'Yaya Toure Deserves A Statue If David Silva Is Getting One' - Fans React To Man City's Gesture
~1.2 mins read
The Premier League club on Monday announced plans to honour the departing 34-year-old playmaker with a monument.
Manchester City's plan to build a statue for departing David Silva outside the Etihad Stadium has raised questions over why Yaya Toure did not get one after his exit.
Silva will be ending his 10-year stay in Manchester this summer and the club also disclosed that a training pitch with bespoke mosaic will be dedicated to the 34-year-old at the City Football Academy.
During his stint with the Citizens, the Spain international won four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and five League Cups while Toure, who left in 2018, won three Premier League trophies, one FA Cup and two League Cups.
Following City's announcement on Monday, some fans believe the Ivory Coast midfielder deserves a similar treatment as a reward for his sacrifices for the Etihad Stadium outfit.
Meanwhile, Silva and Vincent Kompany's statues will be unveiled in 2021.

Oshoala Shines As Barcelona Edge Atletico Madrid To Champions League Semi-final
~1.5 mins read
The Nigeria international was in action to help the Calatans defeat their Spanish rivals at San Mames Stadium on Friday.
Asisat Oshoala provided an assist as Barcelona advanced into the semi-final of the Uefa Women's Champions League following a 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid in Bilbao on Friday.
After an 8-1 aggregate victory over Minsk last October, the Nigeria international played a key role to help the Catalans seal their progress to the last four of the tournament.
Oshoala, who had scored 26 goals in 26 appearances this season, was
handed her fourth Champions League outing this term and made her sixth
meeting with Atletico since arriving in Spain.
Lluis Cortes' team enjoyed the bulk of possession but could not find a
breakthrough past the rock-solid defence of Atletico as both teams went
into the half-time break tied.
After the restart, Barcelona continued with their dominance but
failed to break the resistance of Dani Gonzalez's side until Oshoala's
miscued acrobatic effort fell into defensive midfielder Kheira
Hamraoui's path, and she duly grabbed the winner 10 minutes from time.
Oshoala, who was in action for 82 minutes before being replaced by
Aitana Bonmati, has now contributed an assist and a goal in five outings
for Barcelona in the competition this season.
The 26-year-old striker has now been involved in Barcelona's last
five victories against Atletico in all competitions, scoring four goals.
She will hope to help Barcelona continue in the same vein in the semi-final of the tournament on August 25 when they take on Wolfsburg, who humiliated Glasgow City 9-1.
