How many player's did we have out of contract 12 months ago? Yet only Yaya got a new contract, anyone who believes his guff, has a screw loose.
With the pedophilia storm that's hit the game wouldn't it be best if the club spoke to Toure discretely with lawyers and if he makes an accusation then the club should open a formal in house investigation
If Toure or his agent then release a statement to the press saying City have asked for clarification and are seeking to undertake a racism investigation, City can then also release a statement about the seriousness of any racism accusation whilst formally calling racism abhorrent (which it is) and that any racism accusation will always be taken extremely seriously and investigated
It will be sorted by Toure withdrawing any accusation and if he still pursues then City must speak to all players individually with their representatives present to find out if there's any truth to Toure's accusation
Absolutely loved Yaya Toure as a player, although it was clear to see he was on the wane ever since the 2013/14 season ended.
For me he will always be a playing legend, though these recent comments, if true, have tarnished his status a little for me.
I'm a little disturbed by the number of posters on here who seemingly were just waiting for an opportunity to "stick the boot" in where Yaya is concerned, I know I wouldn't want to be in the trenches with these so called supporters.
That's fine, it's usually cold in the ground.“May you and your crowd NEVER get a speedy pint at half time, may your chips always be on the cusp of running out, and may the little blue lights remain broken till you are cold in the ground”
evil, evil stuff from the big man
Having refelcted on the whole saga now for a couple of days Yaya is still for me a City legend, albeit slightly a tarnsihed one.
My reasoning? Yaya is obviously a very outspoken man at times as we have seen over the years and this incident suggests he has a big problem with pep. Fine, hes not the first footballer to have a problem with his manager. Yes what he said was unsavoury but thats between him and Pep. Pep and Yaya are just 2 more people that will come and go from City and form our history. Each will have made their own mark on our current success. If Yaya launched an attack on manchester City per se then that would be different and his legend status would be in ruins but he hasnt, its a personal issue with one person and im sure Pep can handle it the way he thinks best. Its a sad state of affairs as was the cake incident and the others but ill always recognise what he has done on the pitch which if we are honest has been right at the beart of our club becoming the powerhouse it is today. Id say, Yaya keep your gob shut in future and your still a legend for what youve done for us on the pitch.

I believe what the players say about him not some trashy newspaper jumping at the chance for bad news relating to the club... In the words of vinny...
If anyone is going to be a legend at this Club, it's this man," said Kompany.
"I just want to say thank you to Yaya. Thank you for being a wonderful team-mate both in the dressing room and on the pitch.
