Re: Yaya Toure
Losing a brother whilst you carry on with your life must be very traumatic and produce all kinds of emotion and guilt.
I'm not sure if supporters at such a distance make much of a difference, but Yaya Toure needs his family and team mates now.

Re: Yaya Toure
The reality is that no-one has any idea whatsoever. We can come on here slagging him off, not slagging him off, saying he will still be here next season or he won't.
Personally, I have loved most of the football he has played whilst he's been here. He has contributed to some unforgettable moments in the last few years and I, for one, will always remember that.
If he now wishes to depart this wonderful club, then so be it. If he wishes to stay, then I am happy with that too. No players feel about any club the way we do and they never will. It is, literally, a job.
The only thing I find objectionable with the vast majority of today's footballers, is their inability to be truthful. Men as rich as Croesus, as they are, should have the guts to say they are not happy request a transfer. I know the poor things would then have to forego their 'loyalty' bonuses but hey ho!
As for Yaya in particular. We will carry on with or without him. Football teams must evolve or they will fall. I think we will do the former. Look at Atletico in recent years. Sold everyone and just won La Liga. Baconface sold many 'irreplaceable' players. Didn't do him much harm.
With or without him here's to another rollercoaster next season.

If Luiz is worth 50m then YaYa is at least worth that

He has done OK for us, but he has gone missing in as many games as he has won for us, if we can get £20 million of PSG I'd snap their hand off.

Re: Yaya Toure
why doesn't he just say i want to leave I have done what I said I will do, now for a new challenge, but no because he will want his slice of the pie to leave,

Re: Yaya Toure
tolmie's hairdoo said:Far too many blues crediting Toure with too much intelligence.
I haven't referred to his other name since he sanctioned that cake bollocks from his agent.
Rather than Vinny or Zab, he's now just another player who we could easily be talking about at another club.
I have mentioned it a while back, but it won't be for more money, it's boredom.
Just like Mario, there comes a point when Manchester grows too small for some.
Balotelli stopped turning up for training, taking his agitation to the next level.
Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, they all have their appeal.
Surely this summer transfer window is the best time to sell him. He has had an unbelievable season but he is 31 now and his stock will not get any higher. No player is bigger than the club and we are not the same team as we were 3 or 4 years ago. What a disgraceful way to go about getting a transfer. The sooner he goes the better for me! Does anyone think that City will sell him.
City won't let him rot, and Toure is making our minds up with each passing day.
Nobody would have begrudged him wanting a fresh challenge, but he has proved with this gameplan to extricate himself that he is not the type of person we need representing us in years to come.
It makes me smile that Lescott, a player who I always felt was not good enough, showed true class throughout and will always be welcomed back as one of us.
...despite not having 20 per cent of Toure's talent.
That says more about us as a club and set of fans than Yaya ever could.

Re: Yaya Toure
Wage and age mate, these factors will negate anything over 30m.
If we got the 30 offered i would sign it, seal and deliver it with fast twitch reactions not recorded in a human before.
I read the original quotes and he does point the finger at us and it is not on.

Re: Yaya Toure
City have an excellent recent record of granting compassionate leave of absence to their players. They are insisting that had Yaya requested leave they would have granted it. I read the article in French and it is quite unambiguous - "City were not prepared to grant me time off...".
We all feel upset for him about his tragic loss, there's no doubt at all. I'm sure the club do. It must be terrible for him.
But to slag the club off on for a supposed (and flimsy) reason is just not on.
Respect works both ways, young man.
Unless the French rag has completely invented his statement, as some people are implying........

"Rag" can mean a rubbish journal as well as a Utd player.
Both are a pile of excrement.

Re: Yaya Toure
You wonder why he didn't ask (or press) the club specifically to stay at home to be with his brother. You wonder why he did take of to train with the national team of Ivory Coast straight away. You wonder why he went to the WC, or at least wonder why he (and Kolo) stayed at the WC when their brother did finally die?
I always like to here two sides of a story. Especially a story from or about Yaya in a French newspaper. But the club has never been like this ever, so why would they have had any reason to do so at that particular moment of events? And forgot his birthday(cake) in the next few days as well?
IF (again IF) Yaya has said and meant these words I say he's either mixed up in his head due to emotions by the death of his brother (in which case I will go soft on him), or he did this on purpose to try and get whatever he's after (in which case I would just want him to go somewhere else asap).

Re: Yaya Toure
Not just the players - remember the compassionate leave granted to Mancini?
My understanding is that culturally it is extremely likely that if taken by Khaldoon or anyone higher up the chain the decision would have been to allow him some compassionate leave. However it is possible that the decision was taken by someone below Khaldoon.

Re: Yaya Toure
There is absolutely no way that City would have refused compassionate leave.
Why would they? They would have granted it had it been about missing the final game of the season never mind an after season jolly.
And had they denied him, are you telling me he wouldn't have told the to shove it. Believe me, had Toure not wanted to go he wouldn't have gone.
So where does that leave us.
1. The paper has printed bollocks.
2. Toure's agent is mixing shit again.
3. Toure wants out.
If it's 1 or 2 then Toure should be coming out and rubbishing all the crap that's being written. The fact that he isn't tells me that 3 is the real story.
I'll be gutted to see him go but to be honest, I hate hearing shite about our club, where it's true or not my thoughts towards him have massively changed.
