He's a RB.

He is also cm...

He is also cm...

No he's not. He's rarely played there in his career. Usually plays right back or right mid.

no offense mate, but seriously we could have just avoided derailing the thread if we had just left it with agree to disagree.

btw, yaya toure ran 11.5 km/90 mins in CL last season - behind only Raul Meireles, Juan Mata and Michael Carrick in the PL. this year, his distance covered stats read 10.875km/game. Only few midfielders like Claudio Marchisio, Siem de Jong have better distance to game ratio than him. evidence of his work ethic right there.

I for one will refrain from criticizing Yaya for no other reason than his toying with both Mickel and Lampard last Sunday. Why on earth Ramires was not glued to Yaya inflicting maximum punishment at all times is beyond me (thanks Rafa!).

* I do get some arrogance from him on the pitch though, but most good footballers have some degree of it.

Yaya is amazing.......... Yaya > busquets..... It's ashamed that barca let him go. barca prob would of obtained more silverware with him.

Michu, such a great player. Wish we had him, and could give Torres over to the Swans. Bet Laudrup could actually get Torres scoring at least a few goals.

Yes he is a better player, but Biscuits fits their system better than Yaya

Barca are losing to bigger teams...... they are essentially getting bullied, that's how they are losing, pack the bus centrally and counter.... Barca needed yaya.... yaya is a threat everywhere.... he won city their title last year...

Yup, he single handedly won city their title...

Barca don't NEED anyone other than central defenders and a suitable replacement for Villa

You seem to forget that Barca have been without their head coach Tito for a while and have looked completely below par compared to Pep's team.

And people thought anyone could manage Barca...

Yaya Touré is an idiot. He can fuck off for all I care.

Yaya Touré is an idiot. He can fuck off for all I care.

And you know Mata didn't complain about that at all, he just got on with it.

Sums up the F.A also, they took no action on it whatsoever, they only take action when the media enforces it, as the media didn't bring this up the F.A had nothing to do with it.

Aside from all the 'big' players, I'm really sad we didn't sign Christian Eriksen. He has an immensely bright future ahead of him, and will most likely end up in Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Would also have loved to sign Okore, however he is a Chelsea fan, so who knows? He might end here sometime.

Just to top off the Danes, I'd love Viktor Fischer here at some point. 17 years old and 8 goals in the Dutch League. Not bad.

What about Kezman.

[Beepu 1,714]

Aguero for me
