Agree with that. Rightly or wrongly, Guardiola brought this to a head. I think he was right, for what it's worth.

It was incredibly calculated.
Pep brought this up 1 month after Seluk last spoke out, but the day that Yaya returned to training after missing a week from a migraine.
I don't know why he chose to have this fight now, but this is definitely happening because Guardiola wants it to - he was the one who decided to take it public.
It's been long overdue. No sympathy for Yaya or Seluk, the sooner they fuck off the better.

Concisely put Pablo, well said.His poor performances over the last 18 months were already doing that for many. Coupled with 3 years of nonsense from his agent (and by extension Yaya himself) have only served to sully it more.
Love what he's done for us and I'll never forget his part in an unbelievable 3 years but personally I'll never hold him in as high esteem as the likes of Zaba/Kompany/Silva. There's more to creating a legacy than being a talented footballer in my eyes.

Which one do you mean Glasgow or Stalybridge?He probably can play on till he's 40 but it would have to be somewhere like Celtic.
Yeah, I appreciate that. That's why I said me personally as I know for many he'll always be regarded as a legend.That's fair enough. Everything's relative after all, and you're comparing him to three players I adore. I still admire him greatly, and any off the field nonsense won't change that. He's one of our most important ever players.

Pretty much sums up my take on it.

A fantastic player and made more brilliant because of us, right player, right time syndrome to take us to heights we hadn't experienced for decades. Played for himself and the team he was attached to and that team was us, we've been beneficiaries and thankful for it, whether he'll appreciate us as a club that afforded his acclaim is up to him.
What a top class stupid fucking post.
Not really. You think Pep would say the same if Aguero's agent came out with the same stuff? Or do you think there would be talks to solve the situation. Thanks for the top class reply though.
So you've invented a situation to make City look bad. Why would someone do that?
I've not invented anything. Pep has sidelined a player he would have sidelined anyway.

He was Ric. The club are rightly pushing on now.

You're trying to presume a different scenario to make a controversial statement. That's exactly what Seluk has come out with. Talk about the situation, rather than bringing up people or analogies that are not even involved with this issue. Your comments are not a million miles away from the justification that Seluk is using for his client. Pause...and think. Then hopefully you may see the comparisons for yourself.Not really.

I don't need to pause or think and I'm not trying to presume anything nor am i trying to make a controversial statement. I am adding my opinion that although it is great that someone has spoken out about Toure's agent, i do believe it is easy for him to do so as the player is not wanted.
If he was in the team and then he came out and said it and dropped him then i would say it was a magnificent show of who is boss, as it is what has he been dropped from? It's a win win situation for Pep, he doesn't want him and he knows the agent will never apologise so he will never have to answer each week on why Yaya Toure is not involved.
Cannot see the comparisons between myself and his agent so if you would enlighten me on that it would be much appreciated but try and do it in a less condescending way.

Can't do that I'm afraid. Your reply was far too long and yet totally missed the point.

There's no fishing to bite anything on, it was a genuine question.
Pep isn't stupid, he knows what he is doing and it couldn't be any easier for him to do so. Stamp your authority and send a message to all the other agents out there over a player he wasn't going to use anyway. Do you really believe that if KDB or Aguero's agent came out and criticised the club at any time this season it wouldn't be sorted out behind closed doors in private rather than in the media and he would ban them from playing until they apologised? Come on. What Pep has done is fantastic and about time over a long and boring saga but he is a winner, just like Mancini is a winner and why he allowed Tevez to come back after vowing to never pick him again after what happend in Munich. Aleix Garcia is wanted more than Yaya and that was before Seluk came out with his usual nonsense.
Bemused to think why my opinion makes me Seluk Mk II but as you said you're quite entitled to it.

You could have possibly phrased it better, this is bluemoon ;-) I think people would be shocked if Kun's agent came out with things came out with things like this so we'll probably never knowThere's no fishing to bite anything on, it was a genuine question.

If he was taking the soft option as you suggest and wasn't game to make the hard decisions, then why did he send Hart packing?..that couldn't have been easy. Besides, he's sent Yaya on his way before. I don't think Pep is scared to make the hard decisions regardless of who it is as his history shows.
