Especially when we send Gibbs across instead.
I'd rather just send Ox.
I'd rather they didn't get anything from us at all, unless it's a deadly virus or something.
So just Welbeck then.
😆 Exactly.
some of the skills there.
Yaya Toure is so weird:
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jan/08/yaya-toure-reacts-angrily-to-not-being-named-african-footballer-of-the-year-reports
Touré, who was named African footballer of the year in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, is reported to have said: “I’m very, very disappointed. It’s sad to see Africa react this way, that they don’t think African achievements are important. “I think this is what brings shame to Africa, because to act in that way is indecent. But what can we do about it? Us Africans, we don’t show that Africa is important in our eyes. We favour more what’s abroad than our own continent. That is pathetic. “As I’ve been told many times, you can’t take care of Africa too much because Africa will be the first to let you down.”

Poor Yaya 😆 Being overlooked obviously messes with his mind
Damn, what a weird cat! 😆
I love how every interview with Yaya reads like an article from The Onion.
where's aubameyang from? is he like an immigrant to africa or something or first gen, and yaya be doing his african trump impersonation?
Yaya's referring to how he (with marginal help from the rest of the Ivory Coast) won CAN last year.
yea, but i didn't understand the whole africa this africa that outsiders, insiders part
He probably felt that how they perform in a tournament held in Africa should count more than what players do in European leagues.
Makes sense, cheers
Yaya wouldn't have won it on a couple of previous occasions then I suppose. 🙂
Why not? Obviously if there's no ACN then you go by club performances is what he'll say.
He has won it three or four times though, hasn't he? Must have been at least once where there was an ACN where Ivory Coast didn't win it I reckon.
He's an asshole. Aubameyang has been head and shoulders above any African player last year. And I would probably give Mahrez second place ahead of Toure. This guy is a massive baby. He needs to take a chill pill and be more laid back like the Liverpudlian car salesman.
