Yaya Touré is the most repeated name at Inter’s mercato at the moment. Gazzetta dello sport reports that it’s known that Mancini and Touré keep contact and are talking continously. Inter hasn’t yet came with an official offer to City. When Inter has made an offer and Yaya Touré definately decides that he wants to reunite with Mancini, the real negotiations will start.

I do believe that toure is willing to cut his wage to play for us. But I think the real issue is man city here. I dont think they will let him go so cheaply, and I think they will prefer to use him as a tool to get pogba.. that”s why it’s better if we can wrap up this deal quickly
If Manchester City really want at least 15 million and Yaya Toure looking for 4 years contract with at least 5 million euros! I would say, why we instead won’t trying for Kondogbia, who’s 22 and won’t be much more expensive?
we need to buy champions who are experienced. yaya can mentor our other midfielders . we’ve been missing someone like that ever since cambiasso lift
Look, i don’t wanna argue or start a discussion! Everyone have his own opinion and his vision! What can i say about those statistics, is that you can bet that Yaya’s statistics when he was 22, it was worse than Kondogbia now. Other thing is that from now Yaya will only goes down, believe me and in City he plays more as a attacking midfielder, but Kondogbia in Monaco is more like central midfielder. In my opinion to buy such a old and expensive player like Yaya Toure, you must to have almost ready team who needs one or two grwat players to reaching highest level. And that’s no the case with us, believe me. With or without Yaya next season, with or without some other proven players like Thiago Motta we can’t compete for Squdetto, even for Champions League spot will be extremely difficult. And we don’t have to rush and set impossible targets, if we won’t to ruin another season. You need to build good basis if you want stable, long term results, not only accidental outbursts.
well to be honest .a team like udinese,monaco don’t sit as high up the pitch as us . we have the loins share of possession they dont . as for kondogbia & allan it’s fine having good tackling and such but how good are they when the ball is on there feet ? being a good passer and being creative is more important in mancini’s system than how many tackles you win . if ur looking for replacements for yaya toure i would for someone like “ever banega”,dani parejo” not kondogbia . i do think yaya can offer something in the next two years and starts to decline after it . we need a good mixture of young blood and experienced players , don’t you think playing someone like kovacic and brozovicc next to yaya will improve them ? i’m all for it as long as it’s the right mixture . 🙂 to me the positives outweigh the negatives
This is the best we can get now (age):
————————Cech (32)———————–
Darmian (25) Ranocchia (27) Vidic (33) Santon (24)
————————Allan (24)———————–
————–Yaya Toure (32) Kovacic (21)————
———-Shaqiri (23) Icardi (22) Jovetic (25)———
This squads will make me happy! Look at the 3 forwards, we should have one of the strongest attacks in the league!
————————begovic(27)———————–

————–Yaya Toure (32) Kovacic (21)————
————————shaqiri (23)———————–
—————–Icardi (22) Jovetic (25)———
this one is more realistic and better in my opinion
————————– Perrin(22) ————————
