Dimitri Seluk (Yaya's agent)

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Seluk already on record, not interested in China.

It'll be somewhere like Inter, for a low ball £8m, based on us not paying him off much more.

In essence, a free transfer deal, because he is owed about £12m in wages.

To be fair, Seluk is on record about a lot of other things too.

Seems a strange thing for him to say. Yes he normally says strange things, but usually his intention is to maximise Yaya's position, even if he doesn't actually achieve that aim. At this time I would have expected him to maintain the line that Yaya wants to stay. Put the pressure on City to force a transfer, on terms that financially benefit Yaya.

 

[mancitymick]

Players come and Go. He has done a job for us. For that I say thank you. We move on

 

[GaudinoMotors]

The big Jessie's probably not feeling loved again and needs Pep to say "please stay".

 

[r.soleofsalford]

odds on he`ll be going on a free with us paying the first £250,000 a week of his wages if he goes to those italian robbers

Just out of interest, when is Yaya contracted till?

I read he has a year left

If you're leaving, then leave just shut the fuck up about it. No idea why Yaya puts up with this clown as he's constantly undermining his legacy at City with his outbursts. Huge game coming up? I guess I better start putting negative stories in the papers then. Put the team first for once ffs

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I thought you said he was staying tolm? Whats changed?

Nothing much. City let it be known before the derby that they were happy for Yaya to stay and that he wouldn't be pushed out the door.

It would seem the Yaya camp (Seluk) has other ideas and they won't accept whatever a reduced role would be under Pep.

I don't think we are that lucky, but if Yaya demanded a move, we could at least avoid paying him up.

As it is, he in on such massive wages, we might have to get peanuts, anyhow, just so the buying club can hand him the fee, rather than us.

 

[dickie davies]

Yeah I understand that. It seems strange when fans tell others there's no room for sentiment in regards to players. I always thought that was part of the joy of the game. Like you say, you'd expect a manager to be different but I quite like having a bond with certain players. They've usually earned any sentiment coming their way.

Not for fucking years has that been the case

There's at least 5 in the current squad who have brought me enough joy to get sentimental over.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Isn't it his birthday next month? Turns 33.

At least if we all know where we stand, we can acknowledge his incredible role in our history and wave a new club legend down that tunnel for one final time?

He deserves no less, same goes for any of the lads from the early takeover days.

I get that, I really do
Players are transitory, especially at the level to which we aspire

 

[daveyboybluemoon]

Cheers, shame. If he had 2 years I fancied us telling his agent to do one for another year & then watch him cry in the media

I think you've missed the point of his post, mate.

I've no problem with players leaving when their time comes. Most disagreements stem from when that time is. It's different in each players case.

 

[bobmcfc]

I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE.

I love yaya but I really really do not care either. Hope he does well wherever he goes and he will be missed.

Bye bye

Do you not believe that Yaya Toure is now well beyond his best?

 

[PhillyBlue]

I'll drive him to the airport free of charge.

Ah that old chestnut!
