I know this will make some people mad at the goat reference, but I can't help but laugh that Messi actually did a photoshoot with a bunch of goats.

I was a year old in 94

Yaya Toure Accuses Pep Guardiola of Racism, Says He Doesn't Like African Players

Keita, Abidal, Eto got alot of time when Pep was at Barca. At City Sane, Sterling, Fernandinho, Delph, Walker started the majority of the games. Pep isnt racist. There are certain players who Pep hasnt gotten along with.... Yaya, Zlatan, Eto, Ribery. Say what you want but I highly doubt its a race thing.

Knew it was only a matter of time before he went in on Pep. Just surprised it him this time and not his agent

 

[(ALi)]

His agent back when he was in Barca told the press Pep belongs in a crazy institution. Logically it never sat right with me that he prefered Keita or Busquets over Toure and given he played a significant role in the treble win in Pep's first season.

That midfield trio of Toure, Xavi and Iniesta was the best I've ever seen. Why he broke that defies logic.

Selling him at his peak just tells me it wasn't a sporting decision.
Something is of about him.

Busquets was coming up, Pep coached him at Barca B, the Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi trio won more trophies.

If Yaya felt some type of way about Pep from the Barca days, why didn't he leave before Pep took over at City. It was announced 3/4 months prior Pep was coming, more than enough time for Yaya's agent to get a club or 2 lined up.

He signed a 1 year extension while Pep was at City

Didn't Pep have him play CB instead?

yeah that too.

Cementing Liverpool as the worst club in England. Most greedy club in the world. Wish they shipped more jobs to Manchester.

'It's a disagreement based entirely on governance,' Henry said. 'Everyone in the league knows what the large clubs bring to the value of foreign rights, but the large clubs do not have the votes to change something that should have changed as media rights changed over the past 25 years.'

'Because of this arrangement (the distribution of overseas revenue) and due to parachute payments to relegated clubs, the top three clubs each year in the Premier League receive less overall TV monies than the bottom three clubs when you include parachute payments,' Henry said.

'It's hard to imagine this continuing much longer. In America, where we have closed leagues, you can argue for these types of arrangements, but it's much more difficult to ask independent clubs to subsidise their competitors beyond a certain point when you have relegation and especially with the way media is rapidly changing and being consumed today.'

Yaya beef is about how Pep treated him this season, why does the extension matter? He thought he deserved more respect in his final year.

Seydou Keita said he doesn't speak to Pep but he has respect for him, maybe there is something there/

Due to injuries and suspensions.

Yaya thought he should play more. Yaya still has technical ability but his legs are gone, anyone who watched him this season will tell you that. That's not Peps fault.

Busquets was coming up, Pep coached him at Barca B, the Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi trio won more trophies.

He was coming up, Yaya was World class he had no business taking the midfield reigns over him. Furthermore Yaya could do everything that Busquet's could do and more and if anything they both could have played together but he deemed him to be surplus to requirements after his performances in the season he had. It just doesn't make no sense.
