He says "maybe be better" which is the truth. You don't know what the future could bring. After 06, could any of you have thought that in 2 years time the team would drastically change?

So Ibrahimovic, Bojan and now Toure:

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure says he would've stayed at Barcelona if coach Pep Guardiola had not snubbed him.

The Ivory Coast international is upset with the way he was treated by Guardiola in his final weeks at the Nou Camp.

"Guardiola, when I asked, told me strange things. So I went to City. For a year I could not speak to him.

"If Guardiola had spoken to me I would have stayed at the club. I did not want to leave. I wanted to finish my career at Barca.

"He had no confidence in me. I wanted to stay and he did not."

Does Guardiola just snub players who are not playing well at the time? Bojan, Ibra?

I guess he's not as perfect as we all think.

I know Toure was not playing because he was a fat a$s and I was told by a friend that he liked the night life, claiming all the Barcelona women liked him so much.

I'm not sure Toure will be the last Barca player that leaves to have a bad thing or two to say about Guardiola.

If he is as humble as Keiteee is Pep'd much rather him for the role Keiteee plays in the squad... But that he ain't. And hence the things are the way they are.

But Toure's is a situation which Pep could have easily avoided

Well, a few things...One, I didn't hear the ONA FM interview so can anyone vouch for the accuracy of the quotes and the context?

Two, Ibra & Bojan have no one but themselves to blame...Attitude crept into it...Yaya, if these comments are true, I don't believe can be lumped in with the other two...It'd be a damn shame if they were true, one of my favorite players to have played in a Barca shirt

I thought I recall some speculation that Guardiola tried very personally to get Yaya to stay at one point, non?...Seems a bit odd, I wonder if Pep will be asked about this and if he'll weigh in

My knowledge until today was that Pep couldn't guarantee him first XI football with the emergence of Biscuits and Touré then decided to play alongside his brother at City. Also there were stories about his agent being an asshole and trying to rip Barca off.

Also :lol: at Yaya taking Keita's role. This man is way too good (and expensive considering his wages) to be just a squad player. Though in hindsight: Really could have used him as a first choice CB now. He played that like a boss a few times with us and has the perfect physique for it as well. One of the most complete players I've seen in recent years. CB, DM, CM, he plays like a boss everywhere. Shame we lost him from our squad.
