Re: Yaya Toure
I get to wonder if Yaya had already been tapped up by PSG before Borat went off on one. It's not supposed to happen but we all know it does. We had enough trouble with Kia and Willie McKay before him, and we have to accept that this is what agents do. Even so, this story would never have developed in the way it has without Yaya being up for it, and let's be honest about this, football is a nomadic career with very very few one-club players in the game. The one positive thing in this case is that PSG seem to be totally ignoring FFP which means we can get a high price for Yaya. If he is to be sold, I for one will be greatly disappointed if he goes on the cheap, a trend that has gone on far too long with us for far too many seasons and it's time for US to be calling the shots in the marketplace rather than letting others take our trousers down.
