Yaya Toure

[jessery]

And fortune cookies.

Picture the Scene. Yaya with his agent.

seluk- "so Yaya, Mr 'Gladdallover' says you have eaten too much birthday cake that Mr charming man Pellegrini bought you, but don worry Yaya, Mr Pellegrini wants you to play in China.

Yaya, "but Mr Seluk- boss, does da mean I will get a big 'burday' cake?"

Seluk-, "erm, not really Yaya. They don't do birthday cakes in China Yaya, but Mr nice man Pellegrini says he has a special surprise for you".

Yaya- "please Mr Dimitri boss, I'm so excited, please tell me"

Seluk- " oh go on Yaya seeing as you make me very rich man, Mr nice man Pellegrini has a big bag of cookies for you, but keep it quiet, don't tell Mr charming man I said, ok"

Yaya- "Ok Mr boss, Cookies yah, Yaya wants to be the Cookie monster, Cookies"

"Yaya very happy with cookies boss, better than 'burday' cake" ; )

Haha! Isn't it a shame that's going to be how he's remembered. Obviously a huge part of our success, tarnished by he and his agent's behavior.

Reported in Guardian today also:
.....Guardiola also confirmed Toure will not leave in the current window, saying: “I spoke with him and he said he wants to stay.

“Ok, if he wants to stay, I am happy. There are a lot of games. Everybody needs to play. I know his quality. For example in the last 20 minutes against Steaua Bucharest he played as a striker and played amazing. Of course I know him very well and his behaviour from the beginning was perfect. When his behaviour is OK, everything is going very well.”

That last line cracked me up.

Are you suggesting Yaya's wage is what grants him playing rather than Pep thinking he sees the "intensity" in training, therefore, may still be useful?

Ridiculous thinking and total guesswork![/QUOTE]

This is a logic I cannot fathom!

This entire fan site is guesswork...
YaYa's wage is keeping him in Manchester
His intensity is keeping him out of the line up
Toure has been arguably the best player in the past 10 years(Aguero / add your own)
And I would love to wind the clock back for him
But he's had his time,
For me if he stays and helps the team,fine I'll take it
But I'd rather he move on
And take his shit agent with him

3 league games, no starts and silence from Seluk. Hmmmmmm.

3 league games, no starts and silence from Seluk. Hmmmmmm.

not even making the bench this time. Kompany, Gundogan and Sane due back after break, can't see how he will even get on the bench, other than for League Cup games if he stays

 

[Tevez City]

Its hard now to get a place on the bench.

 

[Gunnerblue9320]

I thought he had a poor game on Wednesday and not even making squad today confirmed this for me.

Go gracefully yaya.
