Apparently there were pics of him being given a birthday cake on Citeh sites a few days back. Agent being a dick.

Apparently it was done in silence and no one sang Happy Birthday to him. Bunch of voles, ooi tells yer

this birthday 'fall out' can't be serious can it.

[destinydude]

The agent is a tool. If you want a better contract, ask for it. Don't behave like a petulant kid.

I'm on £250,000 a week.... no one sings to me on my birthday..

Agent Kolo

"Those *******s don't love ya bro"

I thought the Yaya going to Liverpool and being treated like a god was a Shaggy edit!

Strange he name checked us we couldn't afford him obviously, they'd never sell him to us either but I can dream

Kolo been telling him how great we are.

It kind of is, but a very classy edit just to seamlessly take out a reference

Jokes aside. Please do not take words that do not come out of MY mouth seriously. Judge my commitment to @MCFC by my performances.

[Shaggy]

Wow

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.

Everything dimitry said is true . He speaks for me . I will give an interview after world cup to explain

[Sarb]

He has just come out and backed everything his agent said

[Kenneth]

Weird.

[Pablo]

Footballers are so out of touch with reality these days

[Muddled]

None of them shook his hand on his birthday. It's really sick. He got a cake but when it was Roberto Carlos's birthday, the president of Anzhi gave him a Bugatti. I don't expect City to present Yaya with a Bugatti, we only asked that they shook his hand and said 'we congratulate you'. It is the minimum they must do when it is his birthday and the squad is all together. Of course Yaya is upset about this. It is his birthday and nobody said anything or shook his hand, so he does not feel comfortable. If this happened to you as a journalist in the BBC and nobody shakes your hand, you will say bye-bye and go to work for somebody else. It is normal. I have spoken to him about leaving and we will see what happens, but, at the moment, Yaya is really upset.

If nobody creates a Happy Birthday thread for me this year, I will say bye-bye and post for somebody else.
