Compared to Laporta he looks bloody huge!

For some weird reason Yaya has decided to have "Toure Yaya" on his shirt. I guessed right tho and he'll take Van Bommel's old 17. Yaya is Barca's first player from the Ivory Coast and Txiki desribed him as "more of a Vieira than a Baptista", which I should bloody well hope so considering we wanted someone defensive.

Also the fee is strange. We pay £6m (9m Euros) to Monaco and Metalurg Donetsk will get money based on how Yaya does at Barca.

Yaya signs a 4 year deal and will not take up a non-Eu place as he's expected to gain his dual nationality in a few days (proabably French).
