What Does Yaya Toure Actually Do?

[Justified logic]

Should have been sold after the farce that was cakegate. He was never going to be as impressive (or young) again as he had been that title-winning season so City should have cashed in there and then. That's not hindsight; I said it at the time.

Sold him to who, who would've paid his salary?

Sold him to whom.

He had been a mega monster that season. I'm sure there would have been a way to offload him to a club willing to take him, Mancini for instance.

Yaya is easily in the top ten of players to have ever played for us IMO.

He is not in the top ten legends of City IMO and arguably the top twenty.

His off field antics see to that

We could have sacked him for gross misconduct imo. However, it is what it is. An outstanding contribution to our club and will.go down as one of the best players to grace our pitch. Shame he is an oddball with a dickhead of mate/agent whom he allows to speak BS on his behalf.

On what grounds mate?

Maybe not gross misconduct but his official twitter account came out with some strange allegations at the time, which forced city to reply to the mis-truths. Problem with yaya is he is easily manipulated by those close to him and he has been played by seluk so many times.

He made a direct claim that the club had stopped him from seeing his terminally ill brother. The club kept a dignified silence in the circumstances but I never forgot he said it. The club got a lot of bad press from it at the time.

Who sounds better ;)

His wages were and still are prohibitive, there's no way Inter could afford it. His only realistic option that summer was PSG but because they were hit with the same sanction in regard wages as we got, that prevented them from coming in for him.

[everyonehatesus]

If he was to have a shocking but not life threatening accident then we could retire him off after using up his insurance............... just saying

as big of a cunt as he is Yaya's agent is doing his job. he's trying to make people believe Yaya is still a good, valuable player and there's a lot of interest in him (claiming United & Arsenal now. what joke). in actuality, people see through his bullshit remarks. but, still, he's doing what he should be doing: looking out for the best interest of his client.

Slagging people off isn't looking out for the best interests of a client, it's being a cunt.

Exactly. No wonder no one was interested in taking him this summer! The 'bigger' clubs are going to take one look at his agent and think why should they bother for the grief they're going to get? Is it really worth it for them with Yaya at 52 years of age?

You have an interesting definition of "job."

He's doing nothing but continuing to soil yaya and his rep to all and sundry.

Don't be foolish you goofball. You know that.

[Original Dub]

Of course he knows. He tries to be all edgey by going against the grain.
When in actual fact he's normally going against fact.

Yaya toure's agent is a cunt.

He is trying to make a cunt out of us and yaya toure is helping him by staying silent.

The only wankers who don't believe this are wankers who are hear to provoke.


Fuck off back to your dortmund board you fucking cretin.

This guy just won't quit. What a cunt, it's beginning to tarnish my love for Yaya, such a shame

Yaya will never be a legend as far as Im concerned , you cannot be a legend on the pitch and a total and utter cunt off it, whereby you allow your agent to diss your club at every given oportunity and refuse to correct him , and still be called a fucking legend ffs !!!

He is a fuckign cunt who should be just as grateful that our club made him a world star...as when he was at Barca , he was just another player.

Goater,Dickov,Bell,Lake,corrigan to name but just a few are what are known as TRUE LEGENDS on and off the pitch.

The list of "legends" for other clubs and in other sports who also meet the criteria you are suggesting disqualifies a player from being awarded legend status is too long to write. Even if I want them to be more likable off the pitch, some are just not because of realties of being a global megastar who has received very special treatment from a young age. Superstar entertainers in various worlds are at pretty high risk for developing overinflated egos and related behaviours due to this, I suspect.

Yaya we all know is easily one of the best midfielders of his generation and what he has brought us including several huge performances when it mattered. He has been a joy to watch as an imposing dominate force with incredible vision and technical ability that is so difficult to compare since his attributes are so unique. Yet, he never received the level of support from certain fans because of playing for our club, and one could ask if there is something else underneath the surface as well when Gerrard is rated higher than him by the media during our last title winning season.

How do you think he feels about it? I suspect he feels slighted over his career for his qualities and trophies, and when you have a massive ego as I suspect he has developed, it's plausible that you will have a hard time accepting loss of status as you get older and more at risk to rationalise it into, "Its them, not me." I'm not excusing his agent's behaviour or even some of his - although the worst case came after the loss of his brother which is worth noting. However, go check some of the issues he posts about regarding help with positive change

I am a big fan of his for his performances, but if you think he's such a horrible human being, where does this come from:

I am also terribly displeased with his agent's comments, but I fortunately can barely take him seriously. Someone will have to put "hyperbole" on his grave stone one day.

he's making everything out to be City and Guardiola's fault..the cake, the exclusion from the CL squad, etc. he's making it sound like Yaya is the victim and claiming other parties are interested. no one will touch a player if everyone is passing on him, but if there are big clubs supposedly interested in him then there must be something valuable there. smart.

and, yes, like i began my post: he's a cunt. won't be sad to see the back of him (the agent).

I'd say desperate rather than smart, he's fooling no one, the smart can see right through his bullshit.

i can't wait for him to fuck off to the acon

There are ways of doing things. Have you ever heard Silva's representative say anything in the media? Do you even know who represents Silva? You don't have to run your mouth off or negotiate via the media to get the best results for your client.

If that's the case, it's really ironic.

In the past, when we've needed him - perhaps badly, he's gone off to ACON.

Now, when it looks as though we don't/won't need him at all, if what you say is true, his country doesn't need him either.
