Yaya Toure apologises

Whilst I agree in most parts regarding Yayas mobility in the press. A player with Toures ball retention ability can be useful in closing games down. He's going to be with us until the end of the season unless he loans out (some hope on his wages) in Jan.
I'm sure there will be some games where first 11 players need resting that he would be a useful option.
He's apologised let's move on.

Seems Yaya is eager to get back involved. Not got the legs to play a midfield role in Pep's setup but surely a decent option to provide cover in central defence?

If Kolarov can play centre back in a Pep team, Yaya certainly can. If Fernando can get game time in a Pep team, Yaya certainly can.
 
Too little, too late.

Yaya remains a legend at the club, but he's only a hindrance for the current squad going forward. Time for both him, and us, to move on.
 
oh ffs. cat amongst the pigeons. We just dont need him now.

I dont want him spouting thhe same sort of shite in the dressing room and bringing a whole load of negativity to Peps plans
 
If there's one thing Pep's proven over his career it's that he can get players to do things they didn't think they could do. I don't believe in picking Yaya on the basis of his history with us (which is huge, as everyone knows). I still think he can play an important squad role, and I'd love to see him play out a season or two with us in that capacity.
 
Glad to see him apologise. I think he'd be useful to come on at home if we're struggling to break down teams who aren't really attacking us. Everton and Southampton spring to mind. He's obviously never going to play in the big games, and probably won't start any games at all but he's definitely worth a place on the bench.
 
It'll be interesting to see Guardiola's response in his press conference today.
 
Fantastic news.

Pep can now just use him as & when he sees fit. His twat of an agent has agreed to keep his gob shut whether Yaya plays or not. Pep has won & now has a hugely talented player at his disposal. who he can do precisely what he wants with.

Yaya can say goodbye in Jan or at the end of the season, & could still score a few match winning goals between now & whenever that happens.

Guardiola has no option but to make Yaya part of his squad. He said that if he received an apology thats what he would do. Pep found favour in the media for his stance on this and has clearly won this battle but if he now went against his word it would not play out well for him or the club.
 
if there is a lower form of life than Seluk i havent seen it , he gets his client who he takes millions of pounds from to apologise on his behalf , fair play to Yaya for his statement but its too little too late and his low life agent is a f*cking coward , yaya will never suit a pep team he should be loaned out with the hope some club will pay a proportion of his wages. What a sad end to a player who should of gone down in our history as one of the greatest.
 
Fair play to Yaya, he's a proud man and that must have been a difficult pill to swallow.

That being said, the timing was out by a few months and Aleix Garcia in the meantime has fully earned his place in the squad. Interesting to see how this pans out.
 
Busy period of football coming up over the festive period, yaya fresh from not playing hopefully pulls his finger out and integrates back in the team.
