What about those who think no player is bigger than our club? I know you don't like the idea of the banner but how do you honestly feel about people who believe that to be the case?Ballymagash Blue said:Lucky Toma said:Ballymagash Blue said:Great idea. And while we're at it, let's dust down the following banners:
City are more important than Argentina
Get your hair cut
Don't duck in the wall
Run a bit more Edin
We want Mancini back
Where's your sick note, sick note
That'll tell 'em.
Yeah yeah we get it. You have pious contempt for Blues. You've made your point.
Contempt for those who viciously abuse our players.
Yes, absolutely, based on what have been said so far by me, it is a reasonable to conclude thatpudge & rodge said:Again, I'm not.Blueband Brother said:pudge & rodge said:I think you'll find I said the only thing the media have carried is the portrayal of how bizzare the story is; that Yaya and his agent have become laughing stocks and they only have themselves to blame for that. To different extents of course.
I also said that it's not unfair for those to claim that Yaya isn't ignorant to the situation.
Again, I only disagree with your notion that the media is making things worse; Seluk and Yaya have made this what it is, again to different extents. I'm not saying "sell Yaya/he's a ****/let's burn him", I agree that we should wait for the full story. I just believe that people are entitled to their opinion based on the events that have actually transpired over the past two days.
You've gone off on a tangent of double talk for no reason, as you're debating irrelevant points in this discussion.
My message is clear, media will sensationalized, spice and manulpilate the story to make it more attractive and my advice is that we should wait and see and not rely on what the media is saying.
There is no need to comment on who is going of topic because my message has been there for all too read, forget the mainstream media, wait for tangible news about Yaya's future. If you want to make conclusions and blame Yaya for whatever reason or trigger then it is your right and inclination
You merely seem to be projecting so I'll leave it at that.

Nobody minds considered criticism.
But how often has Yaya Toure been called a c*nt on these pages. Seriously, how depressing is that? And why are more of us not objecting? I'm a lifelong City fan and find this stuff really difficult to understand.
Maybe this is a cultural thing and I live in a part of the world where that sort of vile abuse is not acceptable. I am angry at the fans on this thread abusing Yaya Toure. And more of us bloody well should be.

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.

Blue Is the Opposite of Blue said:I've stayed out of this as much as possible because I've still got next to no idea what's going on, but people are far too quick to forget what Yaya has done for us.
He won us the FA Cup with two huge goals at Wembley, he won us the title with two crucial goals away to Newcastle, he scored the greatest goal I've seen live in a stadium to get us back in the League Cup final and his return to the squad this spring rejuvenated our title chase.
All of a sudden, a crazy story leaked by his agent and a few tweets later - the source of which absolutely none of us are aware of - Yaya Toure is public enemy number one. Why? Because the story has been allowed to fester and boil.
This has been a very poorly managed attempt at getting a better contract before he retires and nothing more. He's not threatened to leave, his only mistake was letting his agent grab hold of every microphone within touching distance.
We forgave Tevez despite the fact he abandoned us for 6 months after falling out with Mancini, we can surely forgive Yaya Toure. The first few games back will be difficult and there will be teething problems but we'll all get over it.

But it does work like this in life. You fight your corner and much as I may think his agent has done Yaya no favours in terms of making Yaya look a bit of a tit you can't deny his tactics haven't worked. Right now the world and his dog know the saga of Yaya and his 'unhappiness' and City are in a position where they have to sit down with Yaya and smooth this over - presumably by showering Yaya with gifts and pouring honeyed words in his shell like. In short Yaya wants to feel the love and Khaldoon to present him with falcons on his birthday, you know a bit like his 'Qatari friends'
So why on earth would Yaya get rid of the guy whose sole purpose in life is to say what Yaya is to polite to say and consequently get exactly what Yaya wants?
Especially when it works.
