Yaya Toure would be happy to end his playing days at Manchester City

Yaya Toure says he would be happy to end his playing days at Manchester City and remains committed to making history with the club.

History

He added: "I am quite sure the day will come that I will be an old man and they will still go on talking about me here. "Is that why I refused to talk with Real or Chelsea last summer? Yes, because City's history is to be made now. And I thank God for that." Toure believes City have the makings of a club that can be as big as Barcelona, Real Madrid and fierce rivals Manchester United, but believes they need to find consistency, particularly in Europe after making a shaky start to their UEFA Champions League group campaign. He said: "Is Manchester City a very great club? The club is almost considered as a very great club because we have won quite a lot of things during the last couple of years. But it is more a club for the future with a lot of young players so far. "What are we missing to be like Manchester United or Barca? Consistent performances, being champions once more and asserting ourselves much more in England with other trophies. "We also have to be more consistent in the Champions League. But we have a young team. "We are not always at our top level, we have moments when we are less good, as does any club. "We have the makings of champions (and the feeling) we could be like great clubs such as Madrid or Barcelona in the future."
