Yaya Toure signs new five year contract (merged)

[Plain Speaking]

Re: Yaya's agent says he is ready to quit...

Anzhi want him - Daily Mail.

An offer of around £25million to £30million would surely tempt the club with him turning 30 this year but I'm uneasy with the idea of selling an important part of the team's backbone.

I agree but if he wants out there is no point forcing him.I suspect a new contract will be thrashed out.I am confused by what his agent said,some of it was factually incorrect,the no posters,shirts etc and how he can go from loving it here and wanting to end his career here to feeling unloved in a few weeks doesnt make sense.Trying to force the clubs hand going into a cup match and trying to stay 2nd is very bad timing and a clumsy move.What is bobby to do,leave on the bench or just leave him out?

Yaya can be brilliant buts lets be honest he has probably had about 6 good games this season - I believe one of the reasons we got found out in the CL is Yaya when we don't have the ball he offers very little.

If we can get 30 mill then let him go there are younger hungrier players aropund - Barca didn't exactly miss him - he tackles a bit - hes good at linking the defence with attack and offers some creativity going forward - but is he worth being your highest paid player?

In the CL Yaya was superb away against Real, he ripped them apart with his vision and passing. Dortmund realised he was our key player and had 3 players on him each time he got the ball. The trouble with our squad IMO is there were not enough players with Yaya's quality. I know the club are trying to sort out the future finances and I appreciate that, but he is head and shoulders our most important "big game" player.
To maintain our credibility and ambition we must keep him.

this is what Yaya and his agent will be dealing with <a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQPnbML1WFY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQPnbML1WFY</a> jump to 17:34. Lower wages higher bonuses from the new regime.

Unfair IMO, Yaya is an exceptional player.
I hope we can get his contract sorted so the core of our side can be settled.

totally agree with that by the way,but the way he is moving today is much better then he has been for us recently.I just have a bee in my bonnet with his/agents comments this week,i'll get over it!
