On the day Yaya announced his international retirement, the curtain looks to have finally come down for him at City too. My coach deserves respect because I know he wants to win and if he doesnt play me there is always a reason. Lundekvam played more than 350 games for Southampton and is now a successful TV pundit in Norway having overcome his addictions. Even a fourth successive defeat at Northampton in tonights? EFL Cup-tie will not alter the unshakeable boardroom belief in him. Jesus was wanted by Barcelona, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, so Guardiola’s phone call was a real coup. Mr Seluk must go to the media and apologise to Manchester City first. When that happens Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games. He played 92 games for Barcelona B before moving to Portugal. The first thing he did when he arrived at City was to pick a fight with Yaya and Joe Hart, two of the clubs biggest players. Even Wayne Rooney, the captain, is feeling the pinch.
