Yaya wants to stay at Man-City
Yaya Toure has once again underlined his
commitment to Manchester City, insisting he wants to remain at the club
for “as long as possible”.
Toure’s future at City looked uncertain
after his agent Dimitry Seluk suggested the 31-year-old felt he had been
treated disrespectfully by the club.
A poor World Cup with the Ivory Coast and
the death of his younger brother Ibrahim to cancer saw further doubt
cast on Toure’s City future, but the former Barcelona midfielder insists
he is going nowhere.
“It was not a case of leaving the club.
It was difficult because my situation was quite difficult,” he told the
club’s official website. For me I was always quiet and my decision, if
you want to say it like that, is that I will stay at Manchester City for
as long as possible.”

Toure, who scored 24 goals and
contributed 12 assists from 49 appearances for City last season, hopes
the club reinforce the squad in the coming weeks in order to challenge
on multiple fronts.
“I hope a couple of players sign in
because we need to try to build a massive club because if we want to be
the best we need to win every trophy possible,” he added.
“We are looking for the Champions League –
that is an important title this year and the Premier League is going to
be a battle as well between Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Tottenham and
Liverpool too.
“I think it’s going to be very open. We
know we are the team to beat but we have the confidence and we have the
fantastic players coming and I hope this year’s going to be the same
