Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

Re: Yaya Toure

The problem for Yaya is that, at the moment, we're all really disappointed in him.

If he leaves it until after the world cup to communicate with the club and the fans, I think any apology (should that be forthcoming) will fall on deaf ears and that disappointment will have been replaced with irretrievable disgust.

He needs to speak now whilst he still has a chance.

People warmed back to Tevez pretty quickly - although never truly forgot his antics.
I suspect the same will be true of Toure if he returns. Fans are fickle, and if he's sticking the ball in the back of the net, we'll soften. Woe betide him if he has a few bad games though... the howling mob will be gunning for him

Tevez was different. At one point he was largely a blessing in an otherwise mediocre attacking force. He hated the rags and his playing style demands praise. However, it was always known he could be a bit of a cock. So no one was particularly surprised. Plus, the reasons he gave for leaving included being closer to his family which, true or not, couldn't be laughed at or considered disrespectful. Yaya has acted like an utter cock out of nowhere. That is why it is more shocking.

Re: Yaya Toure

The interview was done before this drama.
Everyone calm down, he WILL be playing for us next season.

And after all he has done for us he deserves more respect.

Correct.

I'm all for criticising him for his behaviour, but the video is entirely innocent.

Nope, he was boiling the kettle mate.

are you sure of that ?

in any case...it was after the city trip to abu dhabi ...so relatively recent

What makes you think it was after the Abu Dhabi trip?
It was weeks ago I believe.

They make it SOUND like it's recent, because of they way they say 'he's currently in Qatar' then show footage, but the interview is much earlier.

I'm pretty sure it was done yesterday as they said he was preparing for the world cup
He has really done himself some damage and his timing,when we are celebrating shows me he feels sod all for us,so he can fuck off

Re: Yaya Toure

Sorry but unless there is some sort of apology then we punt him on but our terms

Insist on a transfer request
Will only sell to Non EPL clubs
Minimum sell price what we paid for him

If he dont or wont then we keep but omit him from the CL squad

Not gutted nor angry its modern day football but if this clubs spends a fucking penny increasing his current contract then they are mad

No player is bigger than the team or the club if he wanted to go then so be it but his gob shite "agent" really took the piss

Ty Yaya but goodbye

Sounds good in theory, but in practice, we had this issue with Tevez.

If we leave him out of CL, we end up with with a disgruntled player who is losing value by the day and causing unrest in the squad.
If we keep playing him, we basically have to hope he plays well to sell himself to potential suitors.
Potential suitors know the situation and use it to drive his price down. It shifts the balance of power in their favour (not totally, but it does shift a bit).

We're under FFP scrutiny, so despite the Sheik's wealth, we still need to try and maximise his value (either in a sale, or on pitch performances). It's annoying, but player power is quite strong these days. He knows it too, which is why he's chosen to go down this path.

He is disgrunteld now so what have we got to loose

We wont be loosing any value providing he is playing in the league so if his performances are good then his value will remain - if they are shite he gets less chance of a move

FFP presumably we were always going to buy players so dont see the issue he is still available for league games

We had lots of issues with Tevez BUT he never won came back to the club and played the 6 ish games or so and did very well AND THEN we let him go

Sorry we cant loose this one
