Yaya Toure to set to come to NYCFC?

If yaya comes to NYCFC it should definitely be as non-DP. We need that DP spot for a promising YOUNG talent that will stay and grow with the club. I read an article earlier that brought up a good point. If Yaya comes and turns out to be another pirlo who is just worthless on defense and gets benched, will he take it with class? Pirlo is world class and accepted his benching with that class. I tend to agree with the article that Yaya probably wouldn't.

Daily Mail headline, August 2018:

“Yaya Toure refuses to play for the New York City FC because Patrick Vieira didn’t bring him a cronut after Yaya’s goal against the Galaxy”

Anybody watching Citeh / Feyenoord? Half time now.

Watching Yaya jog around is painful, but that's always been the case. He's always looked like he's limping or has one leg shorter than the other.

Apart from that he's made one crucial and rather athletic defensive intervention, one run through the center that reminded me of the Yaya of old, and about a bajillion sidewards passes after drawing a few Feyenoord defenders in, which is about as you'd expect for a D mid.
 

I mean he is one of the dirtier agents in world football, but I’d have to assume he’s telling the truth here. Not sure why Yaya would want to leave City at this point considering the amount of trophies they could win. I’m sure Yaya wants his name mentioned in those record books and to be apart of any possible celebrations.

Going to be frustrating holding a roster spot and money for him to show up in the middle of our season
 
Do we even know what Reyna makes? Who makes more? Him or Patricof?

I'd like to think Patricof is making minimum wage plus expenses and will get a $20M bonus after we break ground on a stadium.
Will not believe we are ever getting a stadium until I see a shovel in the damn ground.
