I particularly remember the game against QPR and whilst Toure was in the dressing-room, no doubt talking to his agent about the forthcoming summer's Great British bake-off, Sergio Aguero popped the all-important goal in the net.He did nothing of the sort. He was also surrounded by some equally world class players.
Shweinstieger! Even bigger than Yaya, was sent to go play with kids. When you are not in the plans or when your talent wanes. This is what happens. The history of football is filled with these examples. Hence why it's not ballsy. It's quote common.Oh I see your point. It is just absurd to say that doing this doesn't take some balls. This is Yaya Toure, one of the best players of the past decade. A player who was World Class and carried this club to two titles. To say that because he is a fringe player now doesn't make that all go away or make it any easier to do. Typically a fringe player doesn't have world wide name recognition and the resume of Toure.
As for my view versus yours, you don't share anyone's view. Yaya is a **** and he is getting what he deserves.

A guy who couldn't make the bench for your CL qualifiers squad, your CL squad or the bench isn't really powerful.
I'm not saying they are the same at all. Was just pointing out aging big players can be and often are jettisoned without consequences. Thus I don't find it ballsy our manager is doing it to our aging big player.Totally different situation with Schweinsteiger. To the best of my knowledge he had done or said nothing wrong, before being jettisoned. Purely that Mourinho didn't want slow, past it players in his squad (mind you, Rooney's still there; must be a marketing thing).
Yaya may still have a chance, but has made a rod for his own back by letting his agent spout off, and essentially disrespecting the club and the manager. All he had to do was disassociate himself from the comments pronto. He didn't.
Not sure if already posted...also, this may be the second bottle of red talking but Yaya can fuck off, yes he did his stuff but it is so heavily tarnished. The situation i feared with Yaya kicking up a fuss has happened, happily Pep has dealt with it like i never really thought would happen, but dearly wanted to!
I would give him credit if i thought he felt happy for the fans just a bit when he did the biz. I do feel by the company he keeps shows he could not give a toss and his actions show it to me also. Basically i have no time for him at all and am happy as can be Pep has stuck it to him in this fashion.

He actually said all the Africans that follow City had gone over to the rags because of the way we had treated Yaya.
