Has anyone else noticed that the MCFC.co.uk says Kolo's place of birth is 'Ivory Close'?

Yeah, Ivory Close, Longsight. Local lad isn't he??
 
I'm pleased witht this signing. I think of all the other potential partners he might get at the back, the oustanding candidate for the long term job here, imo, is.. Richard Dunne. No disrespect to our young lads here, but watch the big fella go without having to worry about the relative inexperience of Mica or Nedum.
 
Fuckin great attitude. He said all the right things, he only came for footballing reasons (obviously he'll be paid well)

He has a great attitude and that will rub off on the youngsters, Hughes said in the the interview he was already helping Ned and Micah out in training.

Can't believe he went training at 19.15pm because he hadn't trained the day before and didn't want to go rusty. That's top class and we will need people like him.

That's why i don't get the Adebayor signing. All Hughes' signings have been top class pro's who will put 150% in every match and fight for the team, but Adebayor doesn't fit into this category by all accounts, it's a strange one he definitely doesn't come across as a "Hughes signing"
 
Only just saw the interview. Very impressed with his attitude. Sounds like a genuinely top guy.

Put a slacker in with a group of hard workers and he'll soon notice its only his head thats "always above the parapit". They soon put thier head down and realise how good it feel to reap thier rewards.

Plus he's got RSC behind him... if the guy has the ego Arsenal fans reckon he does then he'll be pretty pissed if he can't even get in the 1st XI and the penny might just drop that he needs to work a bit harder.

That being said he was very energetic in his first game and tracked back too... no lack of effort in his play from what we've seen so far. Perhaps this was what he needed - a fresh start with a fresh set of fans.
 
Really got a good feeling about Kolo, class defender who is coming into his prime really think he could be an awsome signing fingers crossed he shows the class we know he has.

p.s. Training at 7.15 a true professional, just what we need.
 
the guy is quality, was my fave def in prem couple of yrs back, once Hughes gets him back on form we have a top defender, one of the lges best imo.

There is no debate, Toure will fail. I'll be here to laugh in your faces whilst Toure sits on the bench and Kompany/Lescott keep the clean sheets...

I am so, so good ffs. 2 years later and people are finally coming to their senses. Please listen to me in future. Theo555, where are you?

So your saying you got banned, and you came back to gloat? (assuming that's why you changed names (again))

He only got benched by a failed drug test, so not sure how you got that right.

When healthy he was first choice over Lescott, up until that test result.
 
kolo is twice the player lescott is,
lescott is a hoof merchant who shits himself nearly every time hes under pressure, no composure what-so-ever
even in our awesome run at the end of the season, his panic caused us to concede most of our goals (west ham, everton) and if berbatov wasnt so terrible we would have been 1-0 down in the semi final after 10 minutes because he has zero composure

Kolo to the starting lineup asap

You mean WAS.

Kolo is a finished product and i hope i dont see him play often next season. At that age and with such a long break from football and training.....he will continue to misshit even more clearences in the box.....lol.
 
Last time I looked we had the most clean sheets in the premiership and between them Toure and Lescott played in virtually all of them. Both are pretty good defenders. Yes Kompany is a cut above at the moment but even he makes the odd mistake.(He was not blameless in the Everton goals.) The central defender who does not make a mistake is mythical.
Since selling Toure Arsenal have been buying central defenders but conceding more goals, I would hardly call him a failed signing, not outstanding but not terrible either.

I sometimes shake my head in disbelief at what some folks here think of as great or bad players. As in the case of Lescott & Toure, the truth is usually somewhere in between.
Both are pretty average Prem footballers - no more, no less. Niether are good enough for top four and certainly not Champ League. That doesnt mean they can't be number three and four in the CB choice, as we have a lot of average domestic games to play.
But one thing is certain, City do need to buy a World Class CB to partner the only one we have - Kompany.
