Re: toure agrees city move (merged)
We shouldn't look at centre halves from the Italian league. That includes Chiellini, Zapata or even Santacroce. The game is very different from what it would be like in the Premiership.

Nothing gets past him. He is most certainly a rich man's Lescott with even more attributes. Chiellini on the other hand is the complete CB, the future captain of the Azzurri and now is the time to buy him, before Juve become a world force again. Sign Alves and Chiellini and we will win the league, fact.

Gallas and Vermaelen are both miles better, whilst Senderos, possibly Djourou and even Alex Song are better than Toure. I'd seriously rather we signed Alex Song than Toure.

Re: toure agrees city move (merged)
I thought the Conderations Cup had destroyed the Chiellini myth for good.
Toure has been a fixture in one of the best teams in the Premiership for many years. I can't understand why Arsenal are willing to let him go. However there has been talk of him being unsettled for some time, and rumours that he does not get along with Gallas.
A good move on two counts:
1) Quality defender with Premiership experience who can play right back, and central defence
2) Weakens Arsenal who look like one of the weaker teams in the top 4
Must stop talking like it's a done deal as his brother Yaya Toure said recently that he wouldn't join us

I'd love Lescott and Alves. It would be like the Terry-Carvalho connection.

Re: toure agrees city move (merged)
oh i see, so he's only 4th/5th best in his own position and can still play 26 league games some out of position?
How can he fail to improve a squad that finished 9th and let so many goals in?
moomba said:bluemoon1078 said:What for 38 games, don't talk shite!
Only 26 starts in the league though, a lot of them at left back from memory.

Re: toure agrees city move (merged)
Zapata is a pile of wank, Serie A's equivalent of Micah Richards at CB. Chiellini is the 5th best CB in the world, I don't care what league you play in when you're that good. Santacroce is overhyped, a top talent and real good player for the future, but too young and raw right now to be any kind of success. Bocchetti is where it's at right now, gonna be a world class CB soon enough. Linked with West Ham at some point which worries me, as we'll probably end up paying West Ham 30m for him in 2 years time.
