Yaya Toure apologises

[malg]

Every time Guardiola opens his mouth, Rags must rue the day they appointed Mourinho. There's no way Mourinho has the balls that Guardiola has when taking on star players.

No one will take him on. I'm sure there'll be no such thing as player power when he's in charge. This approach is long overdue in football.

Looks to me like a way to get Yaya out of the club. The only way Yaya can apologise is to sack his agent, and I'm guessing that ain't happening.

Dimitri Seluk to @SkySportsNewsHQ: "I live in Europe so I can say whatever I like and Guardiola can't stop me."

Just get rid Pep and don't forget to get him a farewell cake, then we can get back to normality and not feed the media with negativity.!

Dimitri Seluk to @SkySportsNewsHQ: "I will apologise to Guardiola if he will apologise to Manuel Pellegrini for what he did to him."

I always wondered why Pelle kept on playing Yaya week in and week out.Now we know who actually was pulling the strings.

I think the man has won quite a few games and trophies you shifty looking ****. Anyway he's the manger and decides who plays and who doesn't not this clown

To be fair, this isn't that impressive. Yaya was already a fringe player on the squad. Left to management they'd have rather he moved on. So putting your foot down on an aging fringe player isn't that impressive. There are lots of Impressive things Pep has done here, but this isn't one of them. I know the hate for Yaya here makes folks go gaga over any bad that befalls him. But lets keep it factual, any manager would have taken the same decision. I mean Schweinsteiger didn't say shit at United and Mourihno sent him to go play with the youth team.
Sit
When you are surplus to requirement, this is what happens. If i were Yaya, I sure would not apologize. Sit tight, collect your 250 a week for the rest of your one year. Keep your aging legs fresh so you can play a few more paid for seasons when your contract of getting paid to relax is over. It's only in the mind of fans do they think this is actually a negative for Yaya. I mean I'd love for my company to overpay me to take a vacation for a year at a position I am surplus to requirement at.

Truth is this works for all sides. Pep doesn't have to workout ways to fit some aging ex ward into his new philosophy and an ex-great player doesn't have to spend his last year hoping for 10 minute scraps at the end of games. To me this is a win win situation. Perhaps a win-win-win. As the fans who have always disliked Yaya and deemed his actions disreputable can too pump their fist in joy for having won finally. :)

I guess its a trifecta :) But none of it is that impressive. IN my opinion obviously :)

Impressive or not, I really don't think you can compare the Yaya and Schweinsteiger situations. I think most of us agree that Pep has issued a statement that has been long overdue. Perhaps any (previous) manager should have taken the same decision as Pep regarding Yaya and his prick of an agent, but history clearly tells us that they didn't.
