Are people for real when they say Yaya can play CB? He did it for a grand total of 3 or 4 matches? Until he does it amazingly for a whole season like Mascherano that claim is pure bullshit...

He played in CL Final, among other matches.

The biggest blunder we made is selling Yaya for just 24 million. 35 million is or should have been the right price. He is history now and Busquets is our man. As mentioned previously they are different players. Would have been nice to have both but was never gonna happen.

Yaya was sold for 30 million euros. It was close to the fair price considering he wanted to leave.

Please can people stop posting that video of Busquets when arguing about how great he is. A biased and subjective video proves little, you could make a video of Busquets missing simple passes and getting caught in possession but that wouldn't mean that he was shit.

I agree with those who say that Busquets is better for Barca's style of play but that Toure is a better overall player. Busquet's is perfect for when Barcelona are in possession in midfield but Toure is a better player defensively and is far superior in an attacking sense.

The role that Busquets plays is unique just because people don't realize it doesn't mean Yaya is a better player than Busi.

Yaya left because wanted to play as a regular in front of Busi and at that time he was right.
Anyway Ronaldo also wanted to leave ManU but they didn't let him go cheap.Yaya was at his prime had won almost everything at club level with no medical history or any behaviour issues.His price should have been at least 50m.Many will argue but FCB isn't a foundation and should stop acting like one.Toure was sold for less than his actual price so did Etoo and Ibra.

FCB also ain't a stock company and shouldn't even start to act like one. Furthermore, players have no pricetag, and in fact, they don't have market-value - this isn't some kind of slave trade.

A transfer fee is a compensation for ending a contract prematurely. The only thing that matters is: How much is the player worth to the signatories at the time of the transfer. Many factors are involved here. And considering all the circumstances at that time, 30 million for Yaya was adequate, fair and square.
