Yaya Toure

[La Furia]

Biscuits didn't really improve that much last season IMO, it was the year before that when he exploded. He was good more often than not but his strengths and weaknesses are exactly the same as they were in 2009.

I'm not enough of a blind Yaya fanboy to think that Yaya was anywhere near as valuable as Biscuits last year, but I think some of you guys overrate his ceiling. He's skilled but he relies a lot on his mental approach to the game, but that mental approach also creates some of his moments of madness.

Who knows though, he could be pulling a Vicky where he get mentally stronger slowly every year.

Yaya > Busquets

Which is all that really matters.

I reckon you'll buy someone to replace Busquets next season anyway.

yeah we all know that but i think most of us are in denial.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Well, its done. Best of luck to the big man. Now, lets use some of that cash to bring in some quality signings.

pep's comments on ssn tell the real story.

he never froze yaya out, and never wanted yaya to leave. he thanked him immensely for what he gave to barca and said the 7 trophies in 2 seasons would not have been possible without him. dude was upset that yaya wanted to leave, because that makes it impossible to keep him.

your beloved yaya forced the move.

he wanted to leave.

how does that taste, yayaistas?

Well, im dissolving the Stoke-on-Trent Yayaista chapter, thats for sure.

Well spotted Furia. Sergi stayed on the same level as the season before. He is good though but hardly a DM to rely on at all times.
Now that Yaya is gone and there's no scapegoat for Peek-a-boo fanboys let's see where they direct their histeric blaming to. I'm guessing Rafa, that is if he ever enters the pitch.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Rafa won't be at Barca next season.

 

[Barcaman]

Well then, I'm sure we'll be surprised. If I had to bet I would pick Abidal. He is foreigner and is black. So in short; a most probable scapegoat.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

No I picked on him a couple of seasons ago. Iba is in pole position at the moment.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Yip, Ibra will take that mantle. Im hoping Rafa isnt in the first 11 enough to take that position

 

[Gnegneri]

But then Bojan has to name himself. xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Don't rule out Chyg if he gets a chance that is.

Anyway I'm upset to see Yaya go, but he wanted it so we just need to move on. I hope we sign another DM if Rafa's leaving because Biscuits isn't going to stop collecting cards anytime soon.

I just hate how Rosell keeps talking about Cesc when we have a more important 6'3" hole we need to fill.

100%.

but cmon, laporta kicked things off with cesc.

I don't just blame Rosell, it's the entire club's fetish with him.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

I don't just blame Rosell, it's the entire club's fetish with him.

I think you have a point there. Lets hope that we dont waste an entire summer chasing Cesc and overlook other potantial signings.

 

[Plip]

Moltes gracies Yaya per els tots que has fet per el club! Bona sort!
