Yaya Toure apologises

It might be stipulated in his contract that we have to allow him to train. Unless we can just force him to train alone?

Make him mop the toilets and showers as well as picking up the rubbish in City Square, we can call it cardio work to help him get into shape.

I can assure you Toure is a fairly unpopular member of the squad. Toure, his agent and his behaviour will not have endeared him to his team mates.
Did you not notice Pep's wording, it was to apologise to the club first.
I have played in plenty of sides where there's been a big time Charlie who time is up.
They walk round blaming everyone else, every misplaced pass is everyone else's fault.
The moaning, the histrionics will not improve his popularity.

When the rest of the squad is working their nuts off as a team to achieve a common goal, yet there's one lumbering around with his agent spouting utter shite about their manager, their chances of success. His friends will soon fuck him right off.

IF most of the above were true, sure. When I played we generally had an unspoken rule: Not a word about another man's money. Everyone did there best for themselves financially and worked hard in practice. Seluk is not about practice. He is about the money end of things. Generally every player stays clear of other player's money talk. I know Seluk matter more than just about money for his client. But to other players. that what agants represent: Your money.

Yaya isn't blaming anyone else for a pass put wrong. There probably isn't any histroinics or moaning. More likely than not, he is quiet and solemn. Does is bit, but doesn't say make a fuss. His teammates are his teammates. While some might not agree with his agent acting the fool, most understand. I am willing to bet very few hold it against him. Fans? Sure! They are much more emotionally attached. Players aren't.

Correct,saw him give Tosin down the banks at a corner as Tosin asked him to mark someone stood behind him.Such a shame hes going under a cloud but fuck him and his agent.Well done Pep.

do you think (or know) that that is what happened...i was too very suspicious of the "headache" excuse given at weekend....do you think Peps outburst is in reaction to this and has been sanctioned from higher up? He didn't really need to say anything as the reporters weren't exactly grilling him and he could have carried on with the narrative that he has used since he has got here ...eg. "I know Yaya's qualities, he is training well, I need him to do more when we don't have the ball"...Its seems to me that the " headaches" were one step too far for Pep/the club possibly?????

This is definitely sanctioned at the top. TXiki and Pep work as a team and this is a great example.

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.

Listening to that, there's no way that's a real person. That's some comedy character. Has anyone any idea what Sasha Baron Cohen's been up to lately?

Im not disagreeing with anything Pep is saying but more thinking about that this could cause unwanted media attention and distraction when we don't really need it. Say what you want behind close doors and when the player leaves say it openly but while he is at the club then I think keeping it private would have been the best course of action.

Pep actually seems quite pissed off when he is speaking about it - again understandably but Im just surprised at the timing as weren't Seluks comments a couple of weeks back...wonder why he chose now to just blurt it out (or was it calculated?) cause of something that has happened over the last few days?,

Well he's missed four days this week with a headache.

that will do for me...looks like we tried to get rid nt he summer and it didn't happen so we are giving him a push

more money with yaya's wages off the books for some hungry young players to come in
 
Basically it is a way of finishing him without saying so. No way will two people with ego's as big as Toure and his gobshite agent apologise so that is burying that.

Oh yeah it was a great answer, not just the wtf, but the stare.

Yep. The silence was brilliant. I bet the other journalists near the bloke just very, very slowly edged away from him, and when Guardiola looked back up there was just that one journalist on his own with everyone else just whistling and looking at the ground!

When Yaya and his jizz jerk of an agent finally fuck off from the club, they will be selling their sorry sordid story to the highest bidding tabloid on how harshly Yaya Toure was treated by Manchester City in their draconian work house environment.

Will read like a scene from Oliver Twist!

false analogy. Yaya (until late in the season,) was a key player for Pelegrini, so yes Pele probably would not have done it. But the real comparison would be what would Pelegrini have done to Jovetic if Jovetic's agent had been unruly? That's the correct analogy i.e. a player that couldn't make your CL squad. Couldn't even make the bench for your qualifier squad on the road. Comparing Yaya at the beginning of Pel's reign to Yaya at the beginning of Pe's is a false comparison.

The key here is, even a ball boy can tell off a fringe player. Yaya since Pep got here has been a fringe player, so telling him off is mad easy. That was my point. It's not impressive to tell off a fringe player. Which Yaya currently is.

Jesus, you will sure torture the hell out of some logic to make your narrative work.
