Yaya - Worth a punt?

[Red Astaire]

So then it seems Yaya has been given the boot at City. Apparently he can go in January. Some sort of shit storm surrounding his agent etc. Anyhoo I'd have him here. His brother loves us so I can imagine he would talk us up as a potential place to be. I can imagine his wages would be an issue but he can be sure someone would sort him out with a scouse birthday cake at the least.

He has to be an upgrade on Lucas right?

 

[manwithnoname]

Fuck no.

 

[MomoWASright]

Like Klopp would put up with his gentle jogging around the pitch.

 

[cloggypop]

No

 

[Hansern]

Hell no!

Yes, I recall describing him once as "an old, confused overweight bear, half-heartedly sniffing out a picnic, after eating a picnic"

That was a choice post.

 

[Glen C]

Fuck no, he's finished at the highest level. Doesn't have the legs to do the running we'd require.

 

[doctor_mac]

Signing Yaya, even on a free, would approach Balliotelli-esque levels of folly.

 

[Woland]

It would approach Barabbas-esque levels of folly.

 

[Red Astaire]

Haha! I guess that's a NO then! 😀

 

[Kay Age El]

Nay to the Yay

One of the things that Klopp seems to instil in his players is that they are absolutely subordinate to the team ethic. I think Lovren's turnaround was partly do do with converting him from a puffed up peacock of a player into a much more humble and dedicated version of himself. It is perhaps only Studge who hasn't quite come around to the Klopp ethos, though perhaps he is edging there. Apart from his clear physical issues in respect of question marks over his ability to tirelessly hunt the ball back time and again, he has the most inflated ego in football –Zlatan levels of ego, though lacking the hint of amusing pantomime actor performativity that I'd argue Zlatan possesses. As Woland said in another thread he has an ego the size of Jupiter. He'd be poison.

 

[The Nomad]

No - We have a younger version ready to step up. Ovie Ejaria.

 

[Hyena]

Ejaria is a cunt too???

 

[Modo]

I kinda like Yaya but he's all about the money right now.

 

[The Nomad]

Dunno.. He might be.. Does he have Aidy Ward as an agent? Thats the acid test.

 

[6TimesaRed]

He eats too much Cake.. The plodder..

 

[Red Bird]

Yes, I recall describing him once as "an old, confused overweight bear, half-heartedly sniffing out a picnic, after eating a picnic"

That has made my day!

 

[Red Astaire]

When I said I'd take him on the OP I really didn't mean it. I was just testing you all. Thankfully you've all passed with flying colours 😛

Polar opposite to his brother?

 

[The Slugmonster]

Not a chance.

 

[Insignificance]

He has a stinking attitude thinking the Whole world including the Club putting a million pound a month in his Pocket treath him bad. Did the same in Barca by the way. He should move a cross town and jog around With Rooney and Fellaini in Central Mid. Fellaini would be mistaken for Messi.

Can we downgrade RA's status for even suggesting such a thing? Withdraw 20% of his likes?

Yes. To use Brendan's analogy, he's a polar bear.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mourinho signs him for Utd. Chance to piss off Pep and secondly he loves to prove a point esp players with grudges. First Zlatan and Pep now Yaya maybe?

That would be fucking perfect.
