I seem to be in an ever decreasing minority of those who'd like him to still be here next season.
Footballers, especially those that get to the top of the profession, will be quite strong characters, verging on the narcissistic. We have a classic case here in Yaya. Having an ego that big is what has driven him to succeed and make him the player he is today.
I don't buy for one minute that he's been manipulated by a cunning, destructive agent. yaya is setting the agenda here and has made himself look very silly indeed.
However, this type of stuff goes on a lot with the elite footballers and I'm sure the powers that be at City will sit him down, give him a big hug and re-assurances and all will be fine come mid- August and our thoroughbred will be raring to go again.
There's no point cashing in on him because he's the best around.
We should get first option on the boy Barkley as we can make him a great player but for now, stick with the Ivorian and just put up with these rather idiotic outbursts. We'll have to get used to them with top players if we haven't already.
not sure if you are in a minority pal, I certainly agree with you, and most Blues I speak to are of the same opinion; however of the ones who post in here I would assess that we are in the minority; however it might be like the callers to 606, those who bother to call (or in this case post) tend to be those who have the strongest opinions, but not necesarilly the majority opinions - personally I think the silent majority probably wish that this would die down, that Yaya and his agent would shut up, and that Yaya is still doing what he does best next season, for City
