He's someone we have to build the team around, he's got plenty more years in him, he'll adapt with age and I could think of nothing more satisfying than Yaya signing a new, long-term contract and seeing him end his career at the club.

I think Yaya is going to be an exception.
He is probably one of very few players in his thirties who could demand a 30m+ price tag, but do you see any club wanting to pay that for someone of his age?
If he desperately wants out then we have to let him go because we run the risk of him not wanting to play for the team because his heart isn't in it, for that to happen the most likely scenario would be a player + cash deal or a straight swap.
I would be all over swapping him with Sanchez but that leaves us having to go and fund a likely big move for someone such as Vidal or Pogba and considering we a 50m cap on spending and the fact we need a central defender we could find ourselves in a difficult position.
That's all well and good, but if he wants to get away from here, all he has to do is give less than 100% effort and to moan his cotton socks off with a bad atmosphere being generated behind the scenes, and to let Agent Borat do the rest by talking about a lack of respect towards Yaya as his brother lay dying. He will be sold off pretty quickly if this festering is not killed off.Joburg Hero said:Yaya should not be sold, or swapped, under any circumstances.

Yaya Toure has not requested a transfer at Manchester City #mcfc
Shame it's the mail though !
Why would he want to lose his loyalty bonus ?
Is Crafton reliable?
