Yaya Toure apologises

Absolutely by extension.
When Seluk first ranted about the birthday cake , everyone thought he was talking absolute bollocks or having a laugh, and expected Yaya to tell us it was exactly that, and nip in the bud. Instead he said that Seluk spoke for him. In hindsight, we should have asked for an apology then or got rid. It was soon after Yaya's brother died though, which may have effected both Yaya's and our actions.

Now though, for a player to allow the actions of his agent to effect the players game time reflects very badly on that player. Is Yaya weak, stubborn, greedy , stupid ,none or all of those things ? I don't know. I just find the whole thing very sad from beginning to sorry end.

Who really knows for certain what goes on within YaYa's mind? But it is curious that YaYa is said to see seluk as 'Papuska' - 'second father' - and would have probably met seluk at about the age of 20 at Donetsk. In which case seluk's quote might be somewhat revealing - "(Pep) doesn't want to work with men. He wants to work with players who are very young because he can control them like children."
 
We're letting Touré off lightly here- he's employing Seluk, not the other way around, so he's the one in the position of power. He chooses to allow Seluk to say these things which implies to me that he agrees but doesn't want to say these things himself.
