Player topic: Yaya Toure (2014/15)

Re: Yaya?

We seem to have a group of Alan Turing's apprentices on this forum who have managed to crack the coded messages of Yaya.

When Yaya says that he is not injured and ready to play against Sunderland, the Turing translation is that (by substituting various letters in a complex mathematical algorithm) Yaya is challenging the Manager by refuting the managerial claim that he had a slight injury for the Burnley game. Looking deeper (and by applying Einsteins fundamental laws), we discover that the tweet is in fact a transfer request as well as a direct challenge to the Manager and the club.

There is, of course, an alternative explanation to the tweet. That is, MP did not want to risk Yaya because Yaya may have casually mentioned that he felt a very slight twinge after the Burnley game.

This really is much ado about nothing.

Spot on Jollylescott.
It also crossed my mind we want him for an extra 24 hours so he can play in the FA Cup on Sunday, so by not playing him against Burnley, we are trying to keep the Ivory Coast FA sweet.

What so the FA cup game at home to Sheffield Wednesday is some how more important than a league game against Burnley?

The team we put out against Burnley was good enough to win that game! People getting there knickers in a twist over fuck all is quite staggering really

That's a very impressive line in to the managers thinking you have there



ffs

Don't bite Jolly, I'm with you. Just think some on here will not let go and want to continue arguing (over nothing)

Re: Yaya?

Not sure why he would have tweeted that publicly.

Reading between the lines he's not happy at not playing, which is fine, but this should have stayed in the dressing room.

I can't imagine that pellers will be particularly chuffed at this latest declaration which has been written presumably by his agent. I reckon he's off as soon as we find a replacement, which may well be frank meaning bye bye in January. IMO

Find a replacement? Who do we replace him with? Anyone can say what they want about the summer shenanigans but he is just absolutely indispensable to us right now. We simply cannot sell him in January or otherwise we are throwing away any chance of the title. We play one game without him and our midfield goes completely shot, he really is that vital and the role he performs is so important. I can't name a single player in that position I'd have over him, easily by a country mile the best box to box midfielder in the world.

I don't really care what he says on Twitter or anything else, so far he has a contract to play at this club until that contract ends and he has certainly stepped up massively which coincides with the recent winning run we have had.

Agreed. Why did he/his agent feel the need to post that tweet, knowing full well the trouble that may cause. Basically, he's contradicting what the manager said. Even if what he tweeted is true, he should have kept quiet.

No not at all, but this is the midfield that led us to victory in Rome and will be expected to carry us through January when Yaya is away. Also injuries permitting it's my guess it'll also be the one we play against Barca (presume Yaya has a 3 match ban?!)

What trouble has it caused other than on an internet message board where some mard arses are incandescent with rage over absolutely fuck all

Re: Yaya?

There's little doubt that for the most part Yaya lives in 'Yayaland', but one things for definite, whatever we might think, we're not privy to what actually goes on inside his head. Because we're fans we read all sorts of things into any and every aspect of his behaviour, he doesn't look interested, he's challenging Pellegrini's authority, he'll be off in January. One, or all of those may turn out to be true, in which case lots of people will say "I told you so", but there again, none of them may turn out to be true. I'm sure the people at City have got Yaya's card marked far more accurately than any of us ever will. The guys in charge have bags of experience in dealing with the Yaya's of the footballing world and I'd be mightily disappointed if they weren't on top of everything he does and one step ahead of his 'advisors'.

Re: Yaya?

Just can't understand why he felt the need to contradict the manager? !?!

Furthermore, why did the club feel the need to retweet it?
