OhForAGreavsie 6,095 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Your right. Yaya has better technique than essien, but I never said he didnt...However, the question is who would fit better at Chelsea? Honestly, if yaya came to chelsea, than lampard would of never been needed...SO, technically, it would of been essien and yaya, who would of beasted anyone in england... Well you did say that Essien had technique and I simply do not agree with that. He is, and was, technically very limited in my view. I do however agree that Yaya would have been a better option than Lamps but few around here would share our opinion. They would argue, among other things, that Toure would not have matched SFL's goal output but my response would be to ask, so what. Yaya, despite probably scoring fewer goals, would have made us a better team in the same way Jose recognises that Oscar makes us better than Juan Mata did, even with a much lower return in personal goals and assists.On the point of Yaya playing alongside Essien; I doubt it. Paired with a proper version of the player he was supposed to be, Essien's limitations would have been horribly exposed and no Chelsea manager could have tolerated it.

He wasnt just a ramires.Obviously, not on yaya's level, but who is? Do you really think essien was limited? Like rambo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard had 18 epl assists in 2004/05Was second to Ronaldinho in the ballon'd'or nominees. Lampard in his prime was also a monster, and was never injured. I can't believe I'm seeing people wanting to trade him for yaya this is superfrankie we are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Arrogant, lazy, old. But a good player. Nevertheless, his attitude stinks. In those two post-season friendlies in America, RLC dominated him in both games. I am in no way saying Ruben is anywhere near the player Toure was/is, but he has shown in his little cameos that he doesn't look out of place in this team. He is a hard-working, tenacious Mourinho-type player and I see no reason for him to come into the team and deny RLC his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Im probably Yaya's biggest critic here but you could see some logic in getting him. (Although im 80% sure the Express report is nothing to care about).It seems like it will be hard to get a top CM this summer, Pogba, Koke, all others, it looks like we're not getting them (and the club already knows the situation with every player, if its possible or not, fans are just guessing right now).Yaya, when he wants to play fully seriously, is still one of the best players in PL as an attacker. Not in a Double Pivot, but as the 3rd midfilder i think with the right attitude he can help any club. If Jose thinks he can get him to be hungry again, maybe for CL glory, and while we might cant get any top CM to partner Cesc and Matic, i can see why we could want him. Like a stop-gap option, while we still have Willian and Oscar off course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toure can offer 1-2 more good years and at his age he needs to be rotated alot which we can do and we can slowly intergrate rlc into team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,996 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Even if it's true that we wanted him (which I highly doubt) there's no chance they'd sell him to us. Even if they were desperate to get rid of him and he was desperate to leave they wouldn't strengthen us like that.Even if it were just for a single season we'd probably be unstoppable with a motivated Yaya. City wouldn't allow him to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supporter 3,088 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yaya Toure can be an interesting option.I remember when Jose won Champions League with Inter and he did surrounded by veteran players highly experienced but with the ambition to make it big.Yaya won the Champions League with Barcelona but he was not a star in Barcelona. So he went to City to win Champions being Star City. But he has not achieved and the trajectory of City in Champions has been a failure.The big problem Toure is a strong personality. Winner sometimes. Problematic at other times. But his personality is perfect to be directed by Jose. Even Jose Yaya Toure may cause regain its true level again.About your age, I think that despite having 32, Yaya Toure is the typical player who can have a TOP level to 36 years. He is not normal player, Toure is an extremely gifted physically. Someone far from normal. This guy may be playing four more years at TOP level. If he gets focus his mind and focus his ambition to lead a team to glory again Yaya can be a perfect player.Obviously I prefer Koke, Pogba, Verratti or Gundogan. But if the market goes crazy maybe Yaya can be a good option.By the way I remember reading Yaya saying he wanted to be coached by Jose Mourinho.Regards.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 We're already in shock moves for Dzeko and Yaya now. Tomorrow I bet we're in shock move for Bale and Messi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
