Is Yaya Toure worth signing on a free ?

[davidmichael]

Just saw this on Sky Sports News,

http://www.skysports.com/share/11364150

With Carrick retiring and Fellaini maybe/hopefully off in the summer we may sign a couple of midfielders but with both full back positions also a priority and also maybe a right sided forward (if Martial goes) we won’t have the budget to sign two quality full backs, a quality midfielder and a right sided forward so is Yaya Toure worth signing on a free ?

 

[James Peril]

Why do you even bother, he is obviously going to MLS, China or somewhere more exotic than moving across town. He is 35 years next week, heavy, slow, not even close to being the same player anymore. Big no.

 

[Bwuk]

His legs have gone.

 

[Raw]

Definitely no. He's in decline and will ask for massive wages despite being a squad option.

 

[Skills]

Let me think, no?

 

[JJ12]

Definitely not

[iHicksy]

I'd go for him to replace Fellaini....Can be used as an attacker when we need a goal and would be happy to sit on the bench.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

No he's past it.

 

[charlenefan]

Seriously? Do people even think before they post?

 

[Nick7]

lol

@esmufc07

This is the worst suggestion for a signing I've ever heard

 

[The holy trinity 68]

The only City players I would want is to sign is KDB and David Silva and that is pushing it.

Why sign a 35 year old past it midfielder on a free from our local rivals? Especially when the club could spend £300m in one window if it wanted.

Short answer: No.

 

[JB08]

I'd definitely go for it, ideal short-term replacement for Carrick in our midfield, if only for a few years.
...not.

 

[R'hllor]

Sure, give him 5 year contract while we are at it

 

[beedoubleyou]

No.

 

[RedPed]

So let me get this straight.

Ronaldo? No thanks!
Bale? No thanks!
Rodriguez? No thanks!
Willian? No thanks!

Toure? Why not?

Ok.

 

[Van Gaalacticos]

I'm gonna say a big No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no no No Toure!!!!

 

[Robbie Boy]

Why the feck is this a thread?

 

[Van Gaalacticos]

Why the feck is this a thread?

My thoughts haha

 

[Adisa]

The most bizarre suggestion I've heard.

 

[Carl]

Absolutely not.

 

[T00lsh3d]

Haha.......no

 

[ivaldo]

NO!

 

[andyjgt1]

I'd say no, but I'd rather anything than he have a USA-born child given that Pirlo, Schweinsteiger and Ronaldo all do and the USA could potentially freeload a quality team.

 

[kidbob]

He does fit in well with the tempo of football we are looking to play to be fair.

 

[stepic]

close the thread

 

[padr81]

I reckon a straight swap for Pogba would be a great idea. You know you all want rid of him anyway....

 

[adexkola]

I would like to be able to vote for all 3 options.

 

[Robertd0803]

At least there was an option to vote cake.

 

[Stretford kev]

One word "NO"

 

[Silas]

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

The Redcafe is a special strange place.

 

[Peter van der Gea]

I reckon now that Cantona has matured and slowed up a bit, CM might be his place, plus he could play out on the right, with his creativity, he could open doors against the teams that put 10 behind the ball.

Plus, no cake...

 

[fergies coat]

No.

 

[el3mel]

Remember Bastian ? Well, he'll be worse than him.

 

[Scarecrow]

Torn between No and Cake.

 

[JPRouve]

@davidmichael I have to come clean, at this minute I want to slap you.

 

[ravi2]

Sure...lets sign bale too while we're at it

 

[haram]

Sure...lets sign bale too while we're at it

Not a great way to make your point.
