How many times a world-class moment of magic brilliance from Yaya saved us ?
Countless games were we looking like never scoring until one of his vital goals comes and bail us out .
Skill-wise and due to his crucial goals in big games, not a single player could be worthy of the comparison with Yaya, it is really not even a contest.
He is one of the most gifted player i have seen from the last decade.
Basically, with the correct direction and training, he could have played successfully at almost any position in the pitch,
be it as a goalie, as a centre-back, as a n°10, as a false 9, hell, even as a bursting wing man.
Long time before we witness another player as gifted and versatile as Yaya, maybe never ever.
Now, i agree that even if he may seem like a bit of a **** in the edges; it is a sign of the times we live in.
Call them modern mercenaries if you want, but the times of loyal players such as Maldini and Le Tissier are long gone.
Nowadays, players don't give a flying fook about legacy. It is money and individual interest above all else.
Yaya is a water drop in an ocean of greedy and selfish spoiled batch.
