Agree.
I don't think he was trying to 'engineer' a move at all. I don't think he would have neccessarily cried if City had put him up for sale, but I don't think it was about getting a move & said so all along.
His agent may have been using his whinge to try & get a move, but his agent also tried to stop him coming to City in the first place.
There's a lot of James Bond crap been talked about this situation. If Yaya wanted a move, all he would have to do, is have an 'off the record' word with Pellegrini & the Count would sell him. He doesn't want players who aren't committed & he wouldn't be arsed about the other shit. Same with Txiki etc. If he asked them to find him a club, they would do. Of course they'd try to do a deal on cutting his loyalty bonus etc, but he's not going to get a fucking loyalty bonus out of them by downing tools is he ? He's already seen what happened with Tevez. He's too old for that. Why the fuck would he choose that road when he doesn't have to ?
And who the fuck was going to pay him the huge money ? Have PSG gone over their sanctions budget ? Who else ?
This 'engineering a move' bollocks doesn't make any practical sense & has no evidence whatsoever to back it up. It's just people assuming that was the problem because he mentioned 'finishing his career' elsewhere WHICH HE ALWAYS HAS, & he said the same earlier last season without any of the hysterics.
The biggest difference is that during this outburst, he sent out the message that he wanted to stay on at City AFTER he finished playing, which is a new one. That was the last thing said on the subject & lots of people ignored it because it does't fit with the 'engineering a move' crap everyone was pushing.
THAT is probably where the bust up has come from; he wants an offer of a job for the future & we aren't biting. He was probably hoping the Sheikh would respond with offers of ambassadorial trips around the world etc & got a 'we'll see' instead.
If that doesn't sound like a great theory, it makes more fucking sense than the 'engineering a move by publically making a tit out of himself & his agent' theory that you lot have been espousing. That makes no sense whatsoever.
