Yaya says Pep "does not like African players" - Pep says "he's lying and knows it"

So basically, if you don't pick a black native born African, for whatever reason, then you're a racist?? Who the hell is going to take him on now, you'd have to play him every week or be called a racist. Personally I'd like to see him go to Brighton, then lets see what excuse he comes up with when not picked every week!
 
I think playing the race card is as bad as actually being racist. it does as much damage as racism.

Nothing of Peps selections show he is racist and I firmly believe he isnt. The news is out there though and thats what Yaya wanted, that is enough when claiming racism.
 
Personally suspect his agent has put him up to this. His agent hates Pep. Pep had all the power last season and now he wants payback.

Maybe they want to get a pay day from United and knows this will alienate our fans making it easier to join them. Tevez did similar in reverse. Sad day.
 
this kind of thing has the potential to negatively effect our fanbase in Africa for no reason whatsoever. Toure is hurting the club that gave him so much, and why?

Pep clearly mentioned publicly that if Yaya has to start, he has to improve his work-rate and fitness. I don't know why he is pulling out the colour card despite everyone knowing why he was 3rd choice behind Dinho and Gundogan. Glad we have a manager who only looks at performances and not at the star/legend value.

Yaya went to the lengths of going to the clubs staff and asking to compare his data to the other players and declaring his stats were better... I hope this is in the Prime documentary. :)

Because 'he want's to destroy the Pep myth'. That is a very strong statement which effectively equates to saying he wants to destroy Pep as a person.
I have little doubt his agent put him up to it but that is no excuse or reason for wanting to ruin a man's career or reputation.
He clearly has some very deep seated issues which would be better treated by counselling and therapy.

Did those stats include ground covered, and sprinting speed?
 
Pep bought mendy, allowed him to run amok on social media and couldn't wait to get him back. He gave delph his shot at left back . He made Fernandinho his general...smacks of racism
 
To be honest I'm shocked it's taken this long following his departure to go off and not in the least bit surprised

Looking at it dispassionately, Yaya was a GREAT player for the club and ironically without him and that original group of players Pep wouldn't be here, because we wouldn't have had that early success, in short his contribution to the club can't be overstated.

That being said, personally I never bought the agent is a dick line, if you employ someone to represent you if you are unhappy with what they are doing you fire them, it's that simple. Seeing as Yaya never did that it's clear to me he was acting in what Yaya felt was his best interests.

As for Pep it seems common-sense to me that they wouldn't see eye to eye Pep has shown him the door not once but twice through his career and looking back at his time at the club, I don't think anyone can argue that City got good value for money out of that deal and Yaya could and indeed should have played at the very highest level the vast majority of his time with us.

However, one only needs to watch a Pep team play to see that Yaya isn't a great fit, indeed I would argue if Pep had managed City in 2014 Yaya still wouldn't have been a great fit, that's not because Yaya is African it's because the skills he brings to the table aren't those Pep naturally looks for in his players and finally anyone who has seen Yaya over the last 18 months knows that he has lost a yard of pace and when the ball flows through him it slows the game down, in most teams that wouldn't be an issue, but with City and the way we attack people it's a major problem.

Lastly I want to address the African accusation, is Pep raciest, I have no idea although to be honest I would very much doubt you could be a successful manager or indeed player if you where these days, but for those that think everyone sees all black's as the same and that you couldn't be simply raciest against black Africans(or indeed any subgroup)I have news for you there are people out there that are, I have seen and heard it myself. That being said hand on heart how many of us thought Pep made the wrong choice in not renewing Yaya for another year? I bet there aren't very many of us that do.

Decent post - As I said earlier regarding why he has waited so long - I suspect he waited until all the paperwork and loyalty bonuses were paid up on 1st June before spouting this shit. That speaks volumes about the character of the man, totally disrespectful by throwing in the race card. I for one am glad the Yaya era is at an end and sadly Yaya you were simply not good enough for the final 18 months of your stay - I will watch with interest how he goes next year - if he can find a decent club to take him on.

It wasnt even a question before.
 
Doesn't surprise me - but very disappointing. One of best ever players and he does his best to ruin his legacy. Will never forget the contribution he has made to our club but he should learn to keep his mouth shut off the field.
