It is a strong statement I agree, a very strong statement - I won't deny that . It is though a statement not aimed at you or about the colour of his skin.
I deeply believe that for some inexplicable reason Yaya has never got the credit in the game amongst the media, other fans or even our own fans that he deserves.
It can't be effort the stats prove that a lie, it can't be ability - that is evident for all to see, it can't be the cake comment - tevez did 100x worse on a 100 ocassions, it can't be race we have loved many players who shared the same race, it can't be commitment to City as he has shown as much or more than our beloved heroes kompany, aguero, silva . So what is it?
I think that African footballers and by this I mean footballers from Africa, playing for African countries have never got the respect they deserved. Eto'o never got the credit his ability deserved and was always called a mercenary in the way players like Beckham never were. Weah was never loved, Drogba never got credit outside Chelsea's fans commensurate with his impact in the game in the same way others like Zola did. Maybe it's all about marketability and money, what sells but I do think it's true that overall African footballers and in this case Yaya haven't got the respect or acknowledgement they deserve.
I apologise for causing offense , I should've been clearer and I shouldn't have done it on a quoted reply , I have no reason to make any judgement on you i don't know you from Adam and don't know what creed or colour you are to even judge.
