Matterz 67 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 What's most surprising reading through that thread is that many of them actually WANT to get rid of him! That's insane to me. I figured he was like Hazard is to us; unsellable.I saw some of them yesterday saying "if we can get £25-30m for him then fuck him off." I'd happily see us pay £40m for him! He'd be an enormous loss for them and frankly irreplaceable. There's no like for like replacement for Yaya.We already have the like for like replacement for Yaya.....Matic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matterz 67 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Really don't see us even batting an eyelid at all of this, Yaya is a great player, one of the best in the world, however we seem to be focusing on recruiting young talent these days eg. van Ginkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Unless he puts on significant weight and just gets fat I think Yaya will be one of those players who can play until his late 30's. His game doesn't rely on pace and he's such a physical freak that I don't see his game deteriorating much anytime soon.As long as he has a workhorse next to him who does the defensive side of the game he'll continue to be a monster in my opinion. Maybe not 20+ goals good but still an elite player.Yaya's game does rely on pace and power, as you said he is a physical freak, i very much doubt in two or three years time he'll be able to consistently run from box to box. Players who normally play until their late 30's are the ones who rely more on their technical ability rather than physical traits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Doubt it, Matic probably isn't given as much freedom to go forward like Toure is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Fucking mug crying over his birthday. Is he 31 or 1? He's a muppet and if City bend to his will and give him a bigger contract, they are also muppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 He's 31 and on big wages, obviously he's one of their best players but how long will he be able to keep up that form? no way will anyone pay £40 million for him. Man City will have to replace in him two or three years anyway so it wouldn't be the worst decision to get £25 million for him, they could buy someone like Vidal to replace him. It will also lower their wage bill, Vidal would probably be earning half of what Toure does. If he's forcing a move there is no way he would cost £40m. If he can be had for 20M.... well now... Matic and Yaya??? Even if its only for 2yrs I would LOVE to see that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Having said that I doubt he signs here with us, our club policy is anyone over the age of 30 gets one yr deals. That applied to everyone even our very own legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the league gets weak then so do all teams in it including Chelsea. One player will not change the outlook of the league. He is a fantastic player but the packages that sell the league do not feature Yaya in it... As a matter of fact if you will allow me to get on my soapbox for a minute, no black players are highly advertised in this league. Yaya is mentioned in circles but not nearly as highly as Aguero or Silva. Hell even Steven Gerrard got more consideration for player of the year! hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I hope he goes.FOr me after Cristiano the best player in the world. It's unbelievable how a CM is the third best scorer of Premier League with 20 goals, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
