yaya.....

Yaya again proving his worth to this team !! I'd rather look at all the amazing things he already does than criticise him for things about his game he cannot change. We have a treasure in him and we shouldn't forget that

Yaya is no Phil Jones.

I cry every night

This isn't mumsnet, get a grip Girlbob.

Sorry the voices in my head made me type it:)

The Sun gave him 7/10 last night!! In the 65 minutes he was on the pitch the only mistake he made was hitting a free kick 1ft over the bar. It was a pleasure to sit and watch him last night.

Lazy ****!

City’s King of Africa’s reign as his continent’s best footballer goes on...

Yaya Toure has won the CAF African Footballer of the Year award for the third-successive year.

City’s Ivorian powerhouse saw off competition from Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel and Galatasaray’s Didier Drogba to be named the best player in Africa for 2013 in a ceremony in Lagos, Nigeria on Thursday night.

Yaya becomes only the second player to clinch the prize on three consecutive occasions after Samuel Eto’o achieved the feat between 2003 and 2005.

This 22nd CAF African Footballer of the Year award is not to be confused with the BBC African Footballer of the Year award Yaya won in December 2013 which was voted for by supporters across the globe.



This latest honour was decided by a poll of African national team coaches and technical directors.

Toure now only needs to win the award one more time to join Eto’o in an elite band of African players honoured with the prize the most times (four).


...Yaya Toure: CAF African Footballer of the Year...

Most recently, 30-year old played an instrumental role in City’s dismantling of West Ham in the Capital One Cup semi-final first-leg at the Etihad Stadium, weighing in with a sublime assist for Alvaro Negredo’s first goal, before scoring a magnificent solo goal of his own before half-time.

Already this season, Yaya has contributed to City's cause with 13 goals in his 26 appearances - a remarkable one-in-two return for a midfielder which includes a growing portfolio of stunning free-kicks.



Toure was also the only African representative on the 23-man shortlist for FIFA's World Player of the Year award and he was also chosen by supporters in the Premier League's Team of 2013.

In addition, the man from Bouaké was joined by Vincent Kompany as one of only two Premier League players to be named in L'equipe's 2013 World XI.

In 2013, Yaya also helped his nation qualify for World Cup 2014, playing in both legs of the Elephants' play-off triumph over Senegal.

Everyone at the club would like to congratulate Yaya on his fantastic achievement.

Nigh on defecated in my dung hamper! Sky Breaking News - Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure...

I was certain he was injured and out for a considerable period of time after his ankle scare last night. What a relief.

Great accolade for the big man. Well done and well deserved Yaya.

Any update about his injury ?

 

[citymad]

Looked like he tweaked the left side of his back going for a tackle late on. Once you've done that it stiffens up pretty quickly and its hard to move well. Hopefully its just muscular.

I think he was looking for an excuse to get out of that game, it was fast paced and newcastle were feeding off the crowd. Yaya looked knackered and was probably going to be a passenger.

Agreed, pace of the game much to fast for him.

He's never done anything like that before so why would he start now? Stop writing shit about a world class player who genuinely got injured

 

[dctid]

MP said he had been struggling with his back this week and he also picked up a calf injury

 

[kunaguero10]

he's shown that he's human this week, starting on the bench, getting subbed off, picking up injuries what next!
