[Football] What should Man City have bought Yaya Toure for his b day?

[Iggle Piggle]

I think someone who earns 6 figures a week would like a hand made bag by one of the shiekhs with a broken zip to prove it's not professionally made

"Last summer the agent also said Toure felt mistreated, before the Ivorian signed a four-year contract later that month."

What a surprise.

I am sure TB wouldn't forget. Get him in now as cover for Rohan.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

The cards in the shop Yaya.

Bet he would LOVE that joke.

 

[Frutos]

Could do a job?

Now now, City have just been fined £50M. They need to start reigning in the costs and first on the list was stopping buying players birthday cards.

How about some salt and vinegar to go with that chip on his shoulder?

[Weststander]

should have bought him ...... another trophy.

 

[The Wizard]

Magnificent player but my god what a chip he has on his shoulder, i think he actually considers himself royalty.

 

[Grombleton]

More toys. it appears he has chucked some of his out.

 

[GreersElbow]

Coka Kolo

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Wonder if he fancies dropping down a division..... Could do a (several) jobs.

 

[SurreySeagulls]

Didums Yaya. Your agent has made you look a complete an utter prick.

 

[Blackadder]

A slap up dinner...................... with Nigel Farage.

 

[Paris]

Blatantly angling for a move back to Barcelona. Him and his agent will have to do better than this though.

 

[Hillian1]

Goodness me, that really is quite pathetic.

"Carlos got a Bugatti, Yaya only got a cake."

 

[The Fifth Column]

They should have bought him a lovely shiny brass bell and a plaque with the word 'End' mounted on it.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

From the title I assumed that his birthday was completely ignored by the club, at which point I'd sort of get it. Regardless of how much you get paid, or what job you do, it's nice to feel appreciated on a human level.

Then I actually read the article and I'm now trying to decide whether Toure is actually aware how much of a tit his agent has made him look. It's not quite Ashley Cole 'swerving off the road' at his lowly offer of 30k a week but it's in that direction.

I thought that's what Africa players did ... you keep quiet about your birthday, and don't add one to your age.

That's how Kanu stayed so young. Scandals and bans involving Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Ivory Coast, poor Man City, just thought it was the done thing.

No-one has "remembered" #cough Joseph Minala birthday for about 20 years!
