Is Yaya Touré a Manchester City Legend?

Рет қаралды 230,270

Күн бұрын

Yaya Touré is undoubtedly one the most important players in Manchester City's history. A key figure in their meteoric rise to the top of European football in recent years.
Despite this, while his former teammates and fellow City legends are rightly being honored with statues, it seems Yaya is being left out.
But why is that? Does Yaya Touré deserve a statue? How Good was he really?

Ya Ya will always be loved by city fans, two moments that will always live in my memory among many, many other fantastic moments were the goal against the swampdwellers at Wembley in the FA cup semi final..... Magic moment that lives in my memory just below the Aguerooo moment and the goals in the away game at Newcastle that virtually guaranteed the Premier league title....... The brilliant runs with the ball while opponents struggled to stop him, the amazing shots from outside the area, the man was pure quality and the "cake" quote from his agent will never change our love for him and kolo......

@jamiemckell34 2 жыл бұрын

Over a 3 season period (let's call it a prime period) Yaya is one of the best players of all time. He had the physicality and awareness to be a world class CDM, the game intelligence and vision to be a world class playmaker, the lungs, speed and power to be a world class Box to Box midfielder, and the technique and quality of a world class number 10... All at the same time rolled into one package. He was probably the best CDM, B2B midfielders and stacking midfielder in the world all at the same time at one stage. His peak seasons are probably the highest level of any midfielder in prem history. As Clichy said, Yaya was put where he needed to be and got the job done. He literally dragged city through games, smashing in wonder goals, sprinting, barging and dribbling through opponents teams to score crucial goals at crucial times. He was like Roy Keane, Vieira & Gerrard wrapped into one package with higher level technique to spare. Onnthe pitch he had the mentality, the courage, the skill and the decisiveness. If I could pick a team of 11 to play one season for me in the Prem (or any league) I would suggest Yaya is above greats like Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes etc.

@jamiemckell34 2 жыл бұрын

@DaBabySmokesWeedAndJimmySavilleSmokesBudWithMyNan He was, he had the dynamism and attacking influence like prime Gerrard. Different to Scholes, but I would say Man City would have missed Yaya more than Man. Utd missed Scholes. Yaya literally dragged them through games. He would go back, win possesion, carry the ball upfield, dribble, bustle and lay a pass in the final third, win a foul or get a shot away. He was way more dominant on the field than Scholes or Gerrard.

I'm a Man City fan and probably the main reason of why I became a fan of them was because of Yaya Toure, and Kun Agüero. I feel like even to this day he's still a bit underappreciated and underrated. Of course he's a City legend and he's still very respected and loved among the fans, but unfortunately I feel like he won't get a statue, at least for now unless some things change.

Toure was amazing. In Fifa i would have him playing behind my two strikers every time. Strong and can tackle also had a shot in him. Wish there was a legend mode in fifa
