Don't draw conclusions too soon mate.
Yaya has been training from the off. Yet Pep says he rather have young lads going to Bucharest so Yaya can do more training. Imho that is a clear SIGNAL that Yaya hasn't knuckled down as much as Guardiola wanted and hasn't profiled in friendlies as much as Pep wanted. But maybe Yaya needs more time to get where Pep wants him to be.
You say we don't have anyone in that situation. We do. Yaya and Nasri, coincidentally both close friends on and off the pitch. With Barca it was clear Ronaldinho and Deco were seen as great players, over the top and probably needing a clear challenge when Rijkaard was their manager. Pep however saw behind that and moved them on as soon as he knew they weren't ready for a change.
Btw, talking about SIGNALS ... the clearest of signals Pep gave to Yaya was when he brought in a crocked Gundogan, and picked Fernandinho as the clever player in the early trainingdays. But again ... maybe Yaya needs more time.
Where would Yaya have played v Sunderland ?
In place of Fernandinho, first game of the season ? Never in a million years. His only likely chance, was from the bench, to replace Silva or DeBruyne.
There is no comparison in Yaya or Nasri's situation, to that of Ronaldinho & Deco. Our 2 are saints by comparison.

He's only 'off' if he agrees to go.
I've been saying this for months. Same with Nasri, Hart, anyone else.
If they don't go, we have to deal with it in the best way & that isn't by treating them like criminals, it's by getting the best possible out of them.
Yaya will sit it out and go on a free, Its all about the money and if he is free he will get the wages he wants and a fat signing on fee, Why do you think his crack pot agent has been quiet of late and anything he has said has not been inflammatory.

Sadly I feel you're correct.Yaya will sit it out and go on a free, Its all about the money and if he is free he will get the wages he wants and a fat signing on fee, Why do you think his crack pot agent has been quiet of late and anything he has said has not been inflammatory.
He'll have so much money you couldn't shake a stick at yet will happily miss out on playing a game he supposedly loves for a few million more quid.

If he is not required and is refusing to leave do we have to give him a squad number ?

Perhaps Pep feels he is not fit enough yet? Maybe he is staying behind in a push to train more to be able to put in an effective shift in the near future? Time will tell.The comments from his agent to me seems like a cat and mouse affair.
His agent is saying Yaya is happy enough to stay and fight, this could possibly be to force the hand of city. ie. letting him know he is no longer in the plans, then they can say the club treated him poorly and forced him out etc..
City on the other hand, by leaving him out are maybe hoping he throws the toys out of the pram and forces a move away.
Either way the issue needs to be sorted. Not my money but I know if I was running a business and had something costing me £200k a week without getting any return I wouldn't be happy about the situation. Not involved in the first game or part of our most important game of the full season tells me what Pep has in plan for Yaya.

It's too early to draw conclusions on any player, but Yaya has been in from the start and yet has been overlooked. That to me is a clear signal.
If Yaya wants to play football he needs to move on. If he prefers another big payday, he will hang around and see out his contract.
If City wants him to compete, Pep needs to get the best out of him and find out if Yaya is to be usefull. If City want to get rid, they need to help and find a solution maybe a loan with paying most of his salary.
Whatever happens with Yaya, I will remember him as one of the best midfielders around, and probably the most important player in a City-top to help us get where we are now.
How come after six weeks of training he is still not fit? Pure bullshit. Pep does not want him and it's time for him to move on with our gratitude for what he has helped us achieve.
