We have Boateng and Boyata..both are young and getting better and i would choose them both over Kolo at the moment and in the future.
I dont rate Lescott either for the long-term. But he has done ok while Kolo has been suspended. Not to mention that we might sign another centre-back in the summer.
With that in mind,should he eventually be found guilty,would the club be within their right to rip up his contract?
They would indeed.
I'm surprised clubs don't use this option far more. I suppose it's a cultural thing, and might give the club a bad name amongst players... but legally Toure cannot fulfill his part of the contract so the club could be entitled to scrap it.
