Yaya Toure

Post by Im_not_Robbie_Blake » Sun Aug 12, 2018 4:13 pm

Still without a club.

Says he will play for £1 per week, but it looks more like he means £100,000 per week.

Interesting that no-one will take him on. The other reason for lack of interest could be that he's simply past it!

The comments he made against Pep is probably one of the reasons nobody seemingly wants him.

Strange. He has just spent £60m on one.

Not sure he's got the legs for 90minutes, he'd be a great impact sub to bring on at 60minutes. Side note, I thought Westwood was brilliant today - never gets the credit he deserves IMO.

Great player in his day. Still got a lot to offer. Not sure if he’d fit in our Wage Structure or Team Ethic.

He certainly is a complete t***

I also wouldn't take him for football reasons, certainly not over Westwood who has been superb.

I think he'd be at the club if it was so simple. I'd probably go with not fitting into the team's ethos.

He doesn't come across as the sort of person who would gel with our group of players. Instead, he'd just **** everybody off.

A lot of assumptions being made here. Based on exactly what I'm not too sure.

Maybe he'll be the replacement for Defour when he goes to China, eh Ian?

Is that because he made them against'Pep' or just that he passed an opinion.

A lot of people seem 'savvy' to the relationship between him and 'Pep' Guardiola.

As long as we remember to buy him a birthday cake then I’m sure he’ll be fine.

That he came out and publicly criticised a manager, basically claiming he was racist. It doesn't matter who the manager he criticised is.

One man will know what he is like in the dressing room and that's Joe Hart

If he is positive about the guy then would SD take a punt

I think it might do for you when Guardiola is involved, surely ;)
