why yaya would want to leave the club that will pay him more than any other club, where he's winning things and playing the best football of his career is beyond me.

if he wants to go back to a club that didn't want him, and now with a poisonous board room, he can leave really. barca can pay the price. he signed a 4 year deal and we should not offer him another one. no one should be bigger than the team.

maybe for once in his career yaya should stand up for himself and make his own decision, instead of letting this rambling lunatic make them for him.

Pretty sure the person who wrote the first two tweets is different from the person who wrote the last two. Different punctuation etc.

But if he had a problem with what was written he could easily have resolved it by now. So I'll presume he doesnt have a problem with it.

Yep. A year or two earlier than I would like us to address the "what will we do when Yaya goes" question. But I'd do some sort of exchange for Fabregas I found Yaya does want to leave. Fernando, Fernandinho and Fabregas is a pretty good central three.

since he started the whole move forward thing, we cannot deny that it leave a hole on the counter, and he's never worked hard enough going the other one. undeniable. what's the first things that are likely to go? his legs. that explosive speed, the power generated through the legs/hips, it's slowly going to go. or it could go quickly. that's the prospect that we are facing now. if anyone offered 25-30 mil and a suitable swap deal, honestly i'd bite their hand off. this yearly stuff is not worth the hassle.

On the other hand, he did almost single handedly win you the league.

20+ goal midfielder will be bloody hard to replace.

He'll need to be replaced in a couple of season's time anyway so City might as well cash in on him now if a suitable offer comes in. He has broken down with injuries and that's only going to increase as he ages. If he wasn't prone to injures you'd want to keep him playing for as long as possible.

that he did.

but that was also last season. we have to have plans in place if/when this did occur. it's not like this is the first time this has happened.

i trust txiki and the gang will make the right decision. 30 mil or a suitable swap for a 31 year old is difficult to turn down.

Aguero keeps breaking down, do you sell him?

How old is Aguero btw?

Maybe it's because I support a smaller club but don't you want to hold on to amazing talent for as long as possible? Even if City keep him for another season and his value drops by 10 mil, are City going to miss that 10 mil?

the difference is that kun hasn't put himself in this situation for the second season running.

it's easier for us to replace him than a leicester. that's not meant as disrespectful, but we can just go out and buy someone of a similar standard. yaya for a, say fabregas, vidal or pogba isn't that big of a deal.

Some ridiculous hits.

I don't know how Suarez scored a header from the edge of the box.
Only happened because Cissokho's cross was that awful it ended up going to the edge of the 18 yard box. He was actually trying to cross to the back post. Shitness helps you in rare occasions like that :)

Yeah valid point I guess. I'd have Yaya above those three but it wouldn't be to big a loss to replace him with one of those guys

At least I'm not Bobby Madley
Mauro Zarate's brother / agent reckons we're signing him.

Top scorer for Velez in the Argentinian League last season, but fell out with team-mates / management which is usually the way for him.

Also, I'd expect Morrison to definitely be on his way out after the Fat Sam news yesterday. If he's after regular first team football in the EPL, I'd say maybe Newcastle or Swansea would be his best chances of that.

I wouldn't put it past Barcelona to offer 30 million + Fabregas for Yaya. Sucks for Fabregas that obviously his Barca DNA isn't as strong as Yaya.
