If the manger has him staying in a week in week out 442 well cant see that one working. If he stays there will need to be change to accommodate him.

But I actually do think it is time for him to go. If this becomes a cat and mouse game between his agent and City and they fuck up our Summer transfer policy (if hopefully it involves Pogba), then I think he will only further tarnish his reputation amongst the supporters.
I think we'd all love to see business done quickly this summer. Hope he's not acting the twat again.

You want him to wear a codpiece?

Personally I'm very happy about that. If he can be re-energise and motivated there are few that can compete with Yaya. If his heart is genuinely in the project that's great. I thought he put in a good performance against Southampton.

I have always favoured an evolution of our team, rather than widespread culling and replacement. We still need new energy and youth in our midfield, but if we have a happy and motivated Yaya, imo we are stronger.

I seriously wished yaya and Seluk would just shut up. They bore the tits off me, I am sick of hearing/reading something about them all the time. Why cant they be pro's like Zaba/Silva and their representatives.

I totally agree with you about Yaya's agent, he is incredibly unprofessional. This latest news has come from a tweet by John Bennett of the BBC, retweeted by City_Watch.

That way he can make the decision as to go on a powerful run or pick out some killer passes. In an advanced role I see him getting in silvas way and reducing his space and the high pressing game goes out the window. He needs support in midfield and his performances have been much better with 2 in the middle with him. Especially against Swansea where he scored 2, I thought we played some really good stuff that game and it was one of our best of the season, and Yaya was key to that alongside Silva.

The Ivory Coast midfielder looked on his way out of the Etihad after an inconsistent season was made worse by some criticisms of the club by his agent, Dimitri Seluk.

Seluk has told Sunday Mirror Sport that Toure now feels he is being given the respect he deserves after being told by Sheikh Mansour that he wanted him to stay.

Seluk said: "Yaya is staying - because Sheikh Mansour told him he must stay.

"Mansour told Yaya that he is still a very important player and that he was the first big player to join City after the takeover.

"He told him that City wouldn't even discuss a sale.

"This is good. People have tried to say that Yaya only wanted more money, but it was never about money. It was only about respect."

It is unique for Mansour to personally intervene in a football-related matter, despite investing more than £1billion of his personal fortune into transforming City over the past seven years.
