Yaya Toure to Milan?

I don't disagree we do need some new blood in the team but Ya Ya is still world class if played in the correct way (3 on the middle) I know he can't go on forever but to write him off after one off season is crazy. 10 league goals from midfield is a great return for a so called poor season .Ya Ya has played a lot of game like I said in my last post and should be rested more .Some of the he's lazy comments are annoying considering how much quality passing he beings

Don't remember him slagging off the support or perhaps I missed that.

He slagged off the club in the most disgusting manner possible. To me its the same as slagging off the supporters.

How has he slagged off the club?

He said it was City's fault that he was not able to see his brother before he died.

I'm not sure how true that is but mate he did lose his little brother so who knows what has gone on

Its true. He did it publicly and in writing. Its also pretty easy to show it was a lie.

If he stays (which I hope he does) then Pellegrini needs to change his system to suit Yaya in a forward position. If Pellegrini can't then he's not a great manager.

IMO we need 2 hyperactive confident battlers in the center. Fernandinho plus another but who the other is I can't imagine. Not Yaya and not Pogba from what I've seen.

Sorry, just playing around with embedding :P. Figured I would take this from a previous page.

Here is the story with quotes from Yaya. After the FOUR day post season tour he spent 10 days in Qatar on holiday before going to Ivory Coast camp. Could have seen his brother any time in that week and a half.

Yaya Toure has attacked Manchester City by saying the club's post-season tour to Abu Dhabi denied him the chance to spend time with his dying brother.

Ibrahim Toure died last week in Manchester aged 28 after a battle with cancer.

And Toure says the Blues schedule denied him the chance to spend time at his sibling's bedside, instead pressing him to fly to Abu Dhabi for Premier League title celebrations.

In a column penned for France Football magazine, Toure wrote: "I confess that I am still very sad. I'm suffering because I feel I have done nothing useful for him the last few weeks.

"At the end of the season, I wanted to stay for four or five days with my brother before I flew to prepare for the World Cup with Ivory Coast.

"Except that City did not want to give me a few days.

"I went to celebrate the title championship in Abu Dhabi while my brother was in his sickbed. By fortune, Kolo was at his bedside."

However, it is understood Toure did not specifically ask for compassionate leave.

Toure added: "After that I blame myself for not insisting and for not leading them to respect me.

"However, club officials knew that I had been suffering for a few months seeing the health of my brother decline.

"This is the reason I had several injuries at the end of the season. Because my head had taken control of my body.

"These last four months have probably been the hardest in my life.

"I have had sporting success, except that when you get home and you find yourself facing the distress of someone you love, but you do not know how you can help, it's not good."

Toure and City were at loggerheads at the end of the season after his agent claimed the club did not respect him.

City do have a fine track record of player care.

In 2010 the Blues gave Carlos Tevez compassionate leave to spend time with his premature baby.

In the same year Emmanuel Adebayor was told he could have as much time off as he wanted in the aftermath of an incident at the African Cup of Nations, when the bus he was on came under gun fire.

In 2011 Pablo Zabaleta was granted time off to be with his father after a car crash.

No we just need defensive discipline and organization. No need for "hyperactive" players.

How do you know it was a lie?

Because he spent 10 days on holiday getting tapped up in Qatar. If he really cared about seeing his brother he would have done it then.
