Some right tits about. Regardless of what may or may not have happened... Yaya has contributed greatly to this club and due to his contribution, we continue to drive forward. If he does want to leave, then all the best to him, he'll go down as one of the greatest players to ever play for the club. It was the same with Tevez, but should it happen then we need to avoid such dramas and let him go.
Though as for the birthday stuff, it's just his agent waffling on about shite. There's likely something else that's gone on... and I wouldn't be surprised if it's something to do with Marwood, the guy is a tit. I still can't believe he wasn't sacked after THAT transfer window.
But going back to Yaya, if he wants out... then let him go and we could do with avoiding a tug of war just like we did with Tevez. If he stays, great.
If we are letting him go though, then it's crucial that we replace him with someone equally as good as him. I've already said we should try our luck at snatching Pogba and making some sort of deal with Juve. Problem is there is only a handful or maybe even less of those on par with Yaya Toure.
