Yaya-Keep or Sell?

[Akira]

He needs to go to free space in our wages budget for all the new players Pep wants to sign. And if all the noise in the boom thread about how much money we are prepared to spend is true, he will not be the only one out.

If he stays, he has to play to the ability reflected in his wage. If not, his wages could be better spent on hungrier players.

My money is on Yaya staying. Hope so anyway.

Fingers crossed, but I will believe it when I see it.

We should just release him to save on his wages! I think tolm said he's on around £12m a year?

I hope they made him a tiramisu

 

[Jacob Smith]

Hope he goes. Yes he's a legend, but he took the piss at times last season & is getting to the point where he can't turn it on even when it wants to.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Hope he goes sooner rather than later. Thanks for everything but it's time to go separate ways.

   Yaya's agent has quickly denied talk of a medical, but tomorrow's Corriere dello Sport says Inter want a deal soon.

We'd need to hire a baker if we wanted to keep him!

Buh-bye!

Indeed. Mancini apparently wants Yaya as his +1 priority signing... if ownership changes, I wonder what impact this will have on Mancini's wishes.

Or on Mancini's future, but that might be more long term

Inter chief Ausilio: Inter like Yaya, medical reports untrue, suggested any deal would be post-Chinese investment and need to respect FFP

Touré could join Inter for half his current wages or join Chinese club Jiangsu and be loaned to Inter for two seasons on higher wages. [CdS]

 

[citymad]

Sell, can't take another season swanning around moaning and stealing a weekly wage. Been good for us but its time to move on. Besides Pep won't put up with his antics.

Inter: 'Few more days for Toure'
By Football Italia staff

Inter director Piero Ausilio said “it’ll take a few more days” for Yaya Toure and the Manchester City man “has not had a medical.”

The Nerazzurri are on the verge of a takeover by Chinese group Suning, which should be announced on Monday morning.

“We knew there were talks for the influx of new capital in the club, but we thought it would be as minority shareholders,” Ausilio told the Corriere dello Sport.

“Now instead it’s talk of a total change in ownership.”

The technical director was also asked about reports Inter will go for Yaya Toure and let slip it’s an advanced situation.

“I think it’ll take a few more days. That is assuming there are negotiations… He is a player who Roberto Mancini likes a great deal, he’s very good, but also very expensive.

“I don’t know if Inter will be able to get him and for now we cannot decide: we have to abide by UEFA Financial Fair Play limitations.

“I can confirm he has not had a medical with us.”
