Yaya has had an absolutely amazing season statistically and barring a Gerrard style slip up should have his 2nd PL medal this weekend. Arguably the GOAT season for a CM in terms of dominance topped off with a PL title,being the Driving force behind two PL titles is a solid achievement and then you consider just how dominating he has been since he came to England(bar last season where all of City looked like a joke).

I think most would agree that Scholes is the undisputed number 1 CM with Keane and Vieira finishing the top 3 with Gerrard and Lampard floating around there due to preference too. Could Yaya leapfrog Gerrard or Lampard into the top 5? I personally feel he may of joined the league too late to match them in terms of longevity, but in terms of dominance he is probably a title(after this one) and CL run away from matching them honestly. I have never feared Gerrard or Lampard as much as Yaya Toure. They are obviously great players, but Toure is just a ridiculous mix of strength,pace and technique and I think many fans may well feel that way too in terms of the fear factor. The only thing he needs now is to at least do it for a couple more years. Obviously you could feel Gerrard and Lampard are top 3 themselves so he would overtake someone else, but either way do we think he could be top 5 in the PL Era?


Let's have our debate and this may well turn into a what is the order of the top 5 debate too lol
