Manchester City legend Shaun Goater insists they can survive the sale of Yaya Toure.
Goater insists there is life after Toure if the Ivorian departs.
"He came to the club and did what it said on the tin," he told the Manchester Evening News. "He's raised us to a level and produced a phenomenal level.
"What we can't see is that time moves on and moves on for everyone. We probably can't see a future without Yaya like we can't see a future without Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany - but eventually there will be."
