This is it for Yaya. He isn't going to improve from here. He's 31, his best years are not ahead of him but Manchester City's are. It's downhill for Yaya now though and while his stock is high why not get as much for him as possible and move on as a club?
I cannot be doing with people who are only in it for themselves. Well, ones who openly show that anyway. David Silva and James Milner may well only be in it for themselves but with their ultimate professionalism and hard working attitude you would think they were here for the club and fans only. No petulance, no histrionics, no moaning, no sulking...just hard work and determination 100% of the time. Even when Yaya's happy you can't say that about him; Wigan at home in the FA Cup is testament to that - pathetic performance from a man who was captain for the day and on the way to the best season of his career. He was trying to get himself sent off in the minutes before Pellegrini hooked the fucker off. That says a lot about him.
We've worked incredibly hard as a club in the last twelve months to get rid of this unprofessional faction within our club. Mancini did a good job of getting rid of a lot of the players with the wrong attitude (Elano Robinho Ireland Adebayor, he wanted rid of Tévez) and I think he would have continued the job (I think Mancini thought Hart had the wrong attitude and he would have been the next out under him) the only thing is he had the wrong attitude himself. Between Begiristain and Pellegrini there has been the right kind of attitude from the top as well this year and it appeared that the dick head element at our club had disappeared, even those with questionable attitudes from years past.
However, apart from the pathetic performance in last year's FA Cup final against Wigan, this shit from Yaya and his agent has been the most pathetic thing to come out of the club since Tévez's ridiculous drama at the Allianz a few years ago. It has undermined the hard work put into portraying City as a sensible, professional, holistic outfit. It's absolutely pathetic!
The only thing is, we're tied a little bit when it comes to Yaya. You could easily say that without him, no matter who we replace him with, we wouldn't win the league next season. It's not like we'd be losing García, we'd be losing our most powerful and effective player. But if we're supposed to be promoting holism as a club we don't want shit coming out from pathetic individuals like Yaya and his agent. So what do we do?
It's difficult but when you think, like I said at the top, that Yaya's best years are not ahead of him maybe getting rid wouldn't be such a bad thing long term. We'd show how powerful and brave we were as a club and we'd be standing by our holistic stance. We can't have moaning fucking pricks if we want to be holistic.
So, let's see what we'd get for him, I say.
