"Dimitry Seluk says Yaya Toure will want to stay at #mcfc if they offer him a coaching role"

Sky Sports Amy Lewis just tweeted

It was mis-heard. He said a swiss roll.

Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain will hold peace talks with Yaya Toure before the World Cup in an attempt to head off further trouble with the Ivory Coast midfielder.

Toure’s agent Dimitry Seluk attracted widespread ridicule on Tuesday by claiming that the player could quit City this summer because he felt the new Premier League champions and their owner Sheik Mansour did not make enough of an effort to celebrate his 31st birthday during a post-season trip to Abu Dhabi last week.

There are concerns that Seluk is trying to engineer a return to Barcelona for his client, who left the Nou Camp in a £24million deal in 2010 and has since established himself as one of City’s best players, as well as one of the best paid.


Toure scored 24 goals from 49 appearances last season as Manuel Pellegrini’s side regained the title and lifted the Capital One Cup.

City have taken a firm stance by insisting Toure will not be sold as he still has three years left on a £200,000-a-week contract signed 12 months ago.

However, they want to maintain a conciliatory approach and are anxious not to let the problem escalate following claims from Toure that he will issue a statement after the World Cup.

Begiristain was already planning to be in Brazil for the tournament but his priority will now be to set up talks with the player to smooth things over.

Toure arrived in Dallas from Qatar on Wednesday with the rest of the Ivory Coast squad to prepare for warm-up games against Bosnia and El Salvador.

It is understood that City will counter accusations by Seluk that they have treated Toure ‘like a nobody’ and showed him no respect by reminding the player how he was given a lucrative new deal last year after more bizarre claims that he wanted to leave because there were not enough shirts bearing his name on sale in the club shop.
Peacemaker: Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain will talk with Toure before the World CUP

£47million - Since making his big-money move to Barcelona in 2007, Yaya Toure has earned approximately £47m in wages alone. That includes contracts of around £40,000-a-week at Barcelona and a weekly wage of more than £200,000 at City.

PS

It’s not just wages that Yaya pockets - in his time at City the midfielder has earned around £6m in image rights and £4m in bonuses.

City also fought his case when he was subjected to racist abuse from CSKA Moscow fans in October, and lobbied for him to be named Player of the Year ahead of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, who won the award.

Begiristain hopes to have more time on his hands in Brazil because City are confident that all their transfer business will be wrapped up before the tournament after chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak promised ‘an efficient and swift execution plan’.

They retain a strong interest in Eliaquim Mangala having failed to sign the FC Porto centre back before the transfer window closed in January. But they are growing concerned that the £35m-rated defender is dragging his feet after claiming that he would prefer to join Chelsea.

It is understood that City have two stand-by options, one of whom is Mehdi Benatia from Roma.

Hopefully that will be everything sorted..

Re: Yaya Toure

One assumes that kolo has a similar intellect to Yaya.
And we all know about the second hand car story.
This is like listening to Irish Steve and the grannies.
I'm going to bed.

Re: Yaya Toure

If he stays, I don't want anything too aggressive coming from the stands,
maybe a banner reading...

"No player is bigger than the club"

It would certainly let the sulky one know what we think, without causing too much trouble.

Good luck getting that in the stadium. Likelihood is that you won't care by the time the first game of the season comes around.

The only thing "aggressive" coming from the stands will be just arsey drunkards shouting at him. Will he hear it? Doubt it. Will he give a fuck? I doubt that even more.

I doubt he would get any abuse worth talking about. But I also doubt he will be held in quite such high esteem from now on, that's all.

Great idea. And while we're at it, let's dust down the following banners:

Run a bit more Edin

Rightly so, too.

He's maybe lost potential LEGEND status with the fans because of this pathetic episode but I doubt he will care much.

Just keep doing what you do best Yaya, or get the fuck away from my club and take that parasitic pretend agent with you, if you do.

Re: Yaya Toure

I feel his agent is taking the piss and that they're trying to hold the club to ransom, and bend over for Yaya, which is wrong. It doesn't work like this in life, you have to earn your spot.

A minimum requirement for me now is his agent has to be fucked off permanently if he wants to stay, I won't be happy otherwise and I won't be happy if City bow to any of his demands, if he wants respect he earns it, if he wants admiration he earns it, if he wants a coaching role he earns it, this is petulance and immaturity of the highest order and I hope City see right through him.

HIs agent is a thick c*nt - Yaya has 3 years left on his contract and he has no influence on any decisions City will make - he can shoot his mouth all he wants, the vast majority of people are laughing at him and unfortunately he's also making Yaya a laughing stock!!! Is the bloke a sandwich short of picnic??

This is getting more bizarre now with coaching role comments ....

We could also have a designated section for the 'Bluer than you crew' surrounding the tunnel, to act as a buffer for all the terrible abuse all the players get..

Re: Yaya Toure

Ok it's difficult to get across to you and thanks for following my posts. I will start by commenting that' the because media 'post should make complete sense as it stresses my message of not letting the media influence our judgement just yet as it is in their own nature to sensationalise this even more to get more clicks and push their message across.Because media doesn't make Sense? lol, you just said I am highlighting the media's role in this and you then say it doesn't make sense?
As I have said, anybody with a clear mind and is not predisposed to call him names any chance they get will see that there is no point to infer from this just yet.It will be clear in due time but I understand that it is difficult for some.
Concerning the agents, we should not pretend that agents do not behave in this matter.Based on the information floating around in the media, he has certainly put Yaya in a very unenviable situation and I am sure Yaya will have discussions with him when the time comes. The media will run this story but my message is not to allow them turn you (well not You) against the player and don't feed on the constant speculations. The world cup is near, we have our website and other trusted sources and as I have said, I will wait until it is clear and I implore others with a clear mind to do the same.

Yes, it doesn't make sense. It's not a sentence nor grammatically correct..

Agents are scum in football yes, but do you honestly believe Yaya's agent is doing all these interviews and saying everything he has without Yaya's consent and knowledge?

And again, nothing has been sensationalized, his agents words and actions and Yaya's lack of such have led to people's opinions on the matter not "because media"

Grammatically correct?, you are obviously not thinking clearly if you are willing to believe that the purpose of the post was to be grammatically correct.Read that post again then draw the distinction between a formal post and an informal post carrying the same message.
As I said, you can feed on this speculation as you wish as it may nourish you opinions about the guy in the first place which perhaps compels you to debate this but my message is clear, perhaps not to you but to others, the media will run with this so remain clear minded and wait until certain things are established. Yaya's intentions will be obvious in due course and I will wait for that time before I call him names or draw conclusions but it is up to you to enjoy this situation with Yaya.

While you two are arguing over "grammar" there have ... Or is it has been movement in the story!!! ? Anyway, the Yaya plot thickens! unravels, gets weirder !!!
