[Football] Yaya Toure

[Stat Brother]

He won’t

I know, I was momentarily excited, then I realised what I was expecting and from whom.
Naturally I knew it was an empty promise that'll probably be backtracked.

 

[BensGrandad]

One day he'll stay true to his word and not follow me round the board replying to everything I write.

Because you are such an unintelligent p..t who tries to wind me up but isnt clever enough to do it effectively.

Fair points so far, £100k is a lot of dosh for his age and he can throw strops and stuff.
But if he has still got it he is pure class, at his best he was unplayable, but when he threw his toys he was also unplayable.
Tony likes a gamble though.

£200K a week, and throws a wobbly when somebody doesn't buy him a birthday cake....big team player? Nah, don't want him here. He's the sort who will go and play noddy football for big bucks. Some footballers, having already become as rich as Croesus, will go on playing for the love of the game - even if on less money (as in, they don't know how to spend any more) - but I don't see him as one of them.
Abu Dhabi paying more money (with weekly celebration cakes, presented by his humble team mates in mute adoration) than, say, Russia, he'll go.......


.....I'll leave the answer to that up to you.........................

 

[Stat Brother]

and yet here he is jumping on everything I write, having previously said 'I'll never reply to you again' doing a particularly good impression of someone getting wound up.

Nighty night all

I thin k that we need an old head to call on when needed hence my suggestion of both Milner who will bcome4 abit player at Liverpool or more realistically Toure who WANTS another year in the Premier and must realise that he wont get big wages.

Does he realise that? I doubt it.

It may, of course, all be coming from his agent, who is doubtless out for every penny, but he should still be able to see through that. If he can't , then I wouldn't want him at The Amex.

He might fancy it, but not if he's only going to get an offer of £75k per week when a Chinese team will offer him five times that.

Toure is way, way out of our budget range and frankly I'm glad. We have what appears to be a decent set-up, with a bunch of players in the same sort of wage bracket, broadly speaking, who seem to want to fight for each other. Parachuting in one notoriously temperamental individual on wages significantly higher than others can only upset that balance.

No thanks.

 

[BensGrandad]

Not getting wound up just showing what a. you are.

He'll probably end up in either China or the USA, the only leagues, where his diminished pace won't be noticed!

 

[BensGrandad]

While China India or the USA seem the obvious it is reported that he wants to stay in the Premier for 1 more season somewhere.

Can’t believe you are debating the merits of signing Yaya Toure with BG......

He’s temperamental knob - wouldn’t want him anywhere near our club.

I'm not. I'm saying I wouldn't want him here.

 

[Official Old Man]

£200k a week and not even playing. Sums up football in our modern times.

Is this thread honestly for real?

People discussing if Yaya Toure will be signing for Brighton?

We are not we are, as supporters, discussing whether or not should the club be interested or not. We have no input to the clubs view just our own personal opinion.

 

[Easy 10]

Interview in The Guardian with him today:

But having claimed in 2015 that his achievements in England have not been properly recognised, the four-times African player of the year reiterated his opinion and said United’s Paul Pogba often suffers from the same perception. “Maybe when I am retired from football I will have more respect,” Touré said. “What I have achieved and what I have done, I don’t think I get enough.

“That is why I am a little bit sad because people put a lot of pressure on Paul Pogba. We are different. When you see the type of run [I do], how many times you can do it, box to box, and be able to start the ball from defence and be able to finish as well. And in how many games in the Premier League, Champions League, national team, the travelling, and not have an injury for many years [you can see what I did].”

Yep, why not, class player and available and apparently up for doing a deal if you look at some of the posts.
But it's only a discussion that is what this thing is for.
Doesn't mean to say he will, doesn't mean to say people want him here.
Too expensive? (wages) too sulky? too billy big bollox? all maybe.
But also one of the best players ever to grace the PL and its on a free.
But it's just a discussion for views on the matter, nothing serious.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Was one of the titans of the prem for sure, but that's a big WAS, I think his bolt is shot.
