PL & CL Squads (updated: Toure omitted from CL squad)

Yaya declined those offers because he would have to take pay cut. How would you feel if you were told you could leave but you have to leave £10M on the table? That isn't much of a choice is it?

It's going to effect the club reputation because it seems to be very vindictive to keep a player around when he is absolutely not in your plans. This would be understandable if Yaya was going to be squad player and had value to the club, but all signs point to him not getting minimal game time. You are going to pay him the full amount anyway, why not pay less for him to go somewhere, and avoid distraction + ugliness especially when its a player who has had very big influence on where the club is today?

It won't affect the clubs reputation in my eyes but then I support the club not individual players. He should have gone when he allowed his agent to slag the club over his brother and cake gate. He is already richer than croesus, they had offers I suspect they just gambled and lost. I am delighted in what he offered on the pitch for us in his prime , but I am disgusted in what he has allowed his employee say about us to the press etc.

I don't see how this is a footballing move.

City are playing hardball, and I don't see what the end game is. Its illogical on all fronts. It is obvious that Yaya is not going to take paycut or miss out on his loyality bonus due at the end of the year. In this scenario city have two choices 1) Subsidize a move away from the club, and free up some of the wage bill 2) Utilize his talents at the club instead of paying him part wages to play for another team.

It appears City have chosen option 3 which is to be vindictive, keep Yaya around as a distraction without utilizing him as a footballer. This is horrible on financial level, football level, and does not help clubs reputation among players around the world.

It's 100% a football move. Pep does not rate Yaya, he's seen Yaya come back to training overweight and has seen enough of him to know he is not suited to playing our high intensity pressing play. And I fully agree with him having watched years of Yaya barely getting above a leisurely jog and letting players 5 feet away just stroll past him cos he can't be arsed defending. Was a great player for us but he has no place in Pep's team.

Would you accept less than what you are owed. Easy for you to say walk away from millions of pounds. I don't blame him for taking less money, I definitely wouldn't.

Now we agree he won't accept less, what benefit is it for the club to have Yaya in the squad if he is not going to play? It aint like he won't get paid the full amount he is owed if he is on the bench.
