Prestwich_Blue said:Here's a good example of why people shouldn't rush to conclusions. It's been established beyond doubt that Tevez refused to warm-up, having just done so, not to play. But in the heat of the moment Mancini said something that wasn't quite true but suited his narrative. And that's the line that still gets trotted out today, plus it meant we lost a key player for months.Uber Blues said:I was in Munich when a certain self centred individual player refused to play for City on that evening.
City seem to have handled this very well, being calm and doing their talking out of the public eye with careful briefings. And the agent is now looking like a complete dickhead and he's harmed his client's profile as well.

I can't see a happy end to this.
Should have stopped right there.ElanJo said:That Sun 'journalist'
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 ?
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.
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!!!!!
I don't care any more about fookin Yaya he's dead to me now, fuck him and fuck his agent, get rid of the whole travelling circusjonmcity said:Matt the Giant said:Isn't he effectively threatening the club?

Barca must have come back and said they are not prepared to pay € 45m. Yaya needs to come out with the truth and get on with his job.
There's the key point, do we want Dimitri Seluk being in a position of influence over young players at the club and possibly representing them, forcing us to have to put up with more of this shit in the future? If he's part of the bargain then under no circumstances would I want Yaya to have a coaching role at the club.Dirty Harry said:Ridiculous amount of back-tracking, I can't imagine the club haven't already earmarked Yaya for a coaching role at the club, probably the biggest star (or at least one of them) to come out of Africa, who kids idolise and dream of being coached by, shouldn't even be an issue, the sort of thing that would put us, as a club, in a really good position.
Fuck-off Seluk !
