Yes, probably. But his lack of mobility really counts against him everywhere else...
In the system we are using right now, as a starting player, yes. But as a sub, or an option for something different, such as to change to the kind of setup you are talking about, we just have him & Aleix Garcia imo.
They are different to our other mids.
Think he will see out his contract as not going to get paid anything like at another European club, could move as free agent next year possible to China?
Can't see him starting any of the League or European games, not mobile enough to fit in to Peps team, more to be used as an impact sub but think when. Gundogan is fit the fact that we already have Delph in reserve not sure he will see much game time. Thought he tried hard last night but not the player of two seasons ago but age catches up with us all.
Don't think Yaya will be going anywhere until is contract ends and, if and when he plays, he isn't going to hare around like a teenager because he is a 33 year old of some size and plenty of miles on the clock.
Be interesting to see how much Pep does use him.
How many do we need to bin off now if Hart stays ?
I forgot where we are up to.
I thought Yaya looked really sad when he went off & assumed it was for Joe's sake but now I wonder.
I was there and you weren't mistaken. He chased one ball down and put in a tackle but fuck all else.For me, I thought he was awful last night (from TV screen I hasten to add), I wouldn't be that surprised if that was his farewell game also.
