Am I alone in finding these comments hugely embarrassing?

He makes himself sound like a petulant, egotistic sore loser. Although after cake-gate I guess it doesn't surprise me.

Needs to concentrate on putting in a shift for us now, and I don't fancy him to still be with us next season on current form, and if, as expected, Guardiola comes in the summer, he'll be keen to see the back of the lazy sod anyhow.
 
No you are not.

WTF? Talk about petulant. Toys out of the pram when he should have more grace and offer his congratulations to the winner.

Was Guardiola the manager at Barca when Toure departed?
 
Certainly hasn't done himself any favours with this nonsense he's spouting.
Grow up Yaya for goodness sake, you are embarrassing yourself!
 
Hopefully Pep will show him the door again.
Has done a fantastic job for us he took us to the next level but unlike
His fellow travelers Silva Kun and Vinie he is not a team player
 
They are all the more astonishing coming from someone who is supposed to be a role model. Pathetic in the extreme :no:
 
according to VMC Admin -Sky Sports have the 32 year old quoted as saying those things.

To win a trophy, you have to earn it Yaya and this season you have hardly headed the field, only when you want to.
 
I came into the room and caught the very end of a brief clip on SSN yesterday as he was being interviewed.

 
It wouldn't surprise me if they have been taken out of context? Typical of the media to put Mr K in a negative light - although if true he does come across as a bad loser, worthy of going on Come Dine With Me - anyone who saw the episode at the start of the week will know where I'm coming from.

Perhaps he could bake his fellow contestants something with icing on it...

Interview took place with Radio TFI in French Guyana
 
I can see where he's coming from, I don't necessarily agree with him but the point he makes is an interesting one. Aubamayeng is after all French.

I don't think it's fair to say that he didn't congratulate Aubamayeng, he said he wants to credit him and complimented him by saying he's brilliant. A lot of reports didn't include that bit at the end.

 
What annoys me more than anything else is that he's again given yhe hacks a sniff, a throwback to the days when some City players gobbed off on public. We've been spared that since City shored the club up and the squads moved to the Campus.

He stayed in MCR today. Not sure his head is in the right place, but I maintain that what happened to his kid brother, well I don't think he has been the same bloke since. A lot of his interviews have been edged with bitterness.
 
Yaya's agent doesn't stay quiet very long. Should be fun if/when we acquire the new manager!
