Rather than 'precious' i think its more the case that people are proud and protective of the club they love,when someone attempts to take the piss,or cause it hurt,then that person is correctly lambasted imo.
When the disrespect is the fact that someone hasn't actually said a word ... then I see it as precious.
We have had players in the past who seriously disrespected us but this is just laughable.

I'm not suggesting he's not guilty by association before anyone starts, I'd just like to see where Yaya is quoted saying that.
The first tweet was the Brit PR lady, she thought she was doing her job attempting to minimise the fall out from the Sun interview.
It was removed and replaced by Seluk in agreement with Yaya.
Yaya has since reinforced the subsequent tweets by giving a television interview confirming Seluk and he are in constant contact and everything is now "in the open"
So Yaya didn't actually say that? And that tweet has subsequently been removed too....hmmmmm
Could reverse that. There's not much to go on, other than Yaya's agent. And is this what some agents tend to do in the close season?oakiecokie said:Rolee said:tolmie's hairdoo said:Code:

Perhaps you'd like to explain how you think the club should handle it instead of making a throw-away remark?
The floor is yours.

Do nothing. No disrespect has been shown by the player. Therefore the club has made no comment - as they should. Thankfully there is no opportunity for the stupid media to ask stupid questions so the club is in a fine position.
Anyone who feels disrespected by a man being silent is being a bit of a drama queen in my opinion.
His agent is a mental motor mouth and the club may have an issue with him but again silence is the best policy.
If Yaya comes out tomorrow and says he thinks we are a shitty club then we should get our back up but I would be shocked if he ever said anything bad about the club.

You really believe no disrespect has been shown by the player? You cannot see he is using Borat as his proxy and the aforesaid bitch has cynically advised him to remain silent in order to keep all options open?
And the club's strategy should be to wait and see until after the WC?
Just clarifying.

Yes.

The same people would probably stick with their missus after finding out she'd been shagging around just because she's a stunner and they don't fancy their chances of pulling someone that fit again.
He's had plenty of opportunity to calm the waters, most notably when appearing with that smarmy **** Richard Keys the other night. The fact he deliberatly stayed quiet on the affair, bar the "after the World Cup" nonsense says everything.
It'll be a sad end for a player whose brought us so much in his time here, but we're no longer the club who relies on a big fat wedge to entice players, we've evolved so much in the last few years that we can offer so much more - if he can't see that or no longer wants to be part of it then so be it.
Well said mate, I can't believe he dosn't want to leave at least on good terms. At least then he could have one day come back and I reckon he'd recieve a great welcome like the goat does and kinky recently. Not much chance of that happening now and the saddest thing of all is it looks like he dosn't give a fuckPablo1 said:He could take off his shirt after scoring to reveal 'come and get me PSG or Barca' during the World Cup and still there'd be apologists for him who claim that his nasty agent told him to wear it!

tolmie's hairdoo said:ColinLee said:Interestingly (or not maybe) Tevez's 'agent' like Yaya's is no such thing. Neither are licensed agents with Fifa which means they can never be held accountable for their actions. Licensed agents can be heavily sanctioned by Fifa including having their license revoked.tolmie's hairdoo said:It's not what the agent is saying though, is it?
Yaya is on record as endorsing those ridiculous statements by then stating: "my agent speaks for me."
At what stage do you think it was necessary for Toure to distance himself from these accusations?
Unless you think waiting until after the World Cup is just a happy coincidence?
Seriously, bud, this is high stakes poker at work.
His agent revealed their hand because his bluff has been called.
Yaya is well aware that he kisses goodbye to millions in contractual loyalty payments should he go on the record publicly with such shite.
He's praying the next eight weeks can allow Seluk's dirty work to achieve his aims.
Same reason Kia followed the same method for Tevez.
Difference was, that was mid-season and even he didn't legislate for Carlos doing a bunk.
As things stand, I actually have more respect for Tevez.
At least he had the 'bollocks' to submit an official transfer request.
And its since emerged that Mancini probably did get his wires crossed during that night in Munich, with no player able to back up the manager's claims?
Funnily enough, Toure thought Mancini was great, as he used to indulge him above all others, including Mario.
Perhaps the new regime doesn't feel the necessity to indulge him to that extent?
