Kolo - Manchester City must regret selling me

[BlueTG]

Klumsy Kolo, shit myself when he was on the ball.

His quote about Yaya being better than Busquets at Barca is miles off.

Kolo was never a 1st team regular at any point after Hughes left so it made no sense to hold onto him for the money we would've had to pay him. Demichelis is a superior player so it was a good bit of business from us, he's just been a bit unlucky with injuries in his first few months.

Had he have taken a cut in wages which he must have done for Liverpool to sign him I think he could have done a really good job here. A very decent centre half who can perform at right back , just what we have needed with our injuries.

Exactly this. We were just bit to hasty to get him and his wages off the books.

He's got a bit of a high opinion about himself. Never really rated him that highly, suppose he was decent stop-gap signing but can't imagine him making a dramatic difference to our current defensive situation at the moment.

 

[york away to this!]

the only thing I miss is his half of the YaYa, Kolo song...

Don't flatter yourself kolo. Has he really been that great at liverpool? Would he really have been the man to help solve our defensive problems? I doubt it. I'd rather him there than javi garcia but we've been very unlucky with injuries and you can't justify paying a play of kolo's standard (these days) 120k a week on the off chance that you get a lot of injuries in the same position and the players struggle to adapt to the managers new methods for a period of time (a problem that kolo most likely wouldn't have solved). Find the big boss quote funny though

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure believes Manchester City must regret sanctioning his departure from the club.

The Ivorian moved to Anfield in the summer having struggled to gain first-team action in his final season at the Etihad Stadium.

Toure has already made eight league starts this season as his new club have climbed to second in the table, and the defender feels he has proven a point to City.

"Before I left the club, I told the people in charge that they would regret letting me go. People said I was finished and that I could never get back to my former level.

"But now I am at Liverpool - and I am sure that City must be kicking themselves when they see how I am performing."

Toure sees similarities between his own situation and the one brother Yaya faced when leaving Barcelona to join City in 2010.

"I have had a similar experience to Yaya," he added. "Managers come to clubs bringing players with them and they want to pick them at all costs - whether they are any good or not.

"Yaya was much better than Sergio Busquets at Barcelona. But he was behind him in the pecking order and he found that hard to accept.

"I advised him to come to Manchester City while I was still there. He listened to his big brother's advice - and now he is the big boss on the field for them."

He's got a point, but Busquets is miles ahead of Yaya for the role he plays at Barca. Still, at the point of getting rid of Kolo we were probably still hopeful of getting in Pepe, so it's no surprise we tried.

Demi suits this squad and manager better than Kolo IMO.
Only with hindsight can we say we should have kept him to prevent the need to use Garcia at CB.
What were the odds of VK and MD being crocked at the same time?

Footballers and managers should desist from talking about what other clubs should or shouldn't do. It just makes them look silly.

After comments like that youd think he'd just won the league! They're 2 points ahead of us and have conceeded more than our bodged collection of defenders. Hard to say its keeping us up at night

Lets review his comments after Aguero and Negredo have paid him a visit!
