Manchester City Forums

Welcome to the club Yaya.

Manchester City have secured the signing of Yaya Toure on a five-year deal from Barcelona.
The Ivory Coast international midfielder returned from World Cup duty on Monday following the African side’s exit from the tournament.

Toure has completed a medical with City physios in Spain and also finalised the details of his switch from the Spanish Champions.

The 28-year-old is one of the World’s most coveted midfield players. Signed in the summer of 2007, Toure has since enjoyed a decorated three-year spell at the Nou Camp. He picked up a Champions League winner’s medal in 2009, when he played in the 1-0 final victory over Manchester United. He was also a regular in Barca’s 2008/09 and 2009/10 La Liga title winning sides.

Coming off the back of Wednesday’s announcement of the signing of Valencia forward David Silva, manager Roberto Mancini was delighted to also secure the services of Toure. He said: “This is another fantastic signing for Manchester City, and I am very pleased Yaya has joined us, he is a very good player.

“Everyone knows Yaya is a player that we have admired for a long time, and we would like to welcome him to Manchester City. He has played at the top level with Barcelona and I am sure he his experience and ability will be very important for us.”

He will now enjoy a three-week holiday following Ivory Coast’s exit from the World Cup, before joining up with his new team-mates, including elder brother Kolo, for the forthcoming tour to the United States of America.

Welcome to city Yaya lad, may it be a happy and successful stay.

Great news, just need a LB and maybe a new striker and I can see us having a seriously good season.

One thing I don't understand is why we rushed into giving Viera a new contract if this has been in the pipeline for so long.

He's 27, and only just. Shit / lazy journalism that.

It's totally deflated this acquisition, misinforming the public of his age, a blatant lie like this. I don't know that as a club we can recover. As a player, how would you feel about this? people should be sacked or at the very least an inquiry.

Got to agree this is a great signing. My word we have a team now. If we can acquire/make one of our current left backs work, we'll be a force.
