Kolo Toure joins City's coaching staff on a full time basis

[jimharri]

No more fat fuckers well built chaps in the squad then!

 

[manimanc]

Unbelievaboo.

 

[mrbelfry]

Feels like this is a response to the stress and anxiety the squad were probably feeling last season. Get some enthusiasm and laughter into the sessions inbetween Pep's demands.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

As long as we dont go down our neighbours route with a ' job for the boys ' scenario.

I'd like to contribute if I knew anything at all about his coaching. As I know absolutely nothing about it, and have zero experience of his interaction with the players, I shall leave this decision with the DOF, who seems to be quite enamoured with Kolo's qualities.

I know he spent time at Leicester and Celtic, working with Brendan Rogers if I remember correctly. He’s obviously made a good impression at City on the past few months. I hope it all works out for him and us.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Should piss the scousers off if nothing else

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

He seemed to get involved during the CWC a lot, talking to the players during the breaks. If he's full of enthusiasm that'll be completely opposite to what we've had recently and I think it's what the players need.

 

[Burtonblue]

Rather him than Yaya..,

 

[Starr Gate Blue]

I can't forget that image of him in the aftermath of the Sergio Aguero winner. The stadium was shaking on its foundations and everybody associated with City, bar one, was going nuts. That exception was Kolo Toure. He didn't show a flicker of emotion and had a face like a wet Sunday. First team coach! I wouldn't hire him to sell programmes.

They were supposedly his wife's pills.
I always found that excuse a little suspicious as I have yet to have known a footballer with a fat wife.

Robinho, though fat is a subjective opinion

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Well that’s our defence strengthened…

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Hopefully he is more of a success than he was as manager at Wigan!
He even out Rooney’d Wayne Rooney in that job!

 

[bladdered]

 

[bluealf]

Are they still going btw?

:)

 

[journolud]

I like him, brings an infectious mix of intensity, light heartedness and encouragement. Pep is obviously happy with what he's seen to think hes worth promoting from the kids job so good enough for me.

Sounds a bit like Micah Richards only maybe not such an idiot

 

[JGL07]

Just keep the players away from his diet pills.

His are ok it’s his wife’s that are the problem!

Aye but if you watch the video closely kolo goes to give Mancini a high five only for manchini to totally blank him and celebrate with platt and someone else.
It's on YouTube somewhere.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

hope he can contain his enthusiasm unlike in 2012 ;)

I know! Talk about not arsed…

 

[Master-Lotus]

Love it!
