Ivorian has established himself as one of the best
midfielders in the world - so why did the Blaugrana let him
go?
Transfers are a touchy subject in
Barcelona right now. However, with
the Catalans set to take on
Manchester City in the Champions
League on Tuesday night, it is nigh on
impossible to avoid thinking about the €30 million deal that saw Yaya
Toure swap Camp Nou for the Etihad in 2010.
Of course, that is solely because in the intervening four years the
Ivorian has proven himself one of the most complete midfielders in
world football. Which begs the question: why on earth did the
Blaugrana let him go?
Toure is in no doubt as to where the blame lies. When pressed on his
exit in October 2011, he made it clear that then Barca boss Pep
Guardiola had effectively forced him out.
