ITV Link Yaya Toure's agent claims the Ivory Coast midfielder may leave Premier League champions Manchester City this summer. Dimitry Seluk claims City have not made Toure feel valued and appreciated, especially on his 31st birthday which clashed with a party in Abu Dhabi to celebrate City's title triumph. Is this really true or have ITV whooshed us all?
Reminds me of an Ecuadorian Southampton player a few years ago called Delgado. Despite being a fringe player that was set to leave, he had a massive tantrum when the entire club didn't stop to celebrate with him. Having said that Toure deserves whatever he wants for his birthday.

You lot do understand he doesn't actually care don't you? He just wants a pay rise. Watch his agent link him to some clubs in the next few days.
Bloody hell, I thought this was wind up ! Not appreciated ? What did he want ? Some john lewis vouchers so he can buy what his £200 000 a week can't buy ? He has just won the league in the best league in the world and had a cracking season ! Don't think the manager or even the owners will stand for this. Some poor sods in lower leagues will be without a club come July worried about his mortgage. Times like this really don't care about being in the premier league.
Footballers really are a pathetic bunch sometimes aren't they. So did Vydra down tools and start sulking when he didn't get any Christmas cards
A rather clumsy and embarrassing effort from the agent to get his client another pay rise. Where does the greed of players and their agents stop ? There are several highly promising players in Toure's role from France, South America or someone like Onazi (not an Irish fascist) at Lazio who could fill his shoes in time.
It's the sort of thing that would be too ridiculous to have put in a Dream Team script. And remember Harchester's captain was killed by a sniper at Wembley after winning the FA Cup. RIP
In African culture not recognising somebodies birthday is seen the same as wishing somebody was aborted at birth. And I just made that up.
Look guys, fact is he didn't get a Bugatti or the scaletrix he really wanted for his birthday and that can really hurt you know? It definitely isn't his **** of an agent playing games. Can't they just call his bluff, hold him to his contract? They've got enough money to get others in and put him on the bench
Dear Yaya, We really really think you're fab (not Fabb, who isn't as good as you), and I'd like to mark this momentous birthday event by giving you my own personal vintage Reliant Robin which will be painted in the colour of your choice (so long as it isn't orange). I know money isn't important to you, what with you being in The Times today as one of Britain's 30 richest sportsmen, but I'm sure Watford could run to £2000 a week. You can lodge in my spare room until you can find a 30-bedroom mansion somewhere in Borehamwood. Much love, Moog
