Kolo Toure, our new striker?

[pamilih]

I have a feeling that AW is grooming KT to be a striker. His style is different from TH and Ali. More like Ronaldo (the real one). He has speed and power. His attempted hattrick was spectacular. He needs to work on accuracy.

:shock:

Just mark my word! :angel

Lol lewd.

Pam- you're taking the whole Kolo versatility thing out of serious proportion.

 

[Jinn]

Not a chance. :shock:

hes too good as a defender to be a striker :wink:

Mate if you saw the match yesterday i think you'd have a different view.

Wenger brought Kolo on up front for the last 15 mins instead of Kanu probably giving him a run out before he plays kolo up fron tomorrow night in the cc. However i dont think he will be a striker in the long run!

I heard the game last nite. Kolo was playing just in front of the midfield. He even tried an audacious shot but come on let's get a bit of perspective. You can't switch a defender to an attacker (Dion Dublin's an anamoly)

I was just waiting for him to score, would have made my day, has he tried his hand at goalkeeping yet?

Why not? Vieira was a defender initially, Henry was a winger. AW moves up players when he sees the potential.

It is the classical French approach: sous plongeur first before one can peel potatoes, then go on to become a trainee chef, etc.

Yesterday Kolo was brilliant. His run was good; it was a shame that he didn't score.
But he's a great defender.

By proper grooming you should be able too. Kolo has the athleticism on par with Henry...

Kolo in front...only if there are no other choice...we better get a true striking partner for henry..he needs that...and we cannot always rely on Henry ;D

Pires and Freddie were FWDs if im not mistaken :!:

Please, let's not get carried away here .... Wenger joked early in the week Kolo could play up front, the match was won, and we had no other options, so we brought him on ... he was mainly there to reinforce the midfield anyways...

 

[Archie The Leper]

Lewdikris, were top of the league, everythings rosy again, lets just have a laugh

 

[pamilih]

OK. Attacking midfielder then ...

 

[Mark]

well since this kid can do anything i wouldn't mind seeing him play upfront he'd probably be great , but i'd rather he stuck to one position at the back.

 

[Taozhe]

OK. Attacking midfielder then ...

Kolo did play the role of attacking midfielder a few times b4 and this time as a striker, its really funny when he wins the ball in the air for henry ... I could had sworn I wish we had a striker like kolo

overall Kolo's very good as a defender but I think his best position could yet be Central Defensive Midfield

I will always remember when he came on when vieira was sent off vs Chelsea and he single handedly controlled the midfield. superb covering and tackling. Good moving forward. MAN!

a super gem

 

[kanuuu]

didnt kolo play on the left wing at leeds last year?, he is class
