Midfielder unhappy with lack of winning mentality
Yaya Toure's agent claims the midfielder is unimpressed by some of his Manchester City team-mates' lack of ambition.
City boss Roberto Mancini has seen his position come under scrutiny amid reports of dressing room unrest at Eastlands.
City defender Kolo Toure has rejected suggestions of a rift at the club with Mancini also moving to dispel the rumours.
However, there have been more rumours of discontent emerging between players with Yaya Toure reportedly having a row with James Milner in the tunnel during the recent 3-0 defeat by Arsenal.
Toure's agent, Dimitri Seluk says his client is angry at what he believes is a lack of winning mentality at City.
"Yaya got angry last week. He gets angry if he thinks people around him don't feel the same about winning," Seluk is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail.
"Arsene Wenger likes Yaya very much and wanted Yaya to sign in the summer so the game against Arsenal was a very emotional day.
Winning mentality
"He has such a winning mentality that he will fight with anyone, player, fan or staff who does not share this.
"When he gets angry with someone it does not mean he dislikes them or wants to disrespect them but it's just his unwillingness to accept anything other than a total winning attitude.
"The most difficult thing for a club which is trying to become a big club, not a middle club, is to learn the winning mentality because it takes time and there are some players who think that fourth place is already a big position."
