I don't think it's wild. It's debatable but not wild. He has scored more important goals for City than anyone else I can remember. And, in his pomp, he's the most exciting City player I've ever seen.

I doubt there is anyone left who disagrees that Yaya has been misused in a midfield two. Don't blame the player, what is he supposed to do, tell his boss to fuck off he's not playing where he's been told to?Then I believe you are doing a discredit to other brilliant players that have played for us, players that work their sock's off week in week out and players that haven't looked for a transfer every single summer since joining
Looking for a transfer is another aguement .Works his socks is a fallacy that fans listen to the media , he works no harder or less now than when he was scoring 20odd goals .

This is what I will always remember about Yaya Toure - the 4th goal against Villa.

Just run would be nice

In terms of ability it's between Aguero and Silva probably and that's with trying to forget Silvas performances this season! Off the pitch is massive for me too though, he has took the piss out of our club royally many times and for that kind of shit takes the shine off what was an amazing first 3 years he had with us.
Kun & Silva are both great players undoubtedly . My only gripe with Silva is he doesn't influence games and score enough .
1 good thing is we now can have debates about who is our greatest player, before Mansour era is was undeniably King Colin ( who I saw play ). Each to their own opinions , but I think it's wide of the mark to say Yaya is miles away from being our greatest player

This is where it's about opinions. In my view Yaya and Aguero are up there as the best signings since the takeover. Silva, I personally don't understand the hype. Great to watch when he's at his best, silky smooth on the ball, however he just doesn't have the influence the other two have had.Just run would be nice

Off the pitch I actually don't give a monkey's. Couldn't care less, as long as it's not the Adam Johnson type stuff. Agents/birthdays etc just don't influence my opinions on players.

What, Yaya do shuttle runs for 90 minutes in the Premier League In a midfield two at his age?
The definition of madness is is to keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome every time. Yaya in a two doesn't work, unfortunately the penny has NEVER dropped with Manuel and I doubt it ever will with one just one game of his tenure left for us all to endure.

He's absolutely a legend of this football club.
Yaya Toure - 263 games, 72 goals, 41 assists
- Dictated the way we have played since he pulled on the shirt
- Scored every type of goal, some bloody important ones too
- Is there a better sight in football than a Yaya Toure mazy run with defenders bouncing off him?
- Missed just 4 games before this season due to injury in his time here and they were due to one injury.
- He's unique, there is no other player like him.

No im not saying that, and he played infront of a two in Madrid. Feel free to find the clip that was doing the rounds of him standing still like a bell end whilst Madrid played their way round him. Whilst I agree he may of not been in his position much, when he has he hasn't ripped up any trees
