What Has Happened To Our Game?

[lawson]

Yaya Toure wants out at Man City apparently as the club did not mark his birthday with a cake as they did with other players.

Seriously?

You need to

A. Keep your ear to the ground
B. Pay attention as to what has gone on before
C. Look closely as to what has not been said as much as what hasn't, and
D. Give your head a wobble

Yaya isn't going anywhere. His "agent", as has been reported in the media, isn't. He's merely an advisor. He has been spouting bollocks for years (Heaven knows why Toure puts up with him).

There was a celebration, there was a cake, and there was a 35' image of him hanging outside the Etihad when Seluk stated that there were no pictures of him.

I believe that this is the best article I've read so far to describe what exactly is going on here:

For one, he isn't is agent, for another he has talk shit for years.

This is where that article ends,

Isn't this just a ridiculous attempt at negotiating for a wage increase?

Heh it's bizarre and a little embarrassing but I doubt he's actually going anywhere.

Don't worry. Yaya and MCFC are just setting the stage for Yaya to become NYCFC's first DP.

 

[BxLio91]

If Yaya signs for us, I might lose my shit

I would be right there with ya @BxLio91

He's said he wants to retire at Barca. Maybe he's angling his way back there, maybe not.

When you're angling for an improved contract, it's common to name-drop a big club who might be interested in signing you. It makes your club get scared that you might actually leave them, thus prompting them to rush to offer you a higher deal than they might otherwise have considered - or that's what is supposed to happen, anyway.

He's making $18 Million a year. If MCFC wanted, they could eat his salary and make him play left bench to teach him a lesson. Not worried about this at all.
