Agent: Play Toure or he's off
The 26-year-old midfielder, the younger brother of Manchester City ace Kolo, is current out of the first-team picture at the Nou Camp.[LNB]Toure has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City due to his agent Dimitri Seluk's concern over his situation.[LNB]Seluk has warned manager Josep Guardiola that his client's squad status must change or run the risk of losing him come the New Year.[LNB]"The situation must change soon or the kid leaves Barcelona in January," explained Seluk in The Sun. "Yaya is not on the bench and this situation isn't helpful for them or us. We do not understand Barca's motives.[LNB]"If a club like Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City are interested in the transfer window, then we are open to negotiation."[LNB]Barcelona president Joan Laporta insists it is normal for the player's representative to complain about a lack of first-team action and does not expect the former Monaco man to leave.[LNB]The Barca supremo told Spanish media: "I am convinced that Yaya Toure will be a Barca player for many years and we have not decided to sell.[LNB]"The kid offers big performances for the team and I am personally a fan of Toure. The quotes are normal because he is a first-class player who wants more playing time. [LNB]"Toure is wanted by the coaches. I am not preoccupied by the quotes of the agent. He has also issued warnings at other times, but the footballer is still here."[LNB][LNB]
