Toure considers future over lack of handshake

[domprague]

Dear Mr Toure, please just ask for a transfer request and stop making yourself look like a plonker. Sulking over the lack of a handshake - how old are you?

I was about to write up a topic about this. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is outrageous. He's a grown man and he's upset about such a silly thing. Of course it could just be his agent blowing things out of proportion and he's just casually agreed with him but even so it's just sad.  fp.gif

I'd be astounded if he left because of this and I might change my opinion of who my favourite midfielder is.

Well, I'll gladly offer him a birthday handshake, or even a blow job, if he wanted to play for us for a season.

Weird one.

Looks like he got a cake rather than a shake from the Sheikh.

Think it might go a bit deeper than just the lack of birthday

[Macedo]

Now, that defines "taking one for the team".    067.gif

I'd be over the moon if my work gave me a cake and a tweet for my birthday, let alone £280k a week!

[Me-ate-Live, innit??]

Isn't this  the point made by Hodgson ??????


It is about not being valued and feeling alienated and that does not change with the salary,  ............................
some team is going to get a very good player

[Berserker]

I think you should ask for a handshake after as well. No sense in YOU leaving the transaction feeling underappreciated.

This actually made me a bit sad: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27484049

Regardless of what the owners did or didn't do, Toure's reaction is plain rude. Someone earning an annual salary which is probably less than a tenth of what he earns a week has spent time and effort making a cake for him and he's completely unappreciative of the gesture. All he can think about is his ego. It's just pathetic.

Just really rubs me up the wrong way. We cheer these footballers on every week and kids look up to them as heroes but they just don't live in the real world.

[Logicalman]

This is all supposing the agent isn't having a daft half-hour and there's a semblance of truth to it all.

[BigbadBillyMcKinley]

It might be his last ever birthday. You never know!

He seems to be just ignoring them. p****.

Apparently it's an attempt to get Barca interested in him again after a management change, as he's said before that he wants to end his career there. Some City fans reckon it wouldn't be the end of the world to cash in on him now considering his market value is as high as it's ever going to be for a 31 year old who will miss playing time through being at the AFCON next season. They said Silva would be a bigger loss, which does surprise me as someone from the outside looking in.
