Him and Casper the friendly Ghost cannot go back and reverse all of the damage that was done. If he does stay how does that translate to field? Will his teammates trust him? Will Pellegrini? The players and the manger have to just as confused as we all are.

the latest SSN interview with Seluk is truly bizarre - all Yaya wants is a part-time job when he finishes playingBillyShears said:gio's side step said:BillyShears said:Just curious but those people saying that it's a storm in a teacup etc. How will you feel if the next story to break is that Toure wants to move to Chelsea ?
The only reason I ask is because there are rumours doing the rounds in Spain, and at least one paper out there has written that Barcelona have zero interest in him but that this escapade is because Mourinho is the manager who wants him.
If that turns out to be true then there will be IMO all out war this summer. Part of me is beginning to think that one or two clubs who know we have a transfer limit and are trying to weaken us further.
I know the club don't make statement and I respect that totally. However in this instance I feel that if there is one more outburst from his agent or from the player himself then the club need to address it either publicly or privately to gag them both. Otherwise it will be a long summer.
Mate, I generally respect a lof of your posts. But come on. This is turning into hysterical hypotheticals which are about the size of the grand canyon.
Actually that's not the case at all. I think maybe you're losing sight of just how big a commodity Toure is and you're certainly underestimating Mourinho and Chelsea's capacity to fuck with other PL clubs.
So we're clear also ... i'm anything but hysterical. I've already said doesn't really matter to me whether he stays or goes because one man won't make the team. However I do think that the "storm in a teacup" brigade are in for a nasty surprise as events unfold in the coming days and weeks.
This won't go away quietly if that's what you're thinking.

It's Spain to start with, the amount they get right makes the sun info seem gospel
And you really think he'd go to Chelsea because of Maureen?? Do me a favour billy, he'd be back to 7/8 a season...... It's money driven and that's a cert, he won't get that at the chavs, PSG or barca, city is another story!!!!!

This.
I've been absolutely amazed at the utter bollocks I've read recently, apparently Yaya is a "****" and not even our best player!
I love Yaya, he is by far the best player in the team, above "El Mago" David Silva and Saint Vincent and even Sergio. He has remained relatively injury free for most of the last three seasons and frankly the team has been built around him and his excellent passing and vision.
(I have been wrong on numerous occasion's particularly on Pelligrini and immediately apologized for being so wrong about him, but I must admit losing Yaya would feel like a major blow to our ambitions to dominate this league for the next 2-3 seasons, I'm not sure anyone else can provide the team what he offers).

Why would Pellegrini and the players be confused. We have to rely on the media for our information. They have a direct line to him.

So you think that tweet being deleted signifies the end of this situation?
Publically for now yes.
he's got 3 years left on his contract Billy but I think the offer of Chappy's old job will solve the problemBillyShears said:Zin 'messiah' Zimmer said:BillyShears said:Just curious but those people saying that it's a storm in a teacup etc. How will you feel if the next story to break is that Toure wants to move to Chelsea ?

City would NEVER sell to Chelsea. I'm not saying they would.
But tell me ... do you put it past Mourinho to have a go at unsettling Toure baring in mind he's only got a year left on his contract ?

I take it you missed his agent's new interview.
