Agreed, he'll be the main fixture in an ever changing midfield this season I reckon.

Gave Balotelli and Ade a massive smack to their heads after the goal as well, must have been like being clubbed by a bear!

The guy is top, MVF (23 rip) with more creativity! His mobility is awesome, I reckon he must do 11 or 12Km a game.

Could've topped it off with a goal and was very unlucky.


I have a feeling barca wont be the same team without him, i rate him that highly.

I think a few defenders are going to be cacking themselves this season when he has them in his sights.

I knew he was good but every time I see him I am more impressed. He must over 10 miles a game, is is always near the ball. His range of passing is also phenomenal and hes an absolute monster.

It gets banded around a lot but the guy is world class, without a doubt.

Excellent. Always seems to be aware of where his team mates are too.

Will be at the heart of everything that is good about the team this year I think.

He will be the driving force to counter attacks when we are under pressure from the opposition.

Hopefully with Yaya and Milner bossing the midfield in the coming weeks Tevez can be ordered to stay up top and wait to receive the ball rather than playing alongside Yaya in midfield.

Wait til all these knobs in the press who think he's just a holding midfielder see him run through the middle of their beloved teams.

Think Carlito will always do that, doesn't seem like a 'last man' striker, likes to pick the ball up and run at defenders with it.

In Yaya and Milner we have two very genuine box-to-box midfielders.

last column is exactly what I'm hoping will happen. Yaya and Milner should be a good combo.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Seems the complete package to me.
A total midfielder.
Theres nothing that he is supposed to be able to do that he cant.
For me he is the best signing we have made.
Last nights goal was a "playmakers" pass form him to Ade who set up Mario.I'm sure there will be a lot more of that through the season.

Yaya will be immense when he gets the hang of the PL. Was a world class player of course until he joined City. Then he became a Barcelona reserve not worth the money.
