Kolo Toure suspended (MERGED)

[Gelsons Dad]

Can anyone tell me who the heck this Mr Gouriso is and what he's said?

Kolo Toure’s personal manager Valer Gourizro says the club are supporting the defender through this difficult period: “Kolo's reputation speaks for itself and we're positive about that - he's a clean player.

"He's got everybody around him - his family, friends, the club, everything. Everybody in the game loves him.

"He's lucky that he's got Yaya as well as Patrick Vieira, who he played with at Arsenal. It's good to have them around him at the moment.

"The coach, Roberto Mancini, likes him and I spoke to Brian Marwood at City last night.

"He said that the club will stand by Kolo and they know that he gives 100 per cent and does a lot of work for the club.”

He along with Wenger broke the diet pill news which leaves no defence. So the club now distance themselves from those comments in the hope of defending the case on other grounds i.e. contaminated sample. If nobody mentions diet pills there would be a chance but with everyone mouthing off it will be difficult now.

Yaya Toure said: "My brother is damaged. And the squad is affected because Kolo is an important man for us and one of our captains. So we want a quick solution to this problem.

"We all have confidence in Kolo. I am at Manchester City due to the insistence of my brother. For me it will be very hard to play without him in the team."

Oh, here we go...

He's basically saying he only plays for us to play with his brother. I mean, he managed OK without his brother at Barca and his previous teams didn't he?

This is so not a justified comment. Yaya has every reason to be emotional now. It's his brother. He is not threatening the club and what's the point threatening the club?

The club's silence means Kolo was wrong, that's so simple, I can understand why Kolo and Yaya so upset that there's no public support come out from their current employer at all, there's nothing even the neutral statement like we'll support Kolo but will accept/respect the investigation result or outcome as well (the club doesn't need to go into the detail about what Kolo took, but why don't they just show a little bit sympathy like short statement to support their own player to let everyone knows that Kolo is not alone in this case?). Like Yaya said, this's affecting player's feeling a lot (i.e. what if this happen to them too? who's gonna help clearing their bad names in the public domain?), hope the upsetting doesn't show on their performance today.

See Yaya's quote above, and it's just a simple logic if you're in their shoes.

More like speculation on your part.

So you think they're currently happy?

Obviously they'll be upset but not because the club isn't doing what Wenger did since that's not the wisest thing to do at this point.

As I said earlier, the club don't need to come out and go on every detail about what Kolo took, but why don't they just show a little bit sympathy, that's my point.

How do you know what support they are offering behind the scenes ? You don't, you're just speculating and there's enough of that already.
