Kolo Toure

[greasedupdeafguy]

Be interesting in January if he is in the last year of his contract could either get rid of him for 1 or 2 million plus money saved from wages, give him a one year contract extension or just let him go for nowt in the summer. If we can find a buyer I would go with first option, Lescott, Kompany, Nastasic, Richards and Rekik breaking through is easily good enough squad depth at centre back. I have been very impressed with his performances recently though.

He was wank at Anfield. Looked like a fat arsed, headless chicken.

I'd be willing to bet my life is is a lot slimmer than you..

Pathetic comment from a City fan..get behind the players you fool.

Not as pathetic as you comparing the weight of an ordinary person to that of an "elite" professional athlete, you dick. Where is the relevance in the comparison? So if a City player plays badly for example, are no supporters allowed to criticise unless they personally could do better? I know you won't believe me but I actually don't mind Kolo Toure, I just thought he looked overweight (for a top flight footballer!) and was very poor at Anfield and it was in response to him supposedly "not putting a foot wrong this season." But I forgot, being a proper City fan means never saying anything negative doesn't it. I stand by my comment, he was wank at Anfield, his arse definitely did look fat (for a Premier league footballer, I assume I need to put this every time now for the stupid to be able to understand) and he did run around like a headless chicken.

Why were you looking at his arse?

I think Kolo Toure as been quite a good player for City a lot better than Adebayor

It's a fair cop, although to be fair you could hardly fucking miss it.

I am trying to work out how having a large bottom stops you being a decent footballer.

Is there anyone with knowledge of physiology who can explain it please

I don't think anyone has said that having a large bottom would automatically stop you from being a good footballer but I think generally it isn't going to increase a player's mobility. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a professional athlete who is getting paid hansomely to be able to keep his weight at an appropriate level. I have had a bit of grief over my comments but I honestly think he was overweight for a prem footballer in that Liverpool away match and I don't think that is acceptable. If a player happens to be in poor form then that happens from time to time and is understandable but I don't think any Premier League footballer should have weight issues because that is something that is very much within their own control.

Don't fret Lancet, I'm with you wholeheartedly.

One decent game and suddenly Kolo's world class again.....

Given the amount of weight clubs no give to sports science, nutrition etc etc how can you assume just by looking at somebody they are overweight. Us humans have different body shapes and he may will be at his optimum according to the experts. I also think with the constant monitoring the experts do, a player who was overwieght would be nowhere near the team.

It does amuse me how much people say players look overwieght, lazy, tired blah blah without any chance of knowing the actual facts. It is all assumption and usually i find assumption to be biased towards a persons personal perception of a player.

Kolo was in his time a world class centre half, his powers have diminshed as all players do with age, but he still commands i feel the respect of his teamates and without our leader and inspiration Vinny on saturday Kolo did a great job with a kid besides him. He should be recognised as having played very well and we should appreciate the fact we have somebody as capable to step in when needed.

So you don't think it's pertinent that Kolo got a drugs ban for taking slimming pills?

I fail to see how that is relevant now. He served his ban and im sure our sports scientists have worked out a plan for him as an individual. Perhaps his perfomance on saturdays shows the value in having them.
