Kolo Toure [Merged]

[Theo555]

Thank you!
And how can Ant guarantee that vermaeleen and gallas will be first choice? You are just guessing that!!

Because I actually have a footballing knowledge you imbecile. They are the two best CB's at Arsenal and Wenger wants them both to play together, it's that simple. I know a lot of Arsenal fans on other forums, 80 percent of them are delighted to be getting 16m for Toure, happy to see the back of him, and know that he won't be missed. I'm sorry but I know a lot more about Toure than most of you, you all seem to be guessing and trying to use logic, when football just doesn't work like that.

I have highlighted where you have failed

And vermaeleen doesn't solve arsenal's defensive problems, he is about the same height of toure which means they still need a tall CH.

Vermaelen is 6'1'', you're just listening to the common word again. And Arsenal's defensive problem isn't height, it's not having 2 good CB's.

So basically by your own admission all football arguments are useless because there is no logic in football, so your arguments are as pointless as everyone elses?

They didn't say it was off, they said it has hit a stumbling block due to a severance package.

If that's true, it's not looking good. Let's move on to Mexes and Upson immediately.

Now that would be a speedy pairing.........................

Guardian just posted this:

Arsenal defender Kolo Touré was undergoing medical tests this afternoon ahead of completing a £14m move to Manchester City. The deal is expected to be confirmed at a press conference tomorrow morning.

Where's that ITK who claims his dad puts out the chairs for the prezzers?!!! He'll know for sure . . .

You'd be better moving to boundary park thanks pal, your opinion is of a lot less value to me than that of a fellow blue. Just the way it is unfortunately, no offence.

And Toure is 6 foot so about the same height as Vermaeleen which is exactly what he said

I live in London and nearly every Arsenal fan I meet are seriously gutted and the forums are going mad about the sale!

There would only be one thing I'd hate to see more than Toure starting at CB on August 15th, and that's Upson starting instead. Toure isn't THAT bad.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

sorry im not itk with all the severence pay stuff, is this snag likely to be ironed out fairly promptly or can it get tricky and take up days even weeks? thanks for any help and sorry for my lack of knowledge
