https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44364542 So Toure has said that Pep "Often has problems with Africans". Unless he's going to back that up with specifics he needs to shut it, if he can then do it and expose Pep. Equally Pep should take him to the cleaners if there nothing to back this.
Samuel Eto alluded to much of the same many times without being so frank as to flat out say it. Who knows?
Tenxds to be players that Pep has effectively binned that allude to some problem that deflects from them not being automatic first choice any more ... funny that
I agree. If he’s got some genuine examples of what he’s suggesting then he should state them and back up his assertion otherwise he should shut the **** up. Odd that he never felt the need to mention this when City were paying him 250 large per week. Sounds like a bitter man taking a low blow to me. Hardly a shocker seeing as the cry arse threatened to leave City over the lack of a birthday cake.
Yeah gotta agree with Tobes and luv here. He can't be saying that without giving more information and providing details. Of course if there's truth to it then it needs to be acted on but seems like sour grapes to me. Always thought Yaya been a bit of a **** tbh.
What a daft thing to say. The allegation is that he was binned because of his colour, of course it would come from a binned player otherwise it would make no sense.
Agree. Sounds very bitter from Yaya Toure. Maybe he should just accept the fact that they played an unbelievable season without his help. Nothing to do with Africa, sounds like it's more to do with him not being a team player.
But it's not the first time Toure has been dropped by Pep. When he was last rejected by him he came to City and was one of the top players in the league. I don't know whether the allegation is right, but he clearly doesn't like Toure. Of course, that could be for other reasons.
Toure seemingly has always been a bit of a drama queen, I'm not sure how that explains Sterling getting a game under Pep but in terms of Yaya Toure I think he's probably a diva and Pep wants the team playing for each other, which they clearly do. Sol Campbell will be along soon to sort it all out.
The allegation is that he doesn't like Africans. Presumably black Africans if the pursuit of Mahrez is anything to go by.
It might have something to do with him having an ego the size of Wales and him strolling around like he doesn’t give a **** for half of an average game.......I can 100% see why Pep was never really having him as a player.
Toure was a good player at times but only if he felt like putting the effort in so I can see why Pep wouldn't rate him.
Not daft at all ... l suspect any problems Pep had with Yaya had more to do with his ego than his nationality ... birthday cake anyone? ... and it's you that has mentioned colour... daft thing to say ... Sterling, Sane, Fernandino, Walker, Jesus and co don't seem to be complaining ...
None of whom are African. Read the allegation before you offer your opinion on it. Anyway you said it was sour grapes because he wasn't played much, where his allegation is offering a reason why he wasn't played much, would hardly come from Walker, Fernandinho or Sterling cause they were often in the team. His allegation was echoed by Samuel Et'o by the way. None of us know for a fact whether it is Toure's ego or whether Pep has a dislike of black Africans (my suspicion is that it is the former - but I'll keep an open mind on it until I read more about it)..
