Yaya Toure apologises

[NorCalBlue]

The League Cup final last season summed up Yaya to me. Had the nerve/ability to score the winning penalty - then wheeled off expecting to be mobbed by adoring team mates - only to notice that everyone had rightly ran off to Willy.
Great but fading ability - and certainly not a team player.
Bye bye Yaya - thanks for the footballing memories - but not the cock of an agent.

I once had some dangerously undercooked chicken nuggets from a fast food place in Germany called "Wienerwald". Would you like to apologize, or do I have to get my mate Dmitri involved?

Yes I get them as well.

There's as much chance he had one as I spent those four days in a three some with the Cheeky Girls.

If Lembit Opik can manage it I'm sure it's not beyond you.

Just in case anyone wants to hear Seluk's phone call on SkySports. Funnier than I thought it would be. He sounds senile.

"Let's forget about Joe Hart for a second because you don't represent him." Fair play, Jim.

Just literally confirms what everyone thought 100%. The guy is nothing short of an imbecile. Listening to him made me want to destroy my speakers.

The main thing to take from this is how weak yaya really is. Nobody in their right mind would tolerate this from an agent representing them...unless they dont have the strength of character to fix the problem. Either that or he is so stupid he actually subscribes to the shit this weird man spouts.

Last season, many players were lackadasical. That's a different story. I'm talking about this season. Like Kola and Zaba, Yaya too came back looking mighty fitter. He just doesn't fit Pep's plans period. Seluk didn't like it so he whinned.

I think you've conflated 2 seasons here: I'm saying Yaya is probably not going around throwing up hitorionics about bad passes and generally moaning around in practice this season. Why? coz he is not a key member anymore. So I doubt teammates are queueing up to take him. out or lay one on him. But then again, I could be wrong. You are right, folks have a way of blowing with the new wind that will shock one's conscience at times. That said, I doubt teammates will go out of their way to put one in like fans would so love to see. His teammates simply are unlikely to share the same level of angst that fans tend to do.

No he didn't. He looked way off the pace every time he got on the pitch.
He's played for Guardiola before, he should know more than anyone what required.

Listen to the words Seluk is actually saying. He's saying Pep is getting rid of Yaya because of personality. He even references what the big nosed one had to say. Do you not think Fernandinho, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov, Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Gundogan consider themselves to have a 'personality'?

Are you not listening to what Pep is saying? He needs to apologise to MANCHESTER CITY. That includes the players. I'm going to beg that Pep has said this for a reason, one of those will be to unite his players further.

This has actually made City look pretty badass

Pep's a badass!

Here, my mate Dmitri is a bigger illiterate fat bald slob than your mate Dmitri.

Maybe, maybe not but IIRC Yaya has had time off before due to migraine.

Anyhow, Pep rules.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Lol. Cant stop laughing at that response.

Classic

I reckon Pep has said that because he is smart enough to not make it about him. You make it about the club, then it's bigger. You make it about yourself, then yuou run the risk of looking petty and thin skinned. I'm not surprised he requested an apology to the club. I'd have done the same. That gets the club, the fans, and the media on your side. As for Sleuk's ramblings, in fairness he said 'big personality.' This doesn't mean great players. Some great players don't have big personalities. Silva for example doesn't. Superb player but he doesn't have that edge. Kompany does. Balotelli with his max potential and minimum perfromance, did. Joe did. Lescott didn't. It has little to do with talent, talent helps it come out more, but some players have that and others don't have it at such levels sometimes.

But I doubt players are busy taking offense to an agent saying Pep doesn't like working with big personalities. And then inferring from that that the agent is suggesting they don't have big personalities.
