure
Adebayor
Vieira

I can see a lot of goals coming from set-pieces.

Well no team in the league scored more set-piece goals than us last season. Not a single one. So it wouldn't surprise me if we carry on where we left off, especially now we have Adam Johnson's delivery for a whole season not just half a season.

Never knew that mate, very interesting indeed.

One thing's for sure, we won't be getting bullied with these tanks in our squad.

the back line could easily be this:

Boateng - 6'3
Kompany - 6'4
Lescott - 6'2
Kolarov - 6'2

Very hard to beat a zonal marking system in set pieces with 4 big guys across the 6 yard line

No 92nd minute Shrek/Scholes header with that army at the back for sure, can't wait.

That's a crazy stat given our corners have been tosh for years. Do set pieces tend to include direct free kicks in the stats?

A statement on Barcelona's official website read: "Barcelona director-general Joan Oliver has said that the club has agreed the exits of Yaya Touré and Thierry Henry but that at the moment the final moves are in their hands.

I think the deal is done but can't be officially announced until next week because the transfer window doesn't officially open until July 1st in Spain.

This coincides with what Toure's agent was saying:

'I think we will have a solution this week. In fact, I would say that (it will be done) on the first or second of July - maybe on the second because the first will be a very busy day at Barca with the change of president,' agent Dimitri Seluk told Barcelona-based daily newspaper Sport.

i think all contracts run to June 30th or January 31st/Feb 1st i.e the day before the transfer window officially opens.
