After finishing his World Cup debut, Ivory Coast's Yaya Toure, the brother of Arsenal's Kolo Toure, is disappointed with how the Olympiacos management is treating him, as he has not been paid and can not come back to Greece, as his visa has run out.

In an interview with Greek sports daily "Sportime", Toure said that he is considering his options and will speak to his agent about a possible move back to Metalurh Donetsk in Ukraine, who still have 50% of the player's rights.

The player criticised the Olympiacos management for spending millions on new transfers while leaving him unpaid for months. Toure said that he is currently considering his options and might even appeal to FIFA to win his release.

The Ivory Coast international was part of a team which impressed the world at its debut World Cup appearance, but they were unlucky to be seeded in the same group as Argentina and Holland. Many believe that if the Elephants were in a different group, they would have progressed to the knockout stages.
