Man City's Yaya Toure Wants Barcelona Return

Ivory Coast international says he "wouldn't have to think twice" if Barcelona came calling for his services again

€œI would love to return to ­Barcelona and finish my career there,€ €œI love the city and have a lot of desire to return there. Two years ago, I said I would return. For me Barca was the most important team and, if they called, then I wouldn€™t have to think twice. €œIn life you never know what will happen tomorrow and Barcelona is the team of my life. €œI said I wanted to end my career there and if I could do that then it would be phenomenal.€
Toure's enthusiastic speaking of his time at Barcelona certainly won't be what Manchester City or manager Roberto Mancini wants to hear after his huge impact at the club this season. Toure went on to praise Tito Vilanova, the new boss at the Nou Camp who replaced Pep Guardiola in the manager's chair;
€œIt was a strange decision because he€™s been instrumental in Barca€™s success over the last few years,€ added Yaya. €œBut we€™re all human and, despite doing some great things, he€™s decided to leave. €œI know Tito well and I think he€™ll apply the same philosophy as Pep. He is a very good person with similar beliefs to Pep. He€™s also a very good coach.€
