Yaya Toure

I love Toure, great player and generally brilliant attitude. I wish he was ours.

Just shows how some (maybe most?) top footballers live in lala land, Toure gets nothing but praise from pundits, fans, media etc... everyone recognises him as an absolutely class player.

What more does he want or expect? to mention himself with Messi and Ronaldo suggests his head is stuck right up his own arse, which considering that whole interview makes sense really, same goes for the Iniesta and Xavi comparisons, they have been the 2 key players in a team that has won the World Cup and European Championship x2 along with winning everything there is to win in the club game multiple times.

No Mark. No one in Europe appreciates him cos he's not white. Weren't you listening?

Clearly being white in football is KEY to success.

I know, I know.. but apart from an inferiority complex, pulling the race card and a brother who lurks around doorways & shower rooms, what has Yaya ever done to us?

I don't think it's because he's black, it's because he's African.

If he wanted a higher profile he should have gone somewhere with more prestige rather than the highest wage payers in world sport.

How about George Weah - 3 times African player of the year and a Ballon d'Or winner and FIFA World Player Of The Year. It seems he was highly regarded. Come to think of it I don't think I ever saw him play.

I presume he was pretty good - Better than Yaya?

EDIT: LOL - I just read that he played for Chelsea and Citeh - The late 90's were a fucking blur to me!

Hahaha. I thought Toure was imagining things until I read this post.

You wouldn't have forgotten Zidane if he played in the premiership, WOULD YOU?

I met weah in 2006, played ball with him in Florida,

Who's Zidane?

 

[peterhague]

He's a French footballer.

Of African origin. 😱

 

[Red Astaire]

Oh THAT Zidane! No wonder I forgot about him if he's of African origin.....

I don't think it's because he's black, it's because he's African.

You say tomato, I say tomato...

Wow.

 

[Whaddapie]

Don't know a single person who's opinion on football I respect who doesn't consider Yaya amoung the world's best players... Load of rubbish, that 'artical'.

 

[Spionkop69]

Wow.

Care to elaborate? Before you start, my response that you quoted was tongue in cheek.

How about you also give us your opinion on Toure's comments?

What, no intervention from the society of black lawyers?
