Toure's agent speaks out (again)

Baffled by some people who don't seem to like the fact that people personally don't like yaya.

We all love city, that's why we are members on here, post fanatically and most pay hard earned money to watch the blues. When one particular player slated the club along with his agent then IMO the fans of the club are entitled to begrudge that individual. The fact that he was a very important player FOR us doesn't go in his favour it's more of an act of betrayal. I suppose it depends on your experiences with our club but dunne is a legend of this club. Gio. The goat. Legend status goes way above ability and even achievements

Yaya will be a legend in the eyes of 15/16 year old lads in Singapore.

Or perhaps even those who waited 36 years to see a trophy or 44 years to see us win the league, hardly 15/16 year olds
Unlike the bed wetters who constantly drone on about the legend that saw us relegated twice turning up for the odd game on tv.

If a city legend is someone who slates the club that you claim to support then good for you flower.

Right up there with Danny mills in the hall of fame

Yeah, good choice on your part, he won as many medals at City as Gio did, although he did avoid the double relegation, a bit like the guy you're criticising, you know the one who scored the winning goals in the semi final and final in 2011, the guy who scored the two important goals in the penultimate game in Newcastle, the same guy who put is back in the final in 2014 and scored over 20 goals in midfield as we won the league

Yeah he's shit, and you are a genius

I'll post my address

I liked Kinkladze, but he ain't no legend, he was a good player, sometimes great, but you can't escape the fact we had a double relegation during his tenure, hardly legendary deeds regardless of what some fools may think

I've already said, only about an hour ago, that he might well be one of the best ever players to play for our club. Not once have I said he's shit. Just not a legend in my eyes

I'm not a genius like you have alluded, but at least I can read

Edit..it was 4 hours ago..

Talk of him being a city legend despite him and his agent constantly slating the club? Not for me. One of our best ever players? Undoubtably. THE best? Maybe. But not a legend, a legend in my eyes loves and respects the club

I echo your thoughts. Always great to see a replay or two of his highlights reel but the truth be told he went missing as often as he produced the goods.

Actions speak louder than words, and actions on the pitch speak volumes for Yaya. If you're going to let the weasel words of an agent 'trying' to look after his client then I suggest you try getting a thicker skin.

In light of the critics of his abilities amongst the fanbase I would have thought this would make sense to them and they would welcome this news? They are the self same fans criticising Seluk for tgis statement. Contradictions a plenty on this forum.

My daughter adored him, still does, as do many who grew up in that time when they had no heroes, and nothing to dream of.
That all changed for her when Weaver came on the scene, it seems some others haven't been able to see through their pre teen fixations

Unlike you I didn't try to "claim" you don't support City, although many people on here think you don't
Although unlike you I have all the mods on here who have seen me at a game, except our American based Smiths fan

Haha, people don't think I support city?

Oh no.

Gutted.

Compelling points here chap, but as riveting as you are, we aren't getting anywhere.

Being a legend is measured in many different ways. Gio stayed when many, if not all, of todays players would leave in a heart beat.

That makes him a legend in my eyes in addition to the fact he was probably the most exciting City player Ive ever seen in a blue shirt.

Look at the North stand when Kinkladze was bearing down on the West Ham goal in the cup match. That rush of excitement/adrenalin whatever you want to call it is the exact reason many people fell in love with football. Kinkladze provided it on a weekly basis

Weekly is overdoing it
You've been reading far too many rag tops who have a penchant for hyperbole, he did it several times in four years, hardly great never mind legendary

I'd even put Rosler above him, sometimes
