"Last summer the agent also said Toure felt mistreated, before the Ivorian signed a four-year contract later that month."

What a surprise.

Now now, City have just been fined £50M. They need to start reigning in the costs and first on the list was stopping buying players birthday cards.

How about some salt and vinegar to go with that chip on his shoulder?

From the title I assumed that his birthday was completely ignored by the club, at which point I'd sort of get it. Regardless of how much you get paid, or what job you do, it's nice to feel appreciated on a human level.

Then I actually read the article and I'm now trying to decide whether Toure is actually aware how much of a tit his agent has made him look. It's not quite Ashley Cole 'swerving off the road' at his lowly offer of 30k a week but it's in that direction.

I thought that's what Africa players did ... you keep quiet about your birthday, and don't add one to your age.

That's how Kanu stayed so young. Scandals and bans involving Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Ivory Coast, poor Man City, just thought it was the done thing.

No-one has "remembered" #cough Joseph Minala birthday for about 20 years!
