Oh right I get it, we're only allowed to use evidence from when he playing for a new contract rather than the 2 previous years of laziness? Silly me, I forgot sorry.

No one's pressing was great under Pellegrini so it's fucking idiotic to use such evidence.

You may as well post clips of Sterling refusing to attempt to go past his man in his first season.

Different manager. Different instructions.

If you don't understand that then you really aren't worth talking to.
 
Is ITK the knew GHB? I can't keep up with the kids these days. Brighton can sign Bony and we can retain Yaya, everyone then gets what they deserve, especially Brighton.

I suppose it was Yaya following Pellegrini's instructions that caused him to put 2/3 stone on as well was it.

Ps. It's the Yaya thread, not the Sterling thread otherwise I would.

There's a big difference though, under Pellegrini, Yaya was allowed to be lazy and put weight on, but under Pep, he was basically told train, and get yourself fit enough, and then (if your agent shuts the f**k up), you might be considered. So he did work hard, got himself fit, told his agent to shut the f**k up, and lo and behold he was reselected, and then trusted as a major part of the team for 6 months of the season.

So the difference (for me) is down to a manager having some balls, he's turned Yaya into a player that can be useful, and Yaya seems to have fully enjoyed that.

We had a squad of 22/23 players who all had the same manager, blaming Pellegrini for his weight gain and laziness is just pathetic.

Yaya has proven this year he could lose the weight, the previous two years were solely down to his lack of professionalism and complacency because he knew he still had time remaining on his contract.

With all due respect that's a lie though isn't it. You yourself asked me to post what I thought of Yaya's comeback and I was more than complimentary about the way he had fought his way back into the team and how he had and continued to play this season with the odd exception. There's a few poster I expect shit from because they're thick as fuck and just want an argument but I'm surprised by you.

No not at all, I've been openly positive about Yaya this season as you know but some posters just prefer to ignore all that because they want to argue and re-write what's happened over the last few years to try and justify their point of view. I'm happy enough and stubborn enough to stand my ground, with a hint of winding up the argumentative posters too.

One bit of that statement is fair enough, but the highlighted bit isn't. I'm not interested in arguing with you, but I'm happy to debate the finer points, however being a deliberate WUM is something we don't approve of, so take care.....

If they can give it out they should be able to take it, sadly some can't and we all know who I mean, it wasn't aimed in your direction mate.

My posts to you we're all football related and justified, I don't agree Pellegrini was at fault because Yaya's professional conduct is his own responsibility, just like me, you and every other person who has the privilege of having a job.

You know it's weird, I was absolutely certain a lot of our players put on weight under pellegrini. Aguero, KDB and Nasri all spring to mind

I didn't have any issue with your replies to me, I'm more than happy to debate it, but you basically admitted to trying to wind others up, which I do have an issue with, is there any need ?

I will always back everyone's right to have an opinion, but I don't back people who admit to trying to wind others up.

You also give it out, and on occasions you can't take it back either, so lets debate the issue, and leave the personal stuff to one side please.

Its clear you don't much like Yaya, and that's your right, but lets not make it personal with others.
