The lack of irony was certainly staggering, produces Dave Kidd for the Sunday People. Dimitri Seluk, the representative of Yaya Toure, the best earner at the club on earth, moaned: aAround the stadium, while there are Apictures of every player of City commemorating their new Asuccesses, there's not a single certainly one of Yaya. At the Blues membership look you will find shirts to buy with the name of each and every player, however, not Yayaas.a All around austerity Britain and war-torn Ivory Coast, bears bled and the sound of violins reverberated. Toure makes A220,000 each week. His monthly wage slide might demonstrate basic pay of A953,000. His yearly P60 says he makes A11.44million. Or A34.32m in the three months he has used at Manchester City. Yet as Seluk said: aThis is not about income a a pat on the trunk is more important than anything.a Now, it's well chronicled with this page that satire died way back when in the world of football. That the past vestiges of self-awareness vanished from the Premier League time in the late 20th century. Forget that City moved quickly to deny Selukas states and pointed out that there were, indeed, huge posters of Yaya Toure decorating the Etihad Stadium and that gamblers were more than entitled to have his name printed on the backs of these reproduction jerseys, at no little cost. Forget that, not even close to being unloved, Yayaas name have been sung to high heaven by Cityas spectacular away Asupport on a night at Southampton last month, all through one of many lousiest performances ever given by a group of defending English champions. 'This is not about money a a pat on the trunk is more important' states representative Jordan Regan Even without these details, Selukas remarks would have been a perfect example of the wonderful random comedy which soccer only keeps on giving. Seluk had also complained that no City staff supported Toure, nor organized a personal plane for him, when he went along to get his Africa Player of the Season award. So he's now agitating for a ticket out of the Etihad, threatening the winners with a contract of this weekend before the big midfielder buys herself out of his commitment. Selukas meeting couldn't possibly have already been given without Toureas Apermission a and it was carefully planted at a time once the player was absent in Africa, on international work. It states that Seluk isn't just Toureas agent but that the ball player is so near the Russian that he describes him as adada a and, certainly, had any person discussed you such eye-popping amounts of money, youad contact him any expression of endearment he wished for. Once we stated that their group was filled by mercenaries to think that a lot of us were Ashouted down by City followers. Though there are some at the Etihad who fondly remember their days Astanding with inflatable bananas on the Kippax terrace at Maine Road Asupporting some different Manchester City. They recall Ian Bishop and Trevor Morley and a triumph over United in 1989, that was a wonderful flash-in-the-pan in an period of reassuring, Ashambling mess. They Aremember a soccer club which may not need experienced wallpaper but featured a soul and heart. Scarf ace: Mancini admits City have rested on their laurels Getty Roberto Mancini has, to his credit, reported with integrity that many of his players have rested on the laurels this season. That they thought they'd managed to get. They have perhaps not held the Anecessary starvation to maintain their name. Toure is not the worst reason but his performances have certainly dipped since the massive exhibits that motivated City last term. And at 29, several participants on filthy-rich contracts may find that new offers are hard to strike. Mancini might not be about to try and wrest that title back from United next period. But while we may have Adoubted his man-management capabilities Aduring the Carlos Tevez ordeal last time and his prolonged Aindulgence of Mario Balotelli, we may look straight back on Mancinias tenure and recognize precisely how big an achievement it was for the Italian to actually get a title with such a selfish band of people. Despite Sheikh Mansouras millions, the Premier League top was no foregone summary a but Aretaining the title and making an impact in the Champions League have proved beyond Mancini. The team spirit fostered over decades at Manchester United cannot just be purchased. City was joined by world-class talents like Toure, Tevez, David Silva and Sergio Aguero largely for the amount of money. And prosperity may increase a manas vanity to such a degree he provides green light for a real estate agent such as Seluk to Apublicly embarrass him. Possibly bad Toure really may take off to the range, whistling that anthem to isolation Blue Moon. All for the want of a bloody great poster or a pat on the back. And maybe City will soon be better off without him.
