Well done on yaya and txiki who i think have sorted this out between them and kept seluk as far away fronm it as legally possible,he has found some balls to shut seluk up at last

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Well done everybody, I was ready to write him off as more trouble than he was worth but I'm pleased he's going again with us next season.

I just hope he is used correctly and doesn't end up burned out by xmas.

 

[Vienna_70]

Great news, IMHO.

He fully deserves another year given his performances since he came back into the side in November.

Although he can no longer produce the 40-50 metre runs that were such an impressive part of his armoury, he can still influence a game with his brilliant passing.

I doubt Yaya will play as much next season as he has this one just finished, but he will certainly be a very useful member of the squad.

if he plays in 34 games next season he will have played 333 in total for us.

 

[Mansour's lamborghini]

Just seen he's scored 81 goals in 299 games. That's a remarkable return for a midfielder.

Best player I've ever seen in a City shirt. I've got a few years behind me too. Fabulous in his day, glad we've got him for another year. He's not what he was but who is? Never seen anything like him.

 

[City_Sean]

Over the moon that he's staying. Always said he's the best player I've ever seen in a City shirt, and to have him for another year is an absolute pleasure.

 

[jared]

Good news. May not always be the case but when a player turned down chance of moving elsewhere for more money or more playing time, it usually means he is extra motivated for the club

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Good! He's been our second best player this season

 

[TFC]

Never thought I'd say this, but very glad to hear it. Hopefully we give him a prem winners medal to go out with.

[tweety]

best allround footballer i've seen, so happy he's signed for another year, still got plenty to give.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Feeling really good about having Yaya next season. Feel he is more comfortable under Pep now and will have a special season for us.

 

[eversince 76]

Great news and the big man totally deserved it. Great business by City as well. in the games he does play Yaya will show how important he still is. And after he ran Pogba ragged we can give him the goodbye he deserves for being one of the most influencial players ever to wear a City top.

 

[Scar Tissue]

Well deserved for Yaya. Rapt that he wants it as well. Great news.

 

[citizenyank76]

Glad he gets one more victory lap. One of the most decorated and wonderful players we've had.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

A motivated and in shape Yaya is a top 5 midfielder in the prem league still.

 

[CrownPointBlue]

His relationship,mentoring & status with the youngsters is great to see.

Giving Jesus that penalty was the act of a man who is embracing & relishing the role of senior pro & statesman. A man to look upto.

The youngsters referring to him as Uncle is a lovely sign of the affection they hold for him.

We know the player........we're now seeing the man we've always wanted.

Respect Yaya.

Just seen he's scored 81 goals in 299 games. That's a remarkable return for a midfielder.

Imagine if he made it 100 before the end of next season.... (If we got all the penalty's we should have had he'd probably be nearly there already!)

The Dream.... Yaya, FA Cup Final, at that end scoring his 100th City goal to win us the cup...... I can dream!

The thing that sets Yaya aside from just about all our players in the last 20 odd years has been his ability to play his best football in the really big games. FA Cup semi versus the Rags, Final Against Stoke, Final against Sunderland, Final against Liverpool - he's had a huge impact in all those games. Also in derby games and in premiership run in's etc. you could generally rely on him to be at the top of his game. Great player who performs when it really matters.
