Re: Yaya Toure
Yaya's agent: “Ok we've done everything we can......City won't improve your deal, PSG, Real and Barca haven't come up with anything, but I'm happy to tell you that Man U are prepared to give you what you want!”
Yaya: “**** that, get me on SSN NOW!”

Re: Yaya Toure
Like many others I have been really annoyed by the whole Yaya saga this summer.
However, if he now stays, the danger is that fans may vent their anger at him during games which could have a bad effect on the team performance as a whole.

Re: Yaya Toure
Can only be good news that he's staying. There have certainly been mitigating circumstances for his behaviour in the last couple of months. He's made some serious errors of judgement and has an unhealthy trust of an agent who's only interested in the next big paycheck.
All in all I believe City have played the whole thing to perfection, not a single leak from within saying one thing or another which has left said agent floundering. In the end I think that Yaya and his party have been surprised (they shouldn't be..) at our resolve and a deal has been struck which suits both parties. We get another season( at a stretch 2) from him whilst he's still just about at his peak and then he's allowed to leave once the transfer restrictions are lifted.
City play the long game these days...

Re: Yaya Toure
Glad he's staying (for the season at least), I can see an awesome season coming up with Yaya further upfield.
To be fair it was hardly caused by a misunderstanding, it really did all come from Yaya's side.EalingBlue2 said:Makes me laugh this it is a bit like the paranoid person who ruins a good marriage because of imagined infidelity. Yaya said nowt , city said nowt and yet to many the situation in their minds was worse than tevez?
A little bit creepy ........

Football fans are fickle, we'll be singing his name again after a few top performances.

Yaya Toure has vowed to remain at Manchester City as he asked for an end to a summer of speculation largely begun by his own agent.
Toure and his representative Dimitri Seluk spoke to Sky Sports News toay to confirm the Ivory Coast international's intention to honour his contract - which runs until 2017 - at the Etihad Stadium.
"The fans have always been good to me, they've always been good to my family," Toure said. "I want to stay. I will always honour my contract.
"I don't think about all this speculation. It's a big pleasure to stay and enjoy the next season."
But Toure described the speculation as "disappointing" as he said he owed a debt to City fans.
"Everything is fine now," he said. "There was a lot of speculation, you know. I think sometimes it's quite disappointing. I need to do something for the fans, it's important to let them know.
"They've done a lot for me. The team is preparing well and we will try to win again next season."
Seluk, who spoke before Toure, had said: "I would like to say Yaya will stay at City. He won't go to any club. Everybody can stop speculation about this.
"Yaya will stay at Manchester City 100%. He has a contract, he will work very hard and I hope this season he will be the best player in England."
Although Seluk is seen as the source of so much of the speculation - something he has a record for starting most summers, even before Toure signed for City - Toure backed his agent.
"He's quite strong sometimes, but he's a very good guy," he said.
"To be honest, we never wanted to talk about money. There are more important things than money. To be happy, healthy. Respect as well is very important."
Seluk was even able to laugh at some of the more surreal stories that have come out in recent weeks.
"I hope now everybody will have a very friendly relationship," he said. "I hope his next birthday they will celebrate together."

He's made a complete and utter dick of himself this summer but football, like politics, is a career in which you can do that and get away with it.

Re: Yaya Toure
Did he actually say that though? I though that he was saying that he should have been at his brother's bedside but at the time he had to be with City. Not actually blaming City but the circumstances that prevented him from being there, when in hindsight he knows he should have been. It was a guilt thing by the sounds of it.
Obviously the media made somthing of it, and many, as usual, went along.
Puppet Master Silva said:comeonfeedthegoat said:These are the first quotes directly from yaya over the whole saga...... Rubbished all the talk, yet still some seem unhappy.
As for saying he could of said it earlier, I'm sure the last couple of months his priorities have been elsewhere and denying something that isn't even real wasn't on his mind.
You mean like the quotes saying we denied him seeing his dying brother? Those ones?

Re: Yaya Toure
I've always loved Yaya ;-)......oh hang on, he's not apologised yet (unlike Tevez) he's still a **** then!
Only joking I'll never boo a blue and that includes Toure as long as he still puts in a 100% shift against the big teams.

Re: Yaya Toure
Once the first rampaging run takes place all will be forgiven.
There is no chance that the fans will vent their spleen. As you said it's the fickleness of football, and the vast majority at the Etihad will be happy to see him amble onto the pitch again. If he scores another 20 goals he will be back being a hero again. I am laying odds even De Niro will forgive him over time ;-)

Re: Yaya Toure
You sound really upset......don't worry most fans are delighted if he really is staying. Also, people are entitled to be pissed off at your attitude of having a divine right to be the sole arbiter of City opinion and then slag others off just as oyu ahve so elequently done here. If you and others can't put this to bed now then you are the ones direspecting the club. Unless there is a sudden change of mind by the player/agent the storm in a tea cup is over.
A far more pertinent and intersting subject though is what is City's future planning regading replacing YaYa. Depending on his role and number of games he has to play he might have up to 2 seasons at his best so the issue of replacing him needs to be managed properly and hope the club can do this. It may well need a slightly different way of playing given there is barely any other player like him currently playing. Barkely running at defences is exciting but he does not in my view have the ability to control a game like Ya Ya does but at the moment he would be my pick with a bit of tweaking around him.

Wind your fucking neck in you antagonistic idiot.
If people wanted to be pissed of they had every fucking right so shut the fuck up with your barbed shitty comments.

I'm one of the "Still think Yaya is a ****" thinkers.
He's shown me nothing as yet to suggest he's anything else.

I'm glad he's staying but after all the messing around he'd better not go into "strolling" mode in too many games.
