Yaya Toure signs one year extension.

Makes far more sense extending Yaya's contract than Navas. Yaya offers us that control in big games, and even if he plays a bit part role, he brings a winning mentality and that drive in CM.

Hopefully they will now sell Fernandinho who had turned to shit this season.

Can't keep both surely.

I can understand extending Navas because of his versatility. I cannot understand extending Toure.

Here's an explanation for you then:

When Yaya comes on or in he can play well, when Navas comes on or in he does shit.

Navas can play two positions. I'm not a fan, but he can. If a right sided winger or FB got hurt he can fill in for either. He's not starting. His job is safer because he can be useful as a squad player.

Yaya has little ability to press or play with tempo and he's a statue in MF now. He's had one third of one good season over the last two years, and has no versatility. He's at the exact age when players begin a more precipitous decline. I have loved him -- he could take over games and carry the side -- but he's not that player anymore.

I think the overhaul that's needed is so big we can't afford to do it in One window, that's the reason for these 1 year contract's being offered.

I think you are talking perfect sense.

Of course. No question. At FB we know we need a number so that why at least I understand keeping Navas. But for a MF role the way Pep wants it played do we need more than one assuming Gundogan is fit? Maybe extending Yaya is protection in case IG is hurt again (I know they aren't exactly the same kind of player).

Very stupid of you to bring the whole cake thing up, that's something I would expect from a rag. We all know the media were behind the cake saga. I understand you were trying to be funny but yaya has attained legend status here and played a very important rule in the 2011/2012 and 2013/2014 title run in. Show some respect.

You need to lighten up and stop being touchy

So we are happy with Yaya who had been dreadful the last two years (not too bad this season) but we want to bin Fernandinho who has had his first poor year? Probably only fucked this year due to carrying Yaya the last two

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Fernandinho hasn't been shit all year anyway. He was decent earlier in the season.
