I am probably wrong though and my over active imagination is playing tricks on me and he goes after the World Cup to Barca for £30mill
If it's to be on our terms, it will be this summer.
12 months of speculation and half-arsed performances does us greater harm.
In terms of posters being accused of being precious, I would simply ask how precious do you feel Sheikh Mansoor needs to be?
He has paid this twat handsomely and yet been accused of treating him like a piece of meat, who never even had the decency to make a fuss of him in Abu Dhabi.
The only person precious in all of this is Toure, who will now forever be stigmatised as such.
He said something similar [re ESPN report], but it was worded more positively than today's reports. Back then he was talking of a possibility of joining PSG, but the report also said he was committed to City and also that "The Premier League is the league in which I feel best. There's rhythm, intensity. There's everything I want." No mention of his agent here!mrtwiceaseason said:Just done a bit of trawling it seems the PSG quotes were made about 23,1 14 .anyone else confirm this ?I'm no cynic said:He uses the words "Given the magnificent season Manchester City HAVE HAD, everyone talks to me and everything is open. My agent, Dimitry, is hanging on the telephone and he knows what he has to do, I have complete confidence in him."Mothball said:People do realise that this latest PSG quote is rehashed shit that was published in France Football six months ago!
If these were his words six months ago, they would be wrong as the season was only mid-season at that time.
Interestingly (or not maybe) Tevez's 'agent' like Yaya's is no such thing. Neither are licensed agents with Fifa which means they can never be held accountable for their actions. Licensed agents can be heavily sanctioned by Fifa including having their license revoked.tolmie's hairdoo said:Marvin said:If we're that concerned by what his agent says we'd have never have signed him in the first place as he was very dismissive of MCFC when our interest in Toure was first made knowntolmie's hairdoo said:If it's to be on our terms, it will be this summer.

It's not what the agent is saying though, is it?
Yaya is on record as endorsing those ridiculous statements by then stating: "my agent speaks for me."
At what stage do you think it was necessary for Toure to distance himself from these accusations?
Unless you think waiting until after the World Cup is just a happy coincidence?
Seriously, bud, this is high stakes poker at work.
His agent revealed their hand because his bluff has been called.
Yaya is well aware that he kisses goodbye to millions in contractual loyalty payments should he go on the record publicly with such shite.
He's praying the next eight weeks can allow Seluk's dirty work to achieve his aims.
Same reason Kia followed the same method for Tevez.
Difference was, that was mid-season and even he didn't legislate for Carlos doing a bunk.

When did he say this? One of the tweets said that but you told us earlier that some woman runs his Twitter account.
I'm not suggesting he's not guilty by association before anyone starts, I'd just like to see where Yaya is quoted saying that.

The first tweet was the Brit PR lady, she thought she was doing her job attempting to minimise the fall out from the Sun interview.
It was removed and replaced by Seluk in agreement with Yaya.
Yaya has since reinforced the subsequent tweets by giving a television interview confirming Seluk and he are in constant contact and everything is now "in the open"
Spot on!FantasyIreland said:TonyM said:I am genuinely shocked by how precious some people on here are.
Rather than 'precious' i think its more the case that people are proud and protective of the club they love,when someone attempts to take the piss,or cause it hurt,then that person is correctly lambasted imo.

I need to know.
Going off the last couple of weeks stories, id suggest he is more of a muffin man
Perhaps not so much the bread type tho

So Yaya didn't actually say that? And that tweet has subsequently been removed too....hmmmmm

He has to serve 3 years of his contract before he can use the webster ruling tolm, that's the minimum. So he could stay here until summer 2016 and buy himself out for around £12m but he can't use it this summer. On the other hand we could choose to let himself buy it out (as long as we didn't think he'd go to a pl club) as £36m is about the most we could really expect to get for him.tolmie's hairdoo said:If he really wanted to go to war, he could always try the Webster ruling?
Not sure on the criteria but it would cost £36m for Toure to buy out the remainder of his contract.
Perhaps that would be the rule of thumb in terms of interested clubs placing a valuation?
If he complains about a refusal to budge on our own price, we can be sure to remind him how highly we rate him.
The irony of it all!

I think you're in serious denial mate. Yaya is a superb player but he's behaving like a ****. If you really can't see the that you must be Kolo ;.)
