We should sign him this summer he's clearly moving on and would love it up here.........No I'm not Monty

What a horrible mercenary this bloke is he and his agent have used every weak excuse in the book to cast city in a bad light and now he's got his mouthpiece spouting about pellegrini beak a a weak manager. If I was Pellegrini I'd sue this is a disgruntled employee slandering him in the press for his own personal gain. For me Toure is everything wrong with football if he did all this behind closed doors and got one with his football fair enough but he has his agent leak things to press and give interviews such as this damming his immediate supervisor and why? Because inter or some other 2nd tier Euro club with dodgey financials has promised him more money than the obscene amount he already gets just a leech on the wallet of the world's fans and he wouldn't have it any other way
 
Class player last season but I agree about his methods. He comes across as a total mercenary at the behest of his agent. I have more respect for players who either have morals or simply admit that they want to make as much money as they can.

He's always a total beast when he plays us, I think they have something crazy like 11 straight wins against us in the league (though we've beaten them 2-3 times in the cup in that time)/ As you say flat-track bully, and tracks get no flatter than playing the Toon.

He's WA*K really, never made it at Barca, flat track bully against crap like Cattermole, doesn't run enough and not a team man.

I never thought I'd read that in a million years. He's got attitude problems, Pellegrini seems to have isolated Nasri and lost the entire dressing room though, not just Yaya Toure, the team is just not trying, but make no mistake about it, their best 11 on form, would beat any team in this league.

Yaya Toure on his day is boss of this league, but he just looks so disinterested under Pellegrini.

As for not making it at Barca, he's completely the wrong type of player for what they needed at the time. He barely ever hits the deck to a soft tackle, he just didn't conform to the pussy-like theatrics that ****ing gimp Guardiola evolves his entire game around.

Wouldn't agree with that. Yaya Toure was a defensive lynch pin for them. They won the Champs League and the league twice whilst he was there in his three years. I didn't rate his attacking ability until the last 2 years (not including this one) as he wasnt really that lethal before. Now he's either old and lost it or he's just disinterested and gotten lazy. Either way he isn't working hard enough for the team (and it was the same in the world cup for the IC).

You don't sell lynchpins mate. He wasn't part of what Guardiola wanted to do, Kolo Toure blames Guardiola for Toure being suppressed at Barca I've read loads of things where it suggests the guy didn't know what to do with him.

Busquets hit the floor every time, that's why Pep loved him, Yaya was finished as soon as he evolved from the youths.

Toure has been a powerhouse forward waiting to be uncaged for years, Pellegrini has somehow ****ed him off and the guy has a bad attitude to boot.

They should have bought him that ****ing cake.

You do. Real did it with Makelele. It's the unfashionable part of the team. At Barca (admittedly i didn't watch them week in week out), he was the defensive anchor and did it brilliantly as far as i was concerned cause yaya is so strong. He's got a great pass on him and actually worked for the team as its barca and his ego is not what it is now. Unfortunately for him, Busquets came through who is younger, just as effective in that role and a local lad. Plus they got a nice sum from City at the time.

if you say lynchpin to me it means an integral part of a team, you clearly mean combative DM.

Toure was never integral to Barca, he played in a position that became redundant in the 'tiki-taka' era.

For somebody to say the most dominant player in the league for the past few years is '****' is astonishing to me.
