Yaya Toure

[thyer64]

I often get frustrated by Yaya but let's have a think :

His surging runs
The way in his prime he dominated the midfield
His range of passing
His sheer presence
The number of amazing free kicks he's scored
The amount of times he won the big games

United in the semi
Stoke in the FA cup
Newcastle away in the league
Palace away in the league
United away in the 3-0
Sunderland in the League cup
Liverpool in the league cup winning pen

Forget the gutter press, forget his agent ! Yaya has always said in interviews I want to make history with this club ! He did make history !!

Now then we all talk about King Colin ( I was named after him ) we talk about the famous Bell Lee Summerbee era

The three of them added together did not score more important goals than the big man. In fact Neil Young comes closest.

Young - FA cup Leicester , ECWC Gornik, Newcastle away title big goals

Booth - Everton FA cup semi

Doyle & Pardoe - West Brom League cup

Tueart - League Cup Newcastle

Power - Ipswich FA cup semi
Hutchison - Spurs
Mckenzie - Spurs replay

Morley - Bradford
Dickov - Gillingham
Goater - Gillingham

Kompany - United at home title

Dzeko - QPR title
Aguero - QPR title

Nasri - West Ham title
Kompany West Ham title

There will be more but the fact is that NO SINGLE PLAYER in our entire history has delivered what Yaya Toure has for Manchester City !

A sign of the times that many of us do not acknowledge or appreciate it !

Either little knowledge of our history , short memories, spoilt new fans or just knobheads. It's got to be one of the above.

Club Legend ( maybe the biggest )

A lot also forget it was YaYa who have the assist for the first vs QpR with a beautiful chip despite carrying an injury and having to go off right after.

Who's forgot? The fact is it has no relevance whatsoever and using it as a defence for his poor shows is ludicrous.

So I take it all the people banging the drum for him would play him for the last two games?

 

[mancityvstoke]

so Yaya is really 64?

Be suicide to play him against Arsenal's midfield.

It was suicidal to play him against Real Madrid's midfield but the desperation to play him on here was immense by some, claiming he's a big game player and would be capable of winning the game for us.

The game was all so predictable, sadly.

He'll not only play, he'll be captain.
Seeing as we keep being asked to be in a reflective mood regarding his past exploits, think about this one ;
Would you give the captaincy to a player who can't or won't organise, encourage, lead by example, run, tackle and is leaving in two game's time after repeated threats?

Can't think of anyone less I want to captain the side than Yaya.
