Time to move on if he's got that attitude.


As soon as pep was announced, this type of shit was nailed on.

Seems to be nailed on every season mate, as if the agent is trying to hold us hostage. Can't be doing with the annual shit from him.

A very bad time to be coming out with this as we all know Yaya isnt the player he was and if he doesn't get the move he wants he'll be sat in the stands.

How long has he got in his current contract, I thought he'd not long ago renewed?

He is 33 in 6 weeks (get your baking hats on), what person in their right mind would think they could get a 3 yr extension at that age?

I hope he gets a really good send off from the away fans at Swansea, its his birthday 2 days before his last game for us

Are you talking about this over vs Villa:

Watch on youtube.com


or this one:

Watch on youtube.com


Because the one I'm still in awe of, is the casual 35 yard rocket vs sunderland to draw us level in the cup final:

Watch on youtube.com


And for good measure, here's 45 minutes showing why Yaya is a City legend:

Video timeline:

Up to 17:23 : Various Highlights (Goals, Skills, dribbles & passes)
17:23 to 24:35 : Runs, dribbles and skills
24:35 to 29:50 : Goals & Shooting
29:50 onwards : Passing, control of play and vision

Watch on youtube.com




The first. As soon as he started running you new he was going to score. The build up. The shot! Orgasm.

Exactly. That Shylock guy is an absolute cock who is only thinking about himself, and puppets Yaya accordingly.

Yaya is a City Leagend for me, bringing us unprecedented success, butvwe have to remember he was highly recompensed for his efforts and that all good things come to an end.

Like you say, hopefully he'll get a great send off as he deserves it but with comments like that from his agent, some of our fans will have their backs up, especially if there's any further.

It's how Dimitry Seluk has negotiated his whole career. Sure it'd be nice if Yaya changed agents. But realistically, it's hard to fire someone who keeps you as one of the highest paid in the world at your profession. And that's about 90% of an agent's job. From the player's perspective, you let the agent be the arsehole (if need be), and you get a better deal while keeping your hands clean.

I know if someone was negotiating on my behalf to earn millions/year, I'd give them free reign to do or say whatever they wanted. As long as they deliver the goods, and I don't have to do anything (not involved in the process), they can take hostages for all I care.

So just ignore Mr. Seluk and listen to what Yaya himself has to say

His son is named Dimitri Touré.

This might come as a shock, but between the whole wankfest for Maureen, there is a pro City article out there. Here you go, nice read.

Great article.

He will leave the club a legend. He was very poor last season, but in the previous seasons he was largely excellent and the true definition of a big game player. Even in the League Cup Final this season, when we had 1 penalty kick to win the game, as soon as we saw Yaya walking up to take the kick, we knew the trophy was ours.

He stepped up when it counted and was crucial to every trophy we've won since 2011.

This season he was on the decline and Pellegrini has to take some of the blame for playing him so often. But good luck to him in the future.

Hopefully he chooses a club in China and we can get a 20m+ fee for him :)

Whatever you think of him, and I am not a fan of the circus he has become, he will always be a legend at City and probably one of the best players I've ever seen pull on a City shirt.

His goal in the LC final, his goal in the FA Cup final, he dragged us over the line for the first title and carried us in the majority of the second.

Was it his FA cup final goal where he was kind of up in the air doing his 'Yaya' rifled shot? If it was, that is probably the hardest I've seen someone hit the ball that I can remember. I'd love to know how much power he gets on his shots.

I did say at the time no-one's stopping that, lucky no-one got in the way or they'd be in the back of the net with the ball.

Couple of papers suggesting that he's going to do a Danny Mills and sit out his contract for the next year and earn £11m.
