Re: Yaya Toure
We said we wanted our transfer business done quickly so this has certainly thrown a spanner in the works. No doubt they'll be busy tomorrow looking at potential replacements.
tolmie's hairdoo said:de niro said:I'm not sure what is going on. What the truth is I really can't fathom, but I will say this, this is Manchester city, no player, and I mean no player holds a gun to our head. We can replace anyone whatsoever so any player thinking he's billy big bollocks had better think again. With 3 years on his contract we can do what the fuck we like. The one thing we Dont do is pay him more money. Give the lad a few months is the Carling cup squad and show him what a great negotiator his agent is. Us we'll just pop over and play our CL games like.
Can't do that mate, sadly.
It was proved with the Tevez issue that it does not make financial sense to stick a depreciating asset in the reserves.
The difference this time, we are not mid-season.
Which tells you all you need to know about the timing from Toure's camp.
There is always a way back, but I think Yaya has overreached on this one.
It may well have focused the club's minds on a life without Toure.
