Kolo Toure leaving?

I'm worried how this will affect Yaya, one of the reasons he came was because Kolo was here and with him leaving it could make him consider elsewhere, maybe not this season but sooner rather than later.

Hes not 12 ffs.
 
Footballers improve with regular games.
Look how Lescott improved as the season went on, and how hard Dzeko found it, being rested so frequently.
It's hard to step up to the plate when you're not playing regularly. IMO Kolo is underrated.
 
He is a better player technically than Lescott IMO, has greater speed. Only area Lescott beats him is in the air. If he hadn't been stupid over the slimming pills we could have been talking about Lescott going. Fair play to Lescott though he really did play out of his skin and rightly earned that centre back pairing with Kompany. Also showed last year he is good as a right back. IMO there are other players to get rid of before we get to the likes of Kolo. :-)

Just made me remember the Bolton game. He was amazing that game, he kept up with that Miyachi who is supposedly quicker than Walcott and he got forward really well. Can remember his bit of show-boating in the corner spot too!
 
No room for sentiment nowadays! Has been an average signing but goes with a thanks from me for helping to get yaya!

I'm sure there will be plenty of sentiment (and not just thanks for the memories) when one of the fan favorites is replaced by a better player.

As for Kolo, if he leaves I hope he has great success. He's done a better job than people give credit.
