Yaya Toure apologises

[Terra Passenger]

Yeah I would have thought Yaya's apology for both of them was more or less enough for Pep to put an end to his freezing out.

Within 15mins of Yaya posting online Seluk went on air and said he doesn't apologise and has no idea why Yaya is doing so.

Literally the worst agent ever. All he had to do was keep his gob shut.

Bizarre.

It seems that Pep is demanding an apology from Seluk rather than from Yaya.

Now that this has transpired, will Yaya drop Seluk as his agent?

 

[SWP's back]

He's still our best midfielder in possession

Gundogan says "Hi"

 

[Shirley]

Would not surprise me if Pep (directed by the club) refuses questions about this in his presser just in case there are possible legal ramifications.
Snake of an agent we are dealing with.

When have you ever known him to do that?

 

[talkativesprout]

Gundogan says "Hi"

David Silva says "Feck off, Johnny come lately"

 

[SWP's back]

David Silva says "Feck off, Johnny come lately"

Never heard of him.

Yaya has apologised and Yaya can't control what his snake of an agent says, so that should be the end of it

Pep should accept the apology and say that Yaya is back in the squad. Can't really see him ever commanding a starting place in the team though

Of course not. This is designed by Seluk to try to make Pep look bad. The average football fan reading this story says ok, Yaya apologized but now Pep is going back on his word. We know that is not true but it is good press for Yaya.

Agree.

I now expect the obvious counter from Pep - I appreciate Yaya's apology - but what I wanted is an apology from Seluk. Until Seluk apologizes, Yaya will not play.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Pep "I am happy to play Yaya again once he breaks into Seluk's house and shits in his fridge"

Seeing as Yaya is Seluk's biggest client and main income source I think Touré really should be able to control what Seluk says. If he disagrees then it's easy to come out and say that. Touré should be the one in a position of power but it seems to be the other way around.

Yaya has stated that the views of others do not represent his,so,If thats the case and this apology is sincere,why the fuck is he still employing the man who made the comments and who has kept this circus going for the past couple of years?
Until Yaya actually comes out and gives his reasoning for such,then his words are empty and mean fuck all in my eyes.

It's ridiculous...If Seluk had kept his gob shut it could be smoothed over...genuinely believes he just likes the publicity...any publicity...the thing is...What will happen when Yaya retires?

No player will touch him with a barge pole

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Who else is he an agent for?

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Never heard of him.

Tough tackling midfielder from the canaries...

 

[Blue Feather]

Has Ya Ya really needed this man, certainly for the last few years? He should have waved goodbye a while back. I would like to see an agent free Ya Ya contribute but wonder if there is more to this than just a pratt of an agent mouthing off. Whatever, Ya Ya will always be a legend so it would be great if something could turn out positively for all concerned....minus Seluk

 

[didsburyblu]

Whose YaYa?

He has been a close friend for years,they are godfathers to each others children and he has got yaya rich and famous,he will never ditch him sadly

 

[Ezra]

I think @Neville Kneville halibut put that argument to rest.

If this is your sole response, I'd let sleeping dogs lie. Not really your plaice to interfere! ;0)

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

One possible situation that may explain why Yaya has persisted with Seluk is that Seluk somehow has leverage on Yaya that makes staying with him the only/easier option.
