Agent plans January exit for Toure, predicts doom for Manchester

-

Football agent Dimitri Seluk says his clint Yaya Toure is closing in on a pre-contract with a European club in January, ahead of a move away from the Etihad and insists the club will lose fans in Africa because of Pep Guardiola.
Yaya Toure will consider signing a pre-contract agreement with another European club in January after Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola sunbbed the Ivorian in his squad for the Champions League group stage.
The 33-year-old has been cut adrift by the new City manager this season but the Independent says the 33-year old is nonetheless likely to attract interest from across the continent after being crowned as African Football of the Year on four occasions.

“They will lose a lot of millions of supporters from Africa because of this decision from Guardiola. Now they will support Manchester United. A lot of people in Africa say they will never see any more matches of City on TV.
“Yaya in January can sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs abroad. He will have many offers from clubs. China and America of course they want him but we will have a lot of offers from England and Europe.
“He is in very good shape, very good condition, I think he lost seven kilograms. Maybe that’s not good enough for Guardiola, but then Zlatan Ibrahimovic wasn’t good enough for him. In January we will see. It is three months to wait — no problem. Yaya is a very professional guy.” Seluk who blasted Guardiola on Sunday told the Daily Mail
Toure was famously allowed to leave Barcelona in 2010 during Guardiola’s four-year spell at the Nou Camp and his agent insists that he lost seven kilograms of weight in an attempt to impress the Catalan ahead of his arrival in the North West this summer.
The Ivorian contract at the Etihad expires at the end of the current campaign.

Zlatan holds back the clock but time's up for Rooney

  The Swedish striker shows no sign of letting up despite his age but the writing is on the wall for his Old Trafford captain who is not missed in the starting XI or squad COMMENT BY LINEARSPORTS The latest signal that Wayne Rooney serves no purpose for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United came not in a game when he played badly or appeared out of his depth but one in which he was completely absent. The United squad stepped off the coach at Old Trafford for their Boxing Day fixture against Sunderland without Rooney, providing the decisive clue that he wouldn’t be involved. He had pulled up with an injury during Christmas Day training and Mourinho is already planning for Saturday's match at home to Middlesbrough without him. "Honestly I don't think so,” he said of Rooney’s chances of recovering in time. “Let's see. It's not a big deal but in four days I have my doubts." He probably wouldn’t start anyway, not the way United are p...

James Milner: From bit part at City to big shot at Liverpool

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open fo...
