Well, they got 14 first division titles to go to match Liverpool, 16 to match United. I'll be relaxed on that for now.

He needs to go regardless of who the manager is.

You don't have to match trophy count to unseat a dynasty though.

I don't know about "NEEDS" to go.

If somebody got him to agree to take a back seat and play less games (unlikely, but technically possible) he'd be worth keeping.

Yaya has plenty of faults, but he's still a world class player and I think he gets too much grief. The problem is that he's a 32 year old box to box mid being asked to play every single game for a team that plays a LOT of games. When you watch him play you can tell he knows he has to pick and choose his moments.

If he played less games I think we'd see a lot more Yaya being Yaya.

I'd expect Pep to tweak his system like he did to accommodate to Xabi at Bayern. Xabi's far from Busquets defensively but can control the tempo/pace better. I think it's up to Yaya but given his age and recent history, yeah a move could be the best for both parties.

Maybe Jose will end up at Valencia when Neville gets canned here shortly.

That job is below Jose.

Sky is reporting that Valencia have talked to Rafa about replacing Neville.
