Dmitri Seluk said the Ivory Coast international would have finished higher than third place in the PFA and FWA Footballer of the Year awards, and higher than 12th in the Ballon d'Or voting, if he was white.
Toure was beaten to both English awards by Luis Suarez, while Eden Hazard and Steven Gerrard came second in the PFA and FWA voting respectively.
Seluk told The Times: "If he was white, 100 percent he would have won one of those top awards.

I'd watch a reality TV show featuring Yaya and his agent

He's had quite an offseason.

Having a hard time interpreting the motivations for all these comments. The birthday "disrespect" comments were just strange, even if his agent was angling for a move or more money.

To be fair, this is pretty bad. Without the ridiculous year from Suarez, Toure should have been in line to get those awards.

Best defense for that....
For real though... YaYa and his agent just need to stop. Hes a great player and everyone respects him. Just stop with the antics.

Actually YAYA does have a case for player of the year. His goal total was insane for a midfielder and he was easy the most consistent player through out the season. Suarez cooled off while YAYA was pretty stream lined the whole time.

He should have come in 2nd behind Suarez. And he's better than the 12th best player in the world. But claiming race is so lame.
