I'm never going to live in a world where a player should be held accountable for an agent going over the top in his statements. Football agents are an ugly breed and if we're holding out for angelic football agents or intelligent self-representing footballers or intelligent footballers who've got a leash on their agents, we might as well give up now. Silva and Kompany acted like tossers last year by saying they'll leave unless Mancini is sacked, yet, we've managed to get over it and sing their praises.karen7 said:Skashion said:That was his agent.Rammy Blue said:I didn't realise all this was said, must have missed it. Is there a transcript of the interview?
Yaya has backed his agent by his silence and the i'll tell you when I am ready stance
It's on the back of his shirt. 42%.Robinho's Subbuteo said:I wonder how many City shirts/merchandise is sold that has Toure Yaya on it, as a percentage of all sales?
Oh, is that the reason? I always thought it was a Hitchhiker's Guide reference. Well, that's it then, he's got to go. His credibility is marred.gordondaviesmoustache said:It's on the back of his shirt. 42%.

Weren't you a Mancini fan?karen7 said:This is the second year running he has pulled this shit and when you are asked on a live tv interview to reassure the fans and you refuse, well he can fuck off.To do this a couple of days after winning the league and everyone being on a high is disgusting and mercenary is the only word for it

TCIB said:That is a weak argument skash.
Bayern and Dortmund never seem to have this hassle with players.
Just because others put up with petulant prima donna's does not mean we should or need nor have to.
OB1 said:The Toure camp are not currently handling themselves in a seemly manner but Yaya is the best player in the Premier League, IMO, and it would not be out of the ordinary for them to try and exploit that.
City can choose to stay quiet and dignified and play hard ball with a player who has three years left on his contract.
He handed in his resignation the day after we won the title.karen7 said:What has that got to do with yaya's behaviour?
Stay on topic,we do not need another mancini debate

Sorry, I thought your problem was the the timing and that he did it after everyone was 'on a high'.karen7 said:I know
If yaya wants to leave he should do the same
