I put his behaviour towards Pep down to his ego alone and not just Seluk stirring things.He may have an ego the size of the bus but why slag Pep in that way. There’s no evidence of Pep being racist so why do it? He’ll still get a good welcome by the fans at City but despite his incredible influence, he’ll fall short of the status of Silva, Aguero, Kompany, eventually KDB and others due to his behaviour. Look at Tevez as an example. Brilliant player but not remembered in the same way as other players.
Pep was the first manager to drop him. He was getting rid of the deadwood and the fat (in Yaya's case).
This move to Greece does indeed show that Yaya is well past his sell by date. He was past it under Pellegrini and the rest of the league knew it.
Pep just called a spade a spade (that's as racist as it gets) and told him he would only be used sparingly, if he got himself fit.
None of this sat well with Yaya's delusional ego.
The truth is when he was in his prime with us, other teams feared him. He scared the sh1t out of United in the Mancini days.
His last couple of seasons with us, teams rubbed their hands when they saw him on our team sheet.
He was just a fading diva in denial.
