Can some of you please try to accept (even relatively slowly if that suits) Yaya is not being sold by City this summer.
The season starts in less than one month. Add to that the Charity Shield it starts in 3 weeks.
Any transfer of this size would not be done so close to the season starting. No way would City go into the final week of pre season selling their most high profile player. Regardless of how long the window remains open once the season has started City simply won't go into the new season without strategically planning and making sure the main spine of the squad is sorted.
Add to that, Everton for example are not going to sell Barkley so close to the first weekend of the season because even if they were to receive 50 million they won't have time to spend it on quality replacements.
Martinez is more professional than that. And City (nowadays) are absolutely more professional.
This ain't happening. These stories are part of the same media sources which have linked Yaya with Liverpool and Utd. Seriously. Are so many of you that fucking clueless.
This will blow over. City will have got a grip. You will see Yaya make a statement in the next couple of weeks assuring everyone that he remains focused and committed to City.
Regardless of the WC, if City were entertaining selling him we'd be well ahead in negotiations with the buying club and with his replacement. Instead we read silly stories of Barkley and Yaya turning down Utd.
Couldn't make it up.
This. This is sense.
