Kolo Toure suspended (MERGED)

[crystal_mais]

Fuck me do you reckon these diet pills work. I need to shift abit of timber by the end of this month.

Why are people getting pissed off with Wenger? Kolo calls him up in a time of strife to confide in a mentor. Wenger publicly defends Kolo. Bluemoon cries. Just because he's not connected to City doesn't make everything he does wrong. He's speaking up for the guy at a time when City are probably legally unable to do so.

Spot on mate, to have a well known and respected manager like Wenger who has been apart of the English game at one club for 15 years now back up one of his ex players and currently ours now during a difficult period is great, most Managers don't keep in contact with their ex players what Wenger has done is top class professionalism top bloke.

totally agree mate

I don't agree. I am not ranting and raving at Wenger, but I do think it was unwise of him to have said anything, however well intentioned it may have been.

MCFC will have had their lawyers all over this and based on all the evidence to hand, and the best legal advice, decided the best thing to do was to say NOTHING.

Wenger has just waded in with his size 11's. What if the club advised Kolo to deny everything (publicly) and to rely on the B sample being clear, or borderline.

Now Wenger has gone and blabbed about diet pills, effectively confessing guilt. It was stupid of him to comment. Unless of course his intention is actually to make sure Kolo doesn't get off?

Agree with this. While Wenger was probably well intentioned, the fact is it could compromise whatever angle City choose to pursue.

Why on earth would he take his wife's diet tablets?

Stood in front of the bathroom cabinet "erm what are these? weight loss pills" Looks in mirror "I could do with shifting a few pounds, why not try them"

Re: Kolo Toure suspended

Whatever you hear or read...

The club are standing fully behind him and he has full support of directors and players.

They know Kolo and have made it clear to all staff.

Too bad the same can't be said about some fans.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

city can't deny he's taken something.

Unless the club needs to protect itself by staying silent while Wenger does a former player of his a favor (not accusing Wenger of lying.) I've seen things like that happen before, and Wenger seems like he's a really loyal person. Also doesn't appear he and Mancini have quite as antagonistic a relationship as Hughes and Wenger have. (Not a dig at Hughes.)

 

[svennis pennis]

Obviously a very stupid mistake and he has my support. But he has access to one of the worlds greatest training facilities. If he needs to lose some weight surely he should be doing what he has done all his career and get on the fucking treadmill?

Oh and Kolo, get your missus a gastric band fitted. That way she will be happy and you might not be tempted to rummage through her pills.

If its diet pills he might get pretty serious ban you would think, if you take steroids you unnaturally want to put on muscle to gain an advantage, by taking diet pills you are unnaturally trying to lose weight which if your carrying a bit extra definately gives you an advantage, imagine they might take a grim view, obviously dont know the details yet though.

Lets all get behind one of our players for once
