Yaya Toure apologises

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

I miss how he ran the show at Barcelona. I look forward to the prodigal son's eventual return

Do you think you will be his next job?? Do you think he will ever manage the national team or do his Catalan roots run too deep for that??

Interesting to see the caff's take on things....

Seems most on there are of a similar mind set to us, thinking that Pep is taking the right course of action. Several of them wanting PEG to do similar with Wiggy.

Seluk thinks Yaya is some kind of special case, Pep doesn't. Pep judges every player on what they produce and not past glories. Footballs to short not to.

Yaya has been a great player for us and been involved in some big moments but all that is being eroded by his agents big mouth. If his agent continues to slate the club in a time when things are going great for us he's only going to alienate the fans even more and in turn their affection for want of a better word will lessen by the day for Yaya. Yaya only has one way to look for who's ruining his city legacy.

I seem to think he's pretty passionate on the Catalan thing.

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?

Caveat emptor.

I totally think Pep is first and foremost a Catalan but does that mean he would never manage the national team?

Sorry, Silva doesn't have a big personality?
I think you mean he's not an ego maniac.

Seluk is suggesting Pep only works with yes men & kids.
This is an insult to our players.

We have a squad full of big personalities. Pep is managing them just fine.

The apology is for the club, the players, the fans and Guardiola.

This conduct, Seluk's conduct, YaYa's conduct has not endeared him to the manager, so why you think the players would feel differently, I've no idea. Especially with zero evidence.

If Seluk & YaYa have pissed off the boss they all seem to adore, I'm sure any relationship players had with YaYa are souring quickly.

I don't think how the manager feels about a player's agent is particularly indicative of how the player's teammates will feel about the players. I don't know the players will think differently. But my sense is players don't share the same fervor fans do. I'm saying you wanting a player to put one in comes from the point of view of a fan. I am not sure actual players necesarily live the ups and downs that fans do. So its possible, perhaps even likely that no other player will feel such angst as to want to hurt Yaya in practice or kick him any harder over it. As for Seluk's words, I doubts they'll be parsing Seluk's words looking for slights like you've just done. You are a fan, so it makes sense you feel this way. They are workers... More likely than not, they care more about the footballing part of City, and their parts in that footballing and not inferring from some agent said that they didn't have big personalities.

I just don't see it. Like I said, I didn't play at such professional levels, so I cant tell you I know how these things play out. But at the semi pro level, It wouldn't register.

Revenge is dish best served cold.
Payback Mr Seluk.

Yaya should be one of the most loved and respected players we've ever had. We will always be grateful, but aligning yourself with that enormous tit has greatly tarnished your legacy.

Sky Soccer Special pundits and presenter just raised the Seluk response, Alan McInally just dissed the agent with a whole tyraid of perfect sarcasm. I hope other media pick up on it, it was classic.

Watched that, they were eulogising over us which makes a change until Cottee piped up with they're not running away with it yet, only played 5 league games so not likely to be are we??
Yes they all sides with Pep on this and like Gayle said, we've the financial to just say fuck off. He'll be out in January if not sooner.

And Pellers should apologise to Bobby and Bobby should apologise to the Clueless One and the Clueless one should apologise to Stuart Peirce and on and on. What a pair of tin-eared clowns Yaya and his agent are. Comedy duo.

It's about time pam that someone within the club took the slime ball to task,we have been to much of a soft touch in the past,pep has went up even further in my estimation of him after this,and it seems he has total control in all aspects regarding the players..
