Yaya Toure apologises

[Blue Mooner]

That's up to Pep.

But you have just agreed with me on the other stuff.

Ultimately of course it's up to Pep but I would be disappointed after he has made a public apology if Pep doesn't keep his word.

We're always second guessing Pep will have the facts, I just hope this is enough to get Yaya back with the squad and playing. He could come up with some crucial goals and his experience is invaluable.

He can't be held accountable for the person he employs to represent him?

Yes he can.

Complete and utter nonsense. Yaya has swallowed his pride and apologised. He can't be held accountable for that pr*ck of an agent. It maybe that Yaya now wants rid of him but he could still be contractually tied to the fool.

He's done what's been asked, great news, now time to bring him back into the fold.

But thats exactly what yaya pays his agent for, to represent him... So surely he is responsible

Pep asked Seluk for an apology, there is none. He won't be going back on any word if he decides Yaya is not welcomed back into the fold.

lol i know, his agent has only done what Yaya has agreed to him doing.

If Pep thinks the agent is going to keep gobbing off, then he's still likely to sideline Yaya, unless Yaya actually threatens to split with him.

Then I think he might back the player. But Pep is impossible to predict.

I think yaya and seluk were hoping for a defeat against Barcelona and a victory for Dortmund to push us into 3rd in the group.
It's become clear that we'll more than likely progress to the knockout stages now and Pep has been vindicated by his stance.
Toure is being well and truly left behind and becoming more irrelevant by the day. If this season turns out to be a very successful one,he'll want some kind of recognition for himself. A penalty or free kick as a sub, anything will do.
I don't believe a word he says about respecting the club and fans. He wants recognition for himself and nobody else.

 

[Neville Kneville]

If all players are going to be made directly accountable for the utterances of their agents, even if they distance themselves from such in public, then it opens up a future can of worms imo.

 

[willipp]

Yes he can.

I totally agree, but for some reason people seem to think Yaya has no control over his agent. If that is the case then Yaya should act and sack him, but we all know that won't happen and therefore Yaya cannot be serious with his apology.

So, imagine for one moment that Yaya is accepted back into the fold. What happens in January? Does Pep put him into the Chumps League squad at the expense of somebody else? Personally I hope and think not. In other news, it's amazing how a win over Barca can bring 'em all out of the woodwork, Negredo is now saying it was a mistake to leave City, tough.
