Dimitri Seluk (Yaya's agent)

This is just negotiating through the media. Yaya no doubt wants a free transfer and pay off and City haven't offered that to him (yet).
 
If Toure wants to go , Seluk has to pay City the last year of his contract , we bag £12m , get rid of a big wage , yaya f*cks off with his agent to the highest bidder , a real shame his City career will end in this way , but his agent represents what is wrong with the game , he is a cancer.

He has been a cancer on the pitch this season aswell. Absolutely zero effort for 95% of the games he played. Playing with 10 players whenever City weren't in possesion. Needs to either be rehabilitated into a very different role by Pep or fuck off to China. Personally I don't mind either, because he clearly has lots of experience and can be an asset if used right. However, what "right" is in this case only Pep would know (..maybe?).

Tut, tut. You should know how this place works by now.

Completely agree but everyone who doesn't will warp that Samaras line into something it isn't.

I knew I would get a load of grief for slagging him off. but in 6 years or so, I maintain you can recall his man of the match performances on two hands (albeit in important games). I appreciate some of his game is metronomic where he picks the ball up gives and goes 3 yards and gradually moves us forward. My own preference is for that forward progression to be a lot quicker. Still maintain we should have cashed in 2 years ago. This is a forum. About opinions. People you'll never meet don't agree with you. He is still my sons favourite player. I still think he's a lazy c**t
 
I'm hoping he's staying and Pep gets the most from him.....that said I'm not sure of the squad rules anymore. Maybe there's no room for him?

Pissed writing that. Still pissed now but need to explain my thinking. Wasn't comparing Samaras with Toure. Was saying Youtube is used for promotional purposes. Toures highlights reel is phenomenal BUT over 6 years at £250,000 a week has he ever put in more than a couple of Man of the Match performances in a season? Took the piss for the last 2 years and collected over £25M in wages. Has he earned that?

It's fine having an opinion, however, to suggest the man has been a peripheral figure is damn right laughable.... Lambaste the mans off the field attitude, his agent etc, but never forget the impact this man has had on it. The most unique player the prem has ever seen and but for off the field shenanigans, would be regarded by one and all as city's greatest ever player.... It's not even debatable for me!!!

How do you know what he's earned?
 
yaya was signed by manchester city to put us back on the map and with the others we have won everything in england and now on a level with the best in europe. so the money does not count for me like the rest it was job done we are now a major power on and off the field of play

again i will say it yaya was the key to winning silverware a big time player who come's up with the goals and when looking back manchester city fans will see yaya score BIG GOALS. a player that time and history was written in manchester city history books forget the money nobody care's when looking back

Completely agree. Yes, his agent and off field antics have been deplorable, but should not detract from his contribution on the field. In my opinion Yaya is the most important signing we have made since the takeover. The thing that impressed me most about Yaya is his passing range, left footed, right footed etc, technically superb.

Whether Yaya will stick around under Pep remains to be seen, but if he does it wouldn't surprise me if he plays the same sort of role Alonso did under Pep at Bayern. Yaya has a great passing range, whether he has the application is probably the big question.
 
He virtually carried us over the line in 2014 but then went on to spoil the celebrations by way of Agent Seluk. Even if Seluk was only speaking for himself, Yaya did nothing to defuse the situation by saying "Seluk speaks for me" and then producing two years of moderate form, by his standards. From that I can only deduce that either player or agent, or both, want a transfer but the problem here is that Yaya is priced out of the market by his high wage demands and by his oddball agent's fees. The evidence for this is seen by the lack of a queue for Yaya's services.
 
After decades of not winning anything I made a bet with my mates I would get myself a City tattoo if we would win any silverware. So in a way it was Yaya's goal vs Stoke that made me get one.

On a more serious note, I can understand Yaya is not everyones favorite player. But to be blind to the fantastic moments and big game performances he gave us is poor to say the least. And with Pep coming in I wouldn't mind one bit if Yaya would stay for another year if he can come close to the Yaya in Pellegrini's and our title winning season 13-14. How good was Yaya that year, by far the best all round midielder to be seen for a long time.
 
The Crystal Palace away game in 2014, that put us right back in it. Watch Yaya play the ball to Nasri, who plays it straight back to him. Nasri knows ! He just knows. Off sets Yaya…
One of City's all time greats, whether he stays or goes. Forget agents, money, "laziness", birthday cakes, and all such side issues. He's not beyond criticism, far from it, but we should have the good grace to recognize him for what he is and has been.
 
Odd that isn't it? One of the best players in the world, up there with Messi and tranny, the heartbeat of the team etc. Not bothered about how much money he gets paid. Just wants to be loved and respected. Much better than Aubamanyang .
I wonder why all the biggest and best clubs in the world haven't snapped him up ?

Perfectly put. He's undoubtedly in our top 5 players EVER, some could argue he's been the very best. Unfortunately I seem to agree with those that think his time here has come to an end, it's just a shame it isn't necessarily an amicable one.

Simply, he's a bit of a knob, but an excellent footballer, an icon. He's been the architect of a huge pot of memories we'll all enjoy for years to come.
