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

Yaya has always been an egotistical moron and this is just another example. You could tell he'd been agitating by the way Pep gave him game time when the league was won.

If he thinks he could have got anywhere near our first team last season he's utterly deluded. Pep even gave him a few games mid-season and he was atrocious, getting run past and playing pointless backwards passes.

It doesn't matter, he's been a big player and got some important goals and will always be remembered for that. But as a player or a man he's never been at the level of Silva, Aguero and Kompany.

Can't agree with that at all. Past good deeds, no matter how significant cannot excuse future behaviour. There are many historical monsters who it could be argued also did some good things, but their legacy will always be the bad things.
Calling someone a racist, so publicly, with no opportunity for reply has ruined Toure's legacy. If he had a legitimate complaint, he would have taken it to the police, PFA, club etc. He hasn't - he's chosen to make this deplorable accusation in the world's media - and no doubt been paid for it too!

I disagree. As a player, in his pomp, he was as good as anyone. As a person... Meh.

As I said earlier in the thread, you could say the same about Tevez. Great player, especially when you needed someone to step up and drive the team on, but never ever a club legend
 
Seluk has just given an interview to Russian media. Behaves like a 5-year old. 'Pep is a fraud', 'he's all about money', 'even my granny would win Bundesliga with Bayern' etc. All cliches in one piece.

He could be great but there was an element of the flat track bully about him. His best years were that first couple of seasons when he played in front of De Jong/Barry who cleared up behind him, and he was running past people for fun. But as a deep-lying midfielder he was flawed and caused us problems in the Champions League.

It doesn't matter about all the daft stuff he's been involved with, though. He' part of our history now and the great moments don't need to be forgotten.
 
Have to wonder why Toure signed an extension last year if he had such concerns about Guardiola. Or indeed why Guardiola would even offer him one if he was so against African players, especially as most of us already thought he was done at this level.

He has made himself look rather stupid. Guardiola has regularly played black players. In fact Walker, Mendy, Delph, Kompany, Sane, Sterling, Jesus and Fernandinho have all played regularly when fit this season. Debut for Nmecha as well.

If the problem is just with Africans, then I wonder why we are trying to sign Mahrez. Or indeed why Guardiola played Keita and others at previous clubs. I wonder how many other top teams have the 5 Africans that Toure seems to want playing regularly.

No, Yaya. The problem isn't Guardiola or racism. The problem is you. You're not good enough for this level any more and haven't been for a while. Your ego can't handle it, so it has to be somebody else's fault.
 
I've just read the interview in The Guardian and it is almost the carbon copy of what Zlatan or Samuel said and complained about Pep. But then, read what Clichy had to say about Pep and his experience and you realise it is all bout the player's ego and whether he is able to control it. Yaya obviously can't and his ego just took control of the interview!

It’s toure talking like it’s cruelty that he’s being left out of the team/squad when he’s left out on merit that’s what bugs me. He hasn’t been the player he thinks he is for 3 years so should pass the torch with some dignity

Which should see a move back to being able to have a few African players if so desired. Not too many clubs out there that have more than one or two at this point in time I'd say.

More than you might think, but it may be due to the recent move. Liverpool, Arsenal, Palace, Huddersfield, Newcastle, Leicester all have 3+ I think (Newcastle may be loans)

I thought it was pretty obvious in Pellegrini's final season that Yaya was done at the very top level. He arguably had a minor renaissance for a few months during Pep's first season but this last season he was absolutely terrible, he wasn't even up to short substitute appearances and looked nothing more than a passenger in the much changed league cup teams where in theory he should have been one of our strongest players. It takes a gargantuan lack of self awareness for him to not recognise that he was a million miles away from justifying a place in our first 11. I actually believe he was as important as literally any other player when it comes to us breaking into the elite level but never in a million years is he even close to being a club legend because he's repeatedly and deliberately shat all over his own legacy. If I was Pep I would be taking legal action because the African footballer stuff is a fucking disgrace.

LOL "African Shamans will stop Pep winning the CL in revenge".

fkin crackpot, hate filled, jealous...... desperate.

btw £1 pw but also bonuses
 
I don't like African players.



Sorry, scratch that, I don't like ONE African player, a player who has just had stuff named after him by his former club to cement his legacy and then comes out with crass and stupid comments like this.

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.

My thoughts,especially regarding his payments..will be interesting if Pep takes it further.
I don,t care if he to thick to realize what hes done or even if his slimmy agent put him up to it,He should no how our club treated him & us as fans.
I really hope he or his agent get there comeuppances,
 
The stupidity of these two people knows no bounds, they have become totally deluded, almost maniacal. A total character assassination of Pep and implicitly accusing the owners of allowing racism and bullying to run rife through their club, to have taken a kings ransom in salary over the years but to say they'll play for £52 year now..............and then to say maybe he'll come back to City in some capacity in the future!!!!! Totally lost the plot
 
The crap comments aimed at City over the years by Yaya and his agent were somehow forgiven by most City fans. He was given a great send off but this latest attack involving racist accusations is sickening. Somehow you always thought Yaya was really a nice guy at heart....not any more.....he is a nasty buggar and clearly a two faced bastard.
 
For two and a half seasons Yaya has not been good enough for the top of the premier league, I was surprised he got offered another 12 months, all our bad performances last season regarding slow build up play were in the league cup when he played and the terrible 2nd leg v Basle, when Pep said after we just passed the ball for passing sake (exactly Yaya !!!).
If he was to play against us this season does anyone really think he would be effective, in fact I would fear for him v our proper midfield as they would have a field day
If only he could have the class of Pablo Zabaleta, now that's how you leave as a legend
