Toure is our 4th or 5th best CB, you're right, but if he stays Wenger is too soft to have him below 3rd.

Not even that good anyway. He's past his best. I think the only reason we would be signing him is because Hughes can see potential in him and getting him back to the form of 2 years ago. We need players for now, not for 2 seasons time.
He is 2 seasons behind his best, i'd look elsewhere if i was Hughes.


why is it we need players NOW. there is at least a five year, if not a ten year plan in place. the only reason we Need players now is to break the top 4 like people think we will do. no need for the added pressure. the aim was top 10 last season, top 6 this year then push for a champions leauge place.

are you tellin me that you would be dissapointed with fith spot. and if so, your as bad as the "new fans" we will end up with.

im only 23 but i have been waiting for a season like next season for about 19 years. but lets not build ourselves up for a fall. solid top 6 next season and i would be delighted. if we break top 4 then MH and the squad need a bloody good pat on the back.

toure would be a great signin. yes i agree there is better about but he is better that TBH and dunnie. hes got premiership experience and plays at the top level season after season. he will definatly take us to the next level. (just to point out to the not-so-clever-few. this is not chapmions). lets enjoy the rest of the transfer window and next season without getting ahead of ourselves and being dissapointed at the fact we didn't live up to the over-hyped expectations
No, i have been fair on all my comments but from Terry to a Arsenal has been is below the belt. If we want to challenge with the big boys in the next 4 or 5 years, we need to buy players to slot in straight away and not Toure who we will have to work on. He isn't much a step up, i rate Dunne higher than i do Toure. Dunne on form is fantastic, and he will recapture that this season. Toure is past his best and isn't better than Dunne right now. I'd much rather have Dunne, and keep dunne who is clearly a city legend over a has been who would not improve us and cannot get into our competitor's first 11. Go on and tell me i'm a ''soo called new arrogant fan''. Fuck off.

do i have to list the reasons?! Already knows what to expect, has battled before away to Wigan on a gail force November evening, knows which players are cheating b'stards and how to play them, already played with new colleagues at int. level, up to the frenetic pace of the Prem. etc etc... need anymore?

So you would have said no to Toure half a dozen years ago? Carvalho? Vidic?

Why limit our options just so we can stay in our comfort zone.

Kompany played Center Back for Hamburg. De Jong was their DMF.

Yep. You just can't teach some people though, they'll keep guessing like this, and then the majority will follow. Then when somebody in the know tries correcting them they don't like it because it's become a minority opinion now, and then the vicious cycle continues.

No offence but that's a random Arsenal forum member you're quoting. I'd trust Arsene Wenger and Mark Hughes' opinion of a player over him/her/it.

Injuries, lack of cover, congested fixture list. Stats don't always tell the full story.

I've also read posts on Arsenal-Mania and Skysports Forums in the manner of Toure should be captain and when your losing and have a bunch of youngsters on the pitch, its great to know you have someone like Toure trying 110% pushing everyone on forward"

sounds like a player i'd want.

arrogant tit. research, links, quotes and statistics plz, not self aggrandising rhetoric.

p.s. quotes from random people on the internet count for less than zero.
 
Re: toure agrees city move (merged)

There are plenty of centre halfs i'd take before toure, i just hope Hughes sees that too. Toure is not a step up, it's a sideways step if anything. Also, that would be more money for our rivals.

Re: toure agrees city move (merged)

Why aren't we trying Bruno Alves. He's about same age as Toure and he's a the top of his game.

I like people who have opinions that differ from the norm, and are willing to fight their corner. You have to be careful not to come across as a bit of a smart arse though. It's a fine line to tread.
 
Re: toure agrees city move (merged)

Toure is a great player, all those who bash him please stop doing so.

Toure had one bad season last year,but he gave a match saving performance against the rags in the champions league first leg.

Please people do your best to make him feel welcome at the club,we all support whoever wears our shirt.
