Yaya Touré put forward to oil Cesc Fàbregas deal
Yaya Touré has been offered to Arsenal as a makeweight to break the deadlock for Cesc Fàbregas’s desired move to Barcelona.
The Ivory Coast midfield player’s proposed transfer to Manchester City appeared to have fallen through last night over his wage demands and his agent was trying to negotiate a deal with Arsenal.

bear in mind that five days ago Yaya's agent
claimed that he already signed a contract with a premiership side. oh god what is going on at camp nou now i don't know what to believe anymore
edit: i think we all know this is a terrible offering. (yaya's salary demands are ridiculous for a holding midfielder whose name isn't claude makelele and arsene's 4-3-3 system already has alex song as a rudder) but i guess barca is finally realizing this isn't rustling cattle you can't just show up in the middle of the night and shove him into a van
