I have just had it on good authority that Yaya Tour

Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:00 pm

I have just had it on good authority that Yaya Toure's support team have made his availability known to the Cardiff City backroom staff.

The player is ready to help and his big pals with Sol Bamba.

If that’s true, we should bring him in. Would be a brilliant addition.

But a lot would depend on how much money he’d want.

What a signing he would be

Him and if we could wangle a deal for Cahill plus another right back - I think we would stay up and be able to build off that. There are quality players available that will strengthen us.

firstly the guy doesnt need the money hes been on mega wages for years ,he could be looking for a short term deal till the end of the season if so thats worth a punt especially if his agents are pushing him to lower clubs .

Hes just quit Panathaniokos so a free agent happy to help a club where he will play games and not be on the bench..cant see it happening but if it did think of the boost he would give the team,the fans etc he can dominate the midfield .

I feel sorry for Sala if this happened. Record signing buzz to be squashed by this :lol:

Would be an absolutely cracker of a signing, arter camarasa and Yaya. Decent defender and I reckon we’d pick up points needed. As long as can stay relatively injury free.

I'd buy another shirt just to get his name on it :D :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :mrgreen: :laughing6:

I guess the pertinent question is ... after being made aware of his interest ... is Neil interested in return?!

Would be the clubs biggest signing ever IMO

Must admit I like Barcelona :oops: to be fair I went to the Barca v PSG game in 2016 when they smashed to qualify to the quarters. :D

if interest is there from their camp then surely we should be chasing it up. our midfield would be complete with him, arter and camarasa with gunnarason as backup. yaya bloody toure, WANTS to come to us!

IF true I'm quite proud that someone of his fibre wants to play for us. Not bad for the "worst" team in the premier league. :D :bluebird:

Would score a fair few free-kicks that's for sure

I'm sorry but I think he would be a terrible signing. His legs went a few seasons ago, he can't get around the pitch anymore and I think he would be a passenger in midfield.

I think I agree with you. Way past his best and I remember the expectations some had when we signed Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and that excitement was short lived.

Great player but contract got ripped up after 4 months at olympiacos, would struggle to get around the pitch now

A post to get hits I think

Absolutely correct 5 years past his best..would be an expensive flop
