Yaya Toure

Absolutely scandalous. I don't understand why City don't use their money to try and sign the very best players out there. Whats the point in this signing? He's hardly a world beater.

Last big pay day in a top league. A dawg gotta get paid.

Send  him off to Russia,he  can  make a few Million, then retire and complain about how he was racially abused there!

He is endemic of the squad that Man City have built over the past 5 years or so -  massively overpaid, mostly lazy players with no real aspirations or hunger to make City a top club/team. As I've said before most of these guys are just pay cheque players - the only thing that really matters to them is their bulging bank accounts. Yaya Toure is the perfect example of this - just look at his god awful displays in Europe over the last 2 seasons.

I agree Baggio - he has been sensational at times domestically. When he has a good day in the premier league he can be devastating, but the step up to Champions league level from the English league is absolutely massive.

Roberto Baggio wrote: Yeah it doesn't surprise me either.   To be honest i'm just waiting for the day the likes of Aguero or Silva say they want to go to Real Madrid or something. No story like this would surprise me any more in football and especially with foreign players playing in England. These lads have no ties or allegiances to any clubs and are out to make as much money as they can - we've seen it so much in recent years it shouldn't surprise any of us. Drogba playing in China like, wat the f**ks that all about? Suppose there are one or two like Kompany or Zabaleta who it would surprise me a bit if they did this sort of thing, but those type of players are becoming less common in the game.   Im waffling a bit here i do realise!

In fairness to Drogba, he has done a ridiculous amount of charity work in the Ivory Coast. I remember reading an article before the African Nations Cup a few years ago that said Drogba had singlehandedly rebuilt a town in the Ivory Coast. A school, hospital & other amenities were built from scratch by Drogba. Last year he was completely honest about finding a new club. He said he had 1 maybe 2 years left & wanted a mega pay deal to set himself up for life. In fairness I liked Drogba after reading the article & like I said, at least he was 100% honest.

Players like Toure just make me hate football. Assou Ekotto is another player I hate, didn't he come out a few years ago & say he hated football & he's only in it for money?

His younger brother has died ,Toure Oyala Ibrahim , tragic.
