So Kolo Toure has handed in a transfer request because as reported "Kolo can not stand William and William can not stand him"
I was one of the few that defended Ashley Cole originally, in the end though it worked out well and Clichy is a younger almost equal LB. But losing him brought us Gallas, a player we wouldn't have gone after otherwise. But Gallas seems to be a cancer, he was stripped of his captaincy and now he's into it with Kolo. (Toure is 27 Gallas is 31)
Kolo never complains, is a soft spoken hard playing team player who was an Iffy spuad player in 2002 and by the 2006 champions league run was the rock at the back of our defense.
Chemistry has not, until Gallas came, been one of our problems. You always go the feeling that Thierry, Bobby, Freddy, Paddy, Ralph and Sol were close. I see more whining now from fringe players and it appears that it is a major problem, we are losing players we had in the squad over fixable issue. If L.Diarra is the player Madrid think he is, that we should have played him if we knew Flamini was out of contract last season. Oh well Dead horse.
We pick up Yaya and Arteta in the window and suddenly the chemistry is better, we have a natural leader in Arteta who will blend well with Yaya in the middle and shore up the back at the same time.
So again, is Gallas the French T.O., as a Cowboy fan, I say yes........
Good to get my first thread of the new year out of the way.
Hopefully after January, we can put out.
Sagna-DJ-Kolo-Clichy
..........Yaya.........
Theo-Cesc-Arteta
.......Ade.......RVP
We have enough overlap and interchange to play with enough width, but have a bit more spine and skill around the penalty area.
