Yaya Toure

[IanMcL]

He doesn't need the money. Has a settled, private home life. We are a club, in the Prem and close by. We are in Europe. What's not to like?

[boatshed bill]

On a free transfer, so even at 200k a week would be cheaper for us than Hendrick over two seasons.

We shouldn't even think about it.
Our tested formula of bringing in players with the potential to develop has to be the way.

[DCWat]

If he’s keen to stay where is, keep playing top level football and would be prepared to drop within our salary structure (a few ifs there but none beyond the realms of possibility) he’d be an amazing signing, we would be mad not to enquire about the possibility.

Did you know that there is a player called Banana Yaya? Fantastic name. Let's sign him.

The shop would forget to order the 'A's!

[piston broke]

He'd improve all the players around him but I don't expect it happening.

Bnn Yy it is then! Sounds Welsh

[BennyD]

Built like a wheely bin and, these days, moves like one. However, if SD wants him, he would be a great signing.

[charlyt]

Maybe his name is being bandied about to make other maybe more realistic targets aware of our ambition for the task ahead ?

If we signed Yaya Toure on 150k for 2 years thats 15,600,000. we signed Kevin Long in 2010. Assuming he's been on 30k average since then that's 30*9*52 = £14,040,000. Adjusting for inflation approx £20 million. No brainer for me. Get that cash ready Mr Garlic.

Long won't have earned anything remotely close to that.

So we should completely blow our wage cap and double it for 1 player, really? I think he'd be an amazing signing but £8M a year is a fortune to be paying in the Championship to 1 player (if we were relegated with him next year).

Top idea to be honest, some saying he’s past it and wouldn’t turn up for a side like Burnley, but that’s what they said about Joey Barton and he’s a club legend now. I say let’s go for it, Dyche will sort him.

OK. £40k tops, plus a bit of bonus if he contributes to us staying up. Any good?

Kevin Long has earned 14mill since he's been with us

[boatshed bill]

Kevin Long has earned 14mill since he's been with us

I very much doubt it.

[Rumbletonk]

Worst calculation I've seen for some time

[paulus the woodgnome]

We'd need to factor in the cost of extravagant birthday cakes.

[IanMcL]

...and Twix.

[JPS71]

No birthday cake he gets an omelette the same as everyone else

Steveharper's perm. Two attacks on me in two days. Does this mean that I'm not on your Christmas card list this year?

[ontario claret]

And I hope you're not THE Stephen Harper (our ex-prime minister).

Not really an attack just disagreeing with your opinion.

Yep the famous Canadian permed PM.
