Crazy Dog Toure

[Taozhe]

Find this entertaining to read

good stuff about Toure and apparently he has a brother named Ibrahim Toure who is an 18 yr old striker at the academy

Its a pity we have all those work permit problems

very good article that was and i hear that wegner wants all three toures could u imagine that

 

[Soler]

"Toure, passes back to Toure ... now Toure with a long pass to find an unmarked ... TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUREEEEE!!!"

as he said 'It was a bit disappointing,' Touré reflects. 'I was playing with Sol and it was great. When Lauren was injured, I tried to play for the team and everything went well, but now Lauren is back and Pascal Cygan is playing well [alongside Campbell], so that puts me in a bad position. But I have to work hard to get my place back.'


so which back-four should start for us now?

 

[arsena1]

I'm not surprised that the article quotes wenger's temptation to use kolo as a centre forward.

kolo's unbridled enthusiasm, power and driving runs does seem quite suited to the role of a centre forward.

against aston villa, I certainly liked what I saw.
it's very tempting.

so tempting that I can envision 3 toures playing centre back, right back and centre forward.

if only we have a cloning machine.

but it is important to note that sometimes, a player underperforms if he is being played at a position he does not feel that he is suited for.

 

[Andrew]

We need Kolo in defence, Yaya in midfield and Ibrahim (is it?) up front. That would be perfect. 8)

 

[johe]

Well, I feel he should play at the position he prefers himself, because he's good enough to play anywhere on the pitch.

I believe he will be one of the worlds top players when he reaches his peak, because he works so hard to improve all the time.

 

[The Mini]

If all goes well we'll have too many Toure's by the end of the French Dynasty

 

[Adam]

It's interesting that he rates the players he partnered in the Asec team more than himself - typical Kolo humility. There are some good ones though.

Yaya and Ibrahim to get a shot at Arsenal?

I wouldn't bet against it.

Talk about humility! As if he needs to get his place back - it's more a case of choosing who to make way for him!

 

[Adam]

Bow down to Toure. Cygan is back on the bench.

 

[patrick42uk]

liliam thuram retires in 2006...

by then we should have the new world best cb/rb on in our team.

 

[mood]

I think Toure does a better job as a RB. What do you guys think?

 

[JazzG]

I agree. Some gooner I was chatting who has been a fan for a long time (he has beeen going to the matches for 19 years) thinks he is a better CB and won't agree with me :?

 

[Adam]

The argument is his RB offensive qualities he brings to the team vs his pace and strength needed in the centre.

His distribution from the centre is excellent too, and comparable with Cygan's.

While he could be one of the best CB's - he could be the best RB.

You cant really complain.

So true. Kolo is a true hero.

 

[Natnat]

I never make a manager, :wink: but for what it is worth I think he is so talented he can play any position on the field
