Reports in today's paper have been suggesting that Yaya Toure is one unhappy bunny.
According to his agent, the Ivorian midfielder feels disrespected, adding that City did nothing to celebrate his birthday earlier this month.
"When your best worker has his birthday from time to time it’s not bad to shake his hand. To make him feel valued and appreciated. They don’t give any attention to Yaya," Dimitry Seluk told The Sun.
That's not exactly true though because City did get him a cake aboard a recent flight, although most of the players - birthday boy included - were quite subdued.
Toure has also distanced himself from the comments made:
Jokes aside. Please do not take words that do not come out of MY mouth seriously. Judge my commitment to @MCFC by my performances.

However his latest tweets seem to be reopening the can of worms...
My agent was trying to make a point here on my behalf, joke aside.It seems important for me to make a statement..i am going to do so.
