Kolo Toure [Merged]

[Prophet of Doom]

Toure`s a great signing and will be a huge asset to our squad.If we do get lescott aswell then we`ll be laughing,I still think Dunney has to stay though .

Definately, even if he's on the bench every week or even in the reserves some weeks - look at Portsmouths Linvoy Primus, he was their best defender when they first came up to the Prem and they bought in better quality and he could have gone to play for another club maybe in the Championship but he stayed! and did you see the reception he got from the Pompey fans when he came on as a sub in the last game of the season? i bet Dunney would love that kind of reception, and he can fill in for any injuries/suspensions/African Cup of Nations or play in the Cup games and still enjoy his football and be club captain!

As for Toure, he's got a big season ahead of him! his form over the last 2 years has been mixed for Arsenal! been in and out of the team playing in runs of games (dont forget Arsenal play at least 50 games a season every season and i think Toure has only played in 3/4's of them!) But he's a City player now, he's not at Arsenal and its a fresh start! all old form goes out of the window as everythings different - i hope he does well and gets his form back from his early Arsenal career!

What a load of old bollocks. In and out of the team my arse ????

He has played 225 league games and 65 champions league games in the past 7 seasons. That figure is as good as any other central defender in the country. Do a quick search on the likes of Terry etc if you dont believe me.

People are deluded comparing Dunne Kompany and Neddy to Toure. 65 champions league games FFS !!!

Calm and confident on the ball, pretty good distribution, and great attitude. An asset all-round. But think he needs to be twinned with a "stopper". So him and Ned or Lescott would work, but probably him and Vinnie wouldn't.

Toure will be a much better player for us than Terry could ever have been.

I never wanted Terry (see my posts on the thread). Could see what he was up to.

Plus he is a shite.

Good footballer but a complete shite.

Toure is more my cup of tea.

Doesn't seem to be many Arsenal fans bothered about him going.

Just been reading their forums, they all wish him well and say he was a great guy but aren't bothered too much about losing him as a defender. Hmmmmmmm

I hope you realise that what I said via texts about Toon is correct.

if Dunne were to leave a lot of people wouldn't be bothered but I know he could and probably would perform at his new club.
