Re: Yaya Toure
Yaya and his agent have said everything, and anything the papers write are aimed at the laughing stock Yaya has made himself.
That's about the 3rd time you've said this, but the media aren't doing anything.Blueband Brother said:The power and influence of the media is on full display in this thread. It is a shame people cannot rise above it.

Re: Yaya Toure
to be honest when i first heard about this through a colleague at work who had heard it on the radio on the drive into work that morning i laughed it off and said it has to be complete bollocks and no chance this could be true...
im absolutely astounded that there is any truth to this - fucking pathetic!!!

Re: Yaya Toure
I think we've stopped slagging Yaya off now, and opted to turn on each other.
It's just passing time. It's not real. It's the interweb.
If WE got upset by the lack of respect shown on these forums, we'd all have handed in transfer requests years ago.

I hope we keep him, and he gives his all for the club as he did last season. That's what we should be hoping for.
City's bosses have made it known that he's staying so the sooner you all stop slagging him off the better. He's our player. I wish he'd get rid of that agent. When we lodged a bid with Barca, Seluk said his player would not sign for City. But he did. Last Summer, or the year before, I forget which he said Yaya would leave. Yaya has a habit of not doing what his agent says.

Re: Yaya Toure
Let's wait till Barça tell they will not sign him and this story will be over.
I also hope we keep him.

Bad news. It gets worse!
The rest of the squad have said they're all leaving because Yaya didn't give them party bags. We're doomed.

Re: Yaya Toure
That's why I said practically guarentees. You only have to look at Yaya and Ibrahimovic's CV to see that they have been successful at a number of clubs and have been instrumental in that success. Yaya has proved that he will step up to the mark when it matters.
Tevez was never considered the best player in the world in his position and there are plenty of players who can do a similar role to Tevez. Yaya on the other hand is a unique player. There is no midfielder in the world who can play the way he does, the man has got everything in his locker ability wise.
City might not dictate transfer fees but we do dictate if Yaya stays or goes. Letting him go for anything under £40 million will hinder the squad simple as.
The selling club will have a valuation of the player based on his contract length and importance to the team. As will the buying club. If Barca don't want to meet our valuation then tough shit and Yaya stays.
The cost of getting a suitable replacement for Yaya will cost £30+ million so why sell him for anything less?

There's next to no resale value for a club paying 40 million for him, and they'll get what - a couple of decent years from him?. It won't happen.
It's not about a resale value though.
Players like Yaya and Ibrahimovic practically guarantee success. Barcelona can not afford to have another trophyless season next year and Toure will be the difference between them winning the league and narrowly missing out.
Yaya might only have two seasons whilst playing at his current level but he will have at least another three playing at his previous Barcelona level as a defensive midfielder.
Put it this way, if any team was to sign Toure on a three/four year deal for £40 million it would be money well spent. When you look at figures being banded about for the likes of Kroos and Pogba who are not a patch on Yaya and never will be, then £40+ million is what we should demand.
Buying a player guarantees nothing. It never has and never will. I've been watching football for long enough to know that.
When we bought him, quite a few wondered if we were buying a dud. We didn't KNOW he'd turn out to be great.
We bought Robinho, that didn't work out so well.
Real bought Kaka - a player we believed could be the signing of the century. Didn't work out too well for him there.
Look at how Tevez IS still doing a great job at Juventus. There's a player who really HAS scored wherever he's played... there was no queue to buy him at anywhere near 40m, and he wasn't 31.
We can demand all we like, but City don't dictate transfer fees, the market does. The market doesn't pay 40m for 31 year old midfielders.

Re: Yaya Toure
This one case shows why agents are both necessary and a threat to the game. Footballers might have £50 million feet, but a 5p brain which needs guidance. Unfortunately, agents can be like greedy lawyers - and these lawyers don't have a rule book to even pretend to adhere to.
