Yaya Toure apologises

[BigOscar]

Spectacular way to destroy any future he had as a football agent, whilst also hugely damaging his clients ability to earn in the future. Well done Dimitri, at least you got to pretend to be a big man though so I'm sure it's all worth it.

Oh deary me.

On the one hand I want to knock that fat **** out live on Sky Sports News outside the Etihad and tell him he's a laughable twat who doesn't know his arse from his elbow - I mean he wants Pep to apologise to Pellegrini, when Manuel came out first and said, "Pep's coming to take over and i'm fine with it". (!)

He's just doesn't know when to keep his trap shut does he? All this does is say to Yaya's suitors "stay the fuck away". He's not playing, because he's past it, its being broadcast to everyone and he's got an agent with a mouth bigger than Garry Cook's left foot.

I hope he's banned from the City Campus I really do and I hope we advertised it on one of those "Welcome to Manchester" posters - except it will say "fuck off from Manchester".

Or we could just throw the fat porker some chicken feed into his trough and kick him up the arse. Then point and laugh at him.

Oh yeah, on the other hand I think we don't have to do anything because Mr Pissy Birthday Cake is doing it all by himself - even the papers and news can see it.

Long time overdue his slimey low life agent has been throwing a aspersions and insults at our football club and management for years , and Yaya has stood by and condoned his agents behaviour , thanks for everything Yaya ,its been a blast. Don't let the door hit your big fat wallet on the way out

I agree with this and don't feel sorry for him. Shouldn't let his agent behave like that and to be honest I don't feel sorry for him he's taking £250000 home every week.

Yaya is a legend, but his absolute tool of an agent is tarnishing his image. Hope Yaya is out of the club by January. He could have a bad influence in the dressing room.

What an arsewipe that Seluk is, he's a fucking glorified estate agent, a vulture who feasts on the carcass of football, we don't need Yaya like we used to, if he wants to play again he needs to tell his agent to STFU, or sack him.

Your analogy is incomplete. An employer that doesn't want me but only keep me around because we've signed a contract that states I have to be paid an amount no one else is willing to pay, isn't an employer I am too worried about pleasing. Perhaps Yaya is. But I wouldn't be. We know, and I'm assuming Yaya knows that the only reason he is still here is because no other team will take on his contract. The moment that contract expires he'd be jettisoned. More likely than not, Yaya would not get paid 200 or 250k which ever absurd amount it is anywhere else he goes. SO why would Yaya be interested in pleasing an employer who doesn't want him but are simply stuck with him?

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but when I put myself in Yaya's situation, I see no value in backing down. Is not as if Yaya is a starter who has been removed from the team for bad behaviour. He is an overpaid fringe player who can barely make the team on his best behavior. If I were him, I'd simply put my feet up and collect on the last year of a never to be had again plump salary. As for my employer's assessment (same employer that really has no need for me and would rather i was gone?) I could give a rats ass about what it thinks vindicates it.

I guess I'm a pro worker anti-management kinda dude. And this spills into every aspect of my life. I love City as the club I support, but at a base level I am still a "fuck Management" type of dude. And just to be clear, you don't need to have been a dick to be sent to the kiddie pitch. It's a business. Moanihno sent Shweinshwein to play with t he youth kids even though he never said a bad word. Pep wanted Joe out even though he never said a bad word. These actions are not wrong even though folks felt a raw emotional reaction to them. That's simply what managemet does. When you are not needed, they want you out. tthat's just life. I'd be hard pressed to give 2 fucks about an organization, any organization that wants me out. But then again, that's just me. I can be a **** for my own interest like that.

Fair enough but - for me - personal pride takes precedence. If I wasn't wanted, and knew full well I didn't have the required skillset, I'd move on and not sit there festering. Some sort of deal might have been possible behind the scenes if Seluk hadn't shot his mouth off in the first place.

I've normally taken the opposite side to you - the management side. However one thing you quickly learn in working life is that we are all dispensable!

Time for Toure to show some balls now. Does he want to play for us again (notwithstanding he doesn't warrant a place in the side at the moment ), or is he happy to be his agent's lapdog?

Spot on......exactly what I was thinking. He must see what an ass**** this guy is and just listened to his crap all these years and not said a word. He has made a massive contribution to our success over the years and it would be great if he finally told Celuk where to go.
