Incidentally I agree wholeheartedly we will miss Yaya when at ACN.

I love this thread, and look forward to reading it for many years to come.

Seems like it's already been going that long.

I think we should blame the OP.

Are u guys fucking insane? Yaya Toure is the Xavi of City. He is head of the premier league in passes completed and passes per game. U guys need to check some stats out before you come at Yaya like that. He is a legend in the making. One of the best player on our roster.

if you plan on gaining any credibility around here two things spring to mind 1) don't use the word roster when referring to the squad 2) read the thread fully and check dates carefully.

Welcome to the site :)

On topic, Yaya can be excellent one minute and the next dogshit, getting it more of the 1st and less of the second is key, i will give him one thing when hes in the mood hes unstoppable!

I hope he doesn't read this site, or at least this thread.

It is funny how some players divide opinions and others don't tho. Gaz baz and yaya are often singled out on here, yet NDJ is pretty much revered.

I'm not saying NDJ should be picked on either, just find it odd

hahaha good stirring. He is never dogshit as you put it although of course he isnt perfect all the time. Superb last night when he was given the licence again to attack after being asked to play deeper for basically all the season.

Exactly. Calling him sometimes dogshit makes it seem like he can be the worst player on the field, which isn't the case at all. No one is perfect (even De Jong and Kompany mess up occasionally), but it only seems to be Yaya who generates so much hate.

It's funny how some City fans seem to be the only people in the world who are so critical of such a vital player to us. He is revered around the globe as world class, consistently demonstrates it in games, is one of the 1st names on the team sheet, ups his game when it really matters - yet a few City fans still see him as a lethargic liability. It boggles the mind and is reflects very badly our appreciation of the immense talent that City currently have.

He's popular in the locker room, too.

[getdressedmctavish]

A lot more in the last 6 games or so. Amazingly quick feet for his second on Weds

[zuricity]

This thread should never be allowed to die as long as Yaya is playing football. The site can then convert it to a pdf , or a book and sell it as a realtime assistant reference text about Yaya's life and time since joining us. It has everything you could ever want in a story. Ie the official mancityfans.netYaya Toure Biography.

It's just a shame King Kev didn't take a leaf out of Bob Dylans classic , by starting the thread with

"Once upon a time"...... "there was Yaya toure...."

Still at least he can retro- edit .....

[bigblue]

He jumps like a fish to smash the winning goal after being fouled by Barton all day

[King Kev]

And he won us the FA Cup...

Good point!

[sandman]

Because I can see no reason at all why he continues to get picked or how he manages to stay on the pitch for 90 minutes whilst contributing fuck all to the team.

I Yaya has made a massive transformation since the original post.

I Yaya has made a massive transformation since the original post.

I dub agree

This threads definitely in it for the long run LOL

The more I see of this thread the happier I will be. Yaya is world class.

Seriously quick feet for bloke his size, the goal v Villreal even the fuclin camera can't pick up how he dodged the defenders leg and kept the ball on his foot. Today he did a similar lift of his leg to skip a sliding tackle and just carries on his stride.

I conclude that he has the power to make his legs disappear and reappear.. but only once per game.
