Yaya Toure has confirmed on Twitter the, at first barely believable, claims of his agent that he is considering leaving the Premier League champions for the unpardonable sin of forgetting his birthday.
In a series tweets in the past hour, Toure appeared to both endorse and un-endorse the claims of his agent. He began with a joke.
Thanks for all the birthday messages today. Card from City just arrived... Must have got lost in the post. Haha

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