    Strange really, as he was a Busquets/Xavi type player when he was last with him. It's with City where he's really made his name, what makes him think he's going to be given that freedom to roam forward at Barca?

    Still, it's pretty funny and destabalises City, so that's good.

    He won't even be the best right back at the club. Minimal games for a maximum return. Says a lot about him.

    Funny thing is that it's really out of the blue. He's 31 now and is in the best form of his career.

    If he wants more money, just hire Wazza's agent.

    Toure and Sagna, birds of a feather. All that shit players go on about, ambition, winning stuff, blah, blah - it's money and only money they give a shit about. There must be at least a few exceptions, but not these two, that's for sure. Toure earns a fortune, has a PL medal in his claw, he didn't get any of that single handedly, it was the result of a big operation involving many individuals. But his me, me, me to the exclusion of all else philosophy would never appreciate that. Time for the next big money move. Sagna earns a fortune, has a Cup medal in his claw, he didn't get any of it single handedly (that's for fucking sure), it was the result of a big operation involving many individuals. Me, me, me, show me the money.

    Cashley Cole never shook his deserved reputation for pure greed. These two are part of the same club and hopefully their inestimable greed will be their legacy.

    It's no comparison. Toure can retire knowing he's won the CL, leagues and cups in La Liga and Premiership. Sagna only has the FA Cup to his name. Toure just signed a new deal and is now trying to use his agent to engineer a move away to another club. Sagna saw out his contract and declined Arsenal's offer. He's not even the highest paid player in the squad or even close to that bracket. In the prime of his career he's been on a low contract whilst seeing big deals rolled out to players that lack the same consistency. But they're rewarded because they're younger.

    Not exactly fair, they care about all the things money can buy like alcohol, drugs, cars and gash

    And anyone who feels compelled to reply Yaya Toure is a Muzza, so were the 9/11 hijackers they were still seen in nightclubs doing a copious amount of booze and blow and cavorting with hookers.

    Totally agree, but it's OK to give players like Wilshere big contracts when they've achived nothing apparently, he's a loyal soul after all (despite being handed big money contracts on a plate all his career).

    On the face of it Cole's move worked out well for him, financially and in footballing terms, if he'd stayed like you suggest he'd have precious little to show for it.

    I guess he could have told his children he played in the CL for X amount of times in a row thanks to 4th place finishes.

    Yeah, though I don't think there is really much separating him and Zabaleta.

    I personally think Sagna will get his fair share of games there, City could also use him at Centre Back.

    We might not like it but the reality is we're losing a very good established international player in Sagna.
