Kolo Toure wants to be like Ryan Gigs

I think had Kolo Toure stayed at Arsenal, he could have been like Ryan Giggs. But the moment he moved away he was off for both money and titles. Of course, now he has won the title, but now he will see the other side of the story. As Man City wants to win more titles and Toure is a costly buy, they would prefer to get younger faster defenders as and when they are available and offload Toure at the close of his current contract. The story would have been different at Arsenal, but that's how things go. Cheers! Ram

Kolo Toure moved to Manchester City because of money and the chance to win honors. He succeeded. He earned big money and he won the EPL and FA cup, the two biggest prizes in England. His brother Yaya moved to Manchester City also because of money. I don't think he loved Manchester City so much so that he would leave Barcelona to join Manchester City if Manchester City did not offer him a weekly salary of £200,000. Yaya Toure would have joined Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea, but never Manchester City if not for Mancini AND the money. And in return, he gave the EPL crown to Manchester City. Kolo Toure is competing with other players for a place in the team. It is natural in a top team with a big squad. He is not a bad player or else Arsene Wenger would not have played him 225 times in an Arsenal shirt.
