The rumours are already doing the rounds. His form had dropped dramatically by the time city overpaid for him. So no, because he wouldn't come back as 5th choice so what's the point?
We have 6 CB's. 3 who are better than Toure.
No thanks.
When we have Koscielny almost single handedly keeping us clean sheets? Hell no.
A package deal...yes. Kolo and Yaya.
He'd be 3rd/4th choice at best and TBH his best days are behind him now.
No thanks.
Yaya is not utilise to his fullest talent IMO, he will do much better under Vineger. Citeh CM is so dull for such an expensive team. :coffee:Quote:

The reason why he wants to leave is because of the number of players ahead of him. Cant see why he would like it if Verm, Kos and Per are ahead of him. Would rather see Kyle Bartley come through.
No He's Shit and was before he left
He only went for the money, so I wonder why he's not happy with his money? Is the grass looking jaded? Let him live with it along with all of City's other mercenaries. Surely they knew the money comes first at City?Quote:

Song-Y.Toure against the big teams :cloud9:
If its as cover then I don't mind. He can play right back and he's better than Jo Djo and Jenkinson although that's really not saying much. As for CB, he'd probably be 3rd choice after the Mertemaelen partnership. As for Yaya, is he a first teamer for City anymore?
No, he went because a shat was preferred to him and he felt he was getting no respect, do you see a pattern developing? Still a quality player and IMO only one of our CBs is definately better than him. With that said, i'm not convinced he could do a Campbell, as psyches quite different, so probablly no. Yaya is a no brainer.Quote:

I particularly liked the part where he stayed and fought for his place. That was impressive. I hope he doesn't do a Campbell and I hope he doesn't come back. We have to get some luck soon with injuries, we've been cursed over the last few seasons. We have 3 CBs and Djourou, hopefully it will be enough. Kos deciding to save rather than cost us points has been a big bonus so far. Why do we need somebody who when the going got tough, went? The more players who go to City and end up rotting the better. It may act as a deterrent for those who think money is the be all and end all. Players like Toure and Nasri. Whatever happens to them they brought on themselves. Let them live with it. If they can't find anything to do on a Saturday they can always pop out and buy another Bentley (the car, not the greedy cunt who also thought he was something special). So don't feel too sorry for them.Quote:

No argument there, just replying to NQ who has the annoying habit of trivialising everything to money. Anyway anyone who has watched kolo knows He's one of those rare passion players who wear there hearts on their sleeves and are pretty easy to read. Funnilly, these are the characteristics that make me not want him back. Take campbell's 2nd coming, he was as cool and as professional as they come. On and off the bench he never seemed agitated or overwhelmed, just did his shift and left. Also the Iceman was always like that, in fact he cites that as the reason he can't become a manager. kolo would be passion personified in a 2nd coming, and in a team where he won't be 1St choice or one that has shown the ability of losing 8-2, players unable to handle their emotions could be another hinderance.Quote:

Kos was total shit last year and I said so. This year he's playing well. And I said so. Which bit do you think I should lie about to make you happier?Quote:

You're weird, you play up the guys who continue to fail to deliver to their potential - like Walcott and Chamakh - and slaughter the players who go beyond what we thought they were capable of. It sounds a bit like you're taking your frustrations at the general situation out on players who don't deserve it but at the same time giving wasters a free ride.Quote:

Yes hes done well recently and long may it continue

We've need a player like him for a while. Merts is the same, more steady than spectacular which is exactly what we need.Quote:

As for Jenkinson, he was shite pre season and even worse at the start of the season. He was even crap in midweek v Marseille. He might have played well v WBA but one game in a season doesnt make a player good
well no cos he hasnt been shit for a year and two months :rolleyes: he hasnt been great at times, but he has been be dam good at other times, that run from december till carling cup final he was a beastQuote:
