Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

Re: Yaya Toure

Not read through 800 pages but what's going on with Toure? Is he staying or going?

Staying. City aren't going to sell him.

Nobody knows what he really thinks or what has gone on, despite 800 pages of pure bile and nastiness from people who should know better.

was told today that he's staying. city refuse to budge on this.
I suppose the precedent is there with tevez he moved when WE wanted him gone.

That's because he's let it develop into the circus we have witnessed.

It would have been very simple for the lad to state his intentions,positive or otherwise.

He and his cronies have embarrassed themselves.

Spot on,to be precise two cnuts who have helped to tarnish what toure has achieved so far at city........first it was the birthday cake then his brother's passing away,and on each occasion has tried with prompting most likely from his bumchum to disrespect and belittle city without getting so far what they are trying to achieve a transfer..two horrible greedy thick bastards.....

Re: Yaya Toure

We are coming up to 800 pages and yet after the majority of fans calling him nay. abusing him. as far as I am aware ,there is no defining statement from the player himself that he wants to leave, infact after cake gate he was quoted as saying that despite his apparent disappointment ,he will show his commitment next season While I agree this whole episode has been a poor showing which has been rightly attributed to player and agent The club should have contacted the player weeks ago and thrash it out. yet it continues to fester leaving this long should not have been an option open to Toure quite frankly the fact that the clubs greatest asset (the fans) have to wait till he decides to sit down and tell us is imo a disgrace

Nor that he wants to stay. It'd be very easy for him to nip this in the bud. He has chosen, as of now, not to. That's his choice, his fault.

I'm also sure that City WILL have contacted him. As jim says, he's had every opportunity to put this matter to rest, but instead his silence speaks volumes. All we can hope for now is an incoming bid north of £30m, and City should play hardball with that.

Re: Yaya Toure

Well said Stuart Brennan
======================

The silence from Yaya Toure is starting to become deafening.

And, while we at MEN Sport last week reasoned that the City midfielder needs time and space to work through the anguish of his brother’s death, as well as recover from the rigours of a tough season and draining World Cup campaign, perhaps he needs to act now.

There had been a rising tide of anger among City fans in May, as Yaya’s hints that he wanted to leave, amid the farcical suggestion he was upset at the club’s failure to properly acknowledge his birthday, gave a sour tinge to the sweetness of the title triumph.

That gave way to sympathy and a degree of understanding when the Ivorian’s brother Ibrahim died of cancer while he was away with the national team in Brazil.

But Toure again risked the wrath of supporters by claiming he had been refused permission to dodge the post-season trip to Abu Dhabi in order to be with his brother, which City insiders emphatically deny to be the case.

Still, the lad has clearly been through the emotional wringer, and his outbursts may simply be down to the irrational anger which causes many of us to lash out in bereavement.

Yaya said in May that he would put out a statement about his future after the World Cup, which we presumed meant after Ivory Coast were out - and they were eliminated 15 days ago.

Now another story has popped up, this time in the French press, where an unnamed Ivory Coast player is alleged to have told a journalist that Yaya has said he will not return to pre-season training with City.

The truth of that will become evident in just over a fortnight, when Toure is expected to link up with the squad on the Kansas leg of their US tour.

It is to be hoped that by then Yaya will have had time to ease his personal pain, and think more clearly about his professional future.

After the Carlos Tevez saga, City are in no mood to be messed about by a maverick player - and if Yaya is insistent he wants to leave, it will only happen on their terms, and if a replacement can be found

Re: Yaya Toure

He stays, he goes, who gives a fuck, his brother has died,in the grand scheme of things football is really not that important! I'm not condoning his behaviour, he should just hand a transfer request in if he's determined to leave, but once again his brother has recently died and I know that if a close member of my family had died my head would be all over the place.

Correct. Player should be getting support - not rubbished.

Disappointed in the MEN just playing to the gallery
