Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Re: Yaya Toure

It always amazes me the upset and outrage when a player does this.

He isn’t a City fan.
He doesn’t come from Manchester.
Hes paid £250k a week to be here anyway.

Granted he does some great things on the pitch from time to time but if he wants to go let him go.....

He could have had icon status for life at the club but he obviously doesn’t care and doesn’t want it.
Fair enough. His loss. We all move on.


This may come as a shock to some of you but 70%/80% of our players would also prob go about getting a move like this.
Not just at our club though, all teams will have this issue.
They are footballers not fans of the club.

Out of our players id like and hope to think Kompany and Zabba wouldn’t ever leave on bad terms. I would hope they would explain that they won’t renew when their contract is in its last year, explain the reason, ie, one last challenge or try a new league and then we can all wish them well.

I think they both care about the club as we do. Maybe Hart too.

Can't agree with that. You get a player making noises this ridiculous, once or twice a season, and that's right across the board not just at City.

Re: Yaya Toure

It will be hard Tolm ..

How do you replace a one off ?

Ah, you're now confusing me with a football genius!

Big clubs seem to continue to win trophies, even after they have sold their stars.

If we stand still with Yaya, we only have the problem in two years time when he goes into his final 12 months and he is 33.

I think Vidal would be a great replacement, but I'm sure Juventus would want Jovetic in exchange.

If we did that (and I'm a Jovetic fan) we would still have best part of any Yaya fee to bring in a couple more big names.

People on big money to make big decisions like that.

I'd use the rest of Toure money to sign Reus from Dortmund.

Think of Reus, Vidal, Fernando and Mangala/Benatia....and all in budget.

Re: Yaya Toure

still cant believe all this, maybe he will stay, but his rep has been harmed for sure, we idolize him, yea hes does go missing sometime, but boy when he wants to hes unstaoppable, we as fans sing his name, but just cant get head around the fact all this is over a bloody birthday, he wont get the love we show him anywhere else imo, but if he wants to go, then go, no man is bigger than any team

Have to disagree. I would have no problem with Yaya if he came out and straight up said he has enjoyed his time at the club but wants a new challenge at PSG or to return to Barca. But the way he has gone about it is appalling and shown a complete lack of respect for the club, his teammates and the fans. Accordingly, I have no reason to respect him anymore.

I take your point and I know Football is different BUT

We all do jobs for companies by and large we didn't dream of working for one day.

We are all largely hired help paid to do jobs in return for money.

We all have good days and bad days and feel unappreciated from time to time.

In most companies you have to buy the cakes on your birthday.

BUT none of us would ever get away with slagging off and disrespecting our employers I public the way Yaya has. We'd all have received our P45 pronto and been down the street.

No one has loved watching Yaya more than me but the way the club handles this will define us for the foreseeable future - have we grown up, will we tolerate this repeated nonsense or is the sum greater than the parts? Yaya is one hell of a player but if we need to chose between Yaya and MCFC then there is no choice in my view.

Re: Yaya Toure

I love Yaya but if he wants to leave, so it will be his decision.

Paul Pogba or Cesc Fabregas or Ross Barkley maybe welcome to Manchester.

Re: Yaya Toure

If he is not returning calls then Khaldoon and Txiki should fly over there and speak to him in person and sort this out
I was watching him being interviewed on the pitch after the title win and he showed no sign of being anything other than delighted and looking foward to next season
Sounds like he wants a move but what a completely cuntish way to go about it
He can fuck off and we will move on.This must have thrown our summer plans into chaos and the" i'll tell you after the world cup" displays an arrogance i never thought i would see from him
If he stays please show him in the first home game how upset we have been by not singing his name,he will need to earn the respect back but i think he has gone too far and we will sell him if we can replace him this window,if not he will have to stay till next year.I am so disapointed in this,i thought the days of troublemakers were gone

Re: Yaya Toure

I am completely saddened by this whole episode, one of the best players I have ever had the pleasure of watching regularly and he has, in my opinion, sullied his time here by the way he has gone about engineering a move.

I wish he had just been honest about wanting to leave, nothing wrong with wanting to try a new challenge, in a country where his native tongue is spoken, I think 99% of us would understand that.

The good thing is, all of my mates that are NOT City fans, have said the only person looking bad in all of this is Yaya himself, they all think he has made an absolute tit of himself and City have acted with the utmost decency.

So I guess if he leaves it will be bye and thank you for the memories Yaya, 2011 semi, and final, Newcastle away, all of this seasons goals inc. the stunner at Wembley.

Now, if you are going to leave Yaya, do it as soon as possible, give us time to replace you, don't leave us scrabbling around at the last minute to recruit your successor(s).
