Kolo Toure [Merged]

Re: Toure agrees City move [Merged]

would be v happy with Kolo, Upson & Lescott.

Same here, big improvement on what we have at the moment. That would give us a back 4 of Richards--Toure--Lescott--Bridge with Zabs, Nedum, Upsons and Kompany as cover. Lescott can cover left back as well if needed thats a top 4 defensive line up for sure at least as good as Arsenal and Liverpools defensive pool IMO.

I would play Zab - Upson - Lescott - Bridge with Toure, Richards, Ned, Kompany as cover. But we need a new right back because Zab isn't top 4 material.

Re: Toure agrees City move [Merged]

Not sure I agree with you rthere pdc. Firstly i'd start Richards because he will become a top class defender in time. And Zabaleta is very useful to have around as he can cover a number of positions. Look at United with O'Shea, Chelsea with Beletti etc. All of the top 4 have players who wouldn't be first team starters but get plenty of game time because they can come in and do a solid job. I put Zabaleta in that bracket.

I find it stange how people would rather Upson than Kompany in the starting line up. Kompany is a fantastic defender and would be my captain next season with someone like Lescott or Toure alongside him in the middle. If we only sign one Centre Back, Onouha can fill in until Kompany is fit with Ireland as captain. Imo.

Not very good with the ball at his feet IMO and playing at the back, I think that would lead to a few fuck-ups.

Toure and Lescott are both decent though, So it would be a no nonsence defender along side a composed one. The perfect partnership in my eyes. Kompany wins every header and blocks ever ball that comes across into the box when he is around, he is quality.

Unfortunately for all his qualities he has the first touch of David White in wellies - given the positions he plays in that is a problem.

Well Kompany is injured for the first month or so of the season for starters. No conviced its his best position either although he can do a decent job in there. Upson is experienced english and can slot right in and do a job straight away. Squad player can fight it out with the other players including Kompany - when he is fit.

Re: Toure agrees City move [Merged]

To be fair mate, Srna is my corner taker and i get him to aim for the keeper. Lescott is my strongest headererer so i get him to challenge the keeper.

Srna is top assister in the league while Lescott gets me 15 goals a season.

So there.

fair enough mate, can you get robinho to play well though?

Yeah play him left win and set focus passing to 'down left flank' and sit back and watch him skin the right back and cross for Roque to head home. Sweet as.

Re: Toure agrees City move [Merged]

upson is a good player and better than we have but imo behind toure and lescott, and for me it would be lescott or upson, not both seeing as there both left footed, and play a similar role for there respective clubs!

back 4 of . . . . .zab toure lescott bridge
that back 4 ticks virtually ever box! with micah ned and kompany we have 7 players who will all keep each other on there toes!
lets get them in quick that way they can play in our remaining friendlies
