Kolo Toure [Merged]

[nickson71]

exactly

Corluka played 90minutes + extra time and scored in a penalty shoot out in a competitive match the day before he signed for Spurs

He played 90 minutes the day before he signed for spuds, but not extra time and penalties but i still get your point!

so he did.............. the extra time and penalties were 4 or 5 days before the move ;-)

Why do some people not want Kolo? He's a great player with a high level of fitness and intelligence.

a great addition to the squad,a bit more quality will bring the best out of richards and get him back to what he was

One sniff of Terry and the "I WANT, I WANT, I WANT" policy is adopted by many.

Or they think they are the masters of European foot-balling knowledge by spouting half-decent CBs, when they really have barely watched them.

Last time I read this topic is was 4 pages deep, are we any closer to signing him because there is fucking no chance me reading 80 odd pages.

 

[i8therags]

we arn;t playing till Saturday.If I was Hughes I may ask Arsenal to play him if a deal was being done,especially if he;s part way through a pre-season fitness program.

If Kolo comes here I will welcome him with open arms because he will add considerably to the squad. He'll probably slot in alongside Onouha in a decent back 4 of Richards---Onouha---Toure---Bridge, but we still need Lescott because he can cover for Bridge and we desperately need that next season because if Bridge gets injured I'd hate for Barry to have to go there because he's looked excellent in Midfield so far. Could be

Richards---Toure---Lescott---Bridge, or
Zabaleta---Onouha---Toure---Lescott, or
Onouha---Toure---Lescott---Bridge

Any of those back fours and several other combinations will be great.

Lets look at the facts :

- Arsenal are skint and over £350 million in debt.

- Toure and Gallas hate each other - complete break down in relationship so bad Toure but a transfer request in January. This has been well documented.

- Toure only has one year left on his contract. In 6 months he can sign a pre contract agreement and Arsenal with get nothing.

- We have offered our standard double your money deal - be hard for him to turn that down

- Hes best mates with Adabayor.

Theres probably more but you get the point. This is definately happening. This week probably.

He played very well in the friendly apparently !
