Yaya Toure

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

How would he add any value to them?

He will be going wherever the biggest pay day is

He won't go there,he is 35 and a top 4 team won't take him even the rags,join up with mp is his best hope of staying in the prem on a decent wage

They have previous for signing older players, past their prime, as statements and vehicles for marketing/merchandising, though. And they are desperate to get even a symbolic (mostly empty) “victory” over us, no matter that costs, hence the Sanchez transfer. Add to it the Pogba mentoring angle, which I’ve just found Yaya actually apparently talks up himself, and you have a small possibility.

It probably doesn’t happen, though.

See above for my take on that—(very) temporary reprieve from desperation is a form of value to them these days.

Yaya is 6 foot 2, Juan Mata is only 5 foot 7, it's a clear upgrade imo

Mata usually doesn't know how to defend; Yaya usually doesn't try to defend.

Neither player is going to be in Morhino's squad.

Think you missed the joke...

Or I am the victim of a double, reverse, summersault clarkie.

Nope... I'm just fed *up*.

Poor that from Yaya.

It wouldn't hurt to rule out the rags unless he knows he would consider it. Just goes to show he has zero loyalty and doesn't give a flying fuck about the fans. A real shame.

And I can see it too. The rags losing Carrick and fellaini and it's a chance to 'rob' us of a club legend...

I tell you, if he were to go there, he would be no legend in my eyes.

Hopefully he doesn't.

(And no, I don't think that's an overreaction. Vinny, Dave, Kun, Dinho, Pablo... they would say no chance!)

A bit of spin from SSN but, at the same time, I have said before that I would not be shocked if he eventually went to them. Of all of our departing modern era players, he (especially when you consider Seluk’s modus operandi) is the most likely to be open to such a move.

For the record, I hope it never happens, and especially not right after leaving us with a send off as he has received. It would sour things a bit.

Past it, huge wages/signing fee/agent fee, Maureen and Seluk would be comedy gold, yes please.

Wouldn't be arsed one bit if he went to United. He's been past it for two years.

Wouldn't be added one bit if he went to United. He's been past it for two years.

Like Rooney. A great footballer so long as he doesn't have to move
