Im actually quite shocked at Yaya not being in most peoples top 5 . the mans a legend ..... already !
I am a bit biased but Yaya to me is the best player in the world not named Messi or Ronaldo, in my opinion.
Not to far of the mark, Yaya can play anywhere and make it look easy, it's only when he's making those lungbusting runs and needs to recover makes him look lazy in some eyes, but not mine. He could play the holding role or the quick neat passing role without breaking sweat, he did it a few times last year and had over 100 passes with 95% complete! But it's the forward runs that sets him apart from anybody else. We see Messi and Ronaldo do a bit of defensive work, but more of a token gesture than anything else. Yaya is a M/F player that does that first and then just explodes forward.
