Kolo Toure due for City medical after Wednesday arrival
Kolo Toure reportedly said goodbye to teammates which he last trained and played with on Monday before he left the Austrian camp for a flight to back to England.
The Ivorian is subject to a transfer to Manchester City and according to Sports Mail who first hinted the news last night, the 28-year-old has said yes to a £120,000-a-week wage offer.
City have reportedly upped their offered fee from £15 to £16 million with an agreement of additional payment if the veteran impresses at Eastlands.
Arsenal have also made a “verbal” agreement with the blues and Arsene Wenger affirmed that following the preseason encounter with Szombathelyi. The Frenchman insisted a verdict on Toure’s future should be made within 24 hours.
But it will certainly take more time than that for an official declaration of the defender’s move to be made.
Kolo is set to arrive in England later on Wednesday and is due to undergo a medical which should be a success after his solid display in his farewell game for Arsenal on Monday.
Should all happen as planned, Toure will be unveiled as Manchester City’s latest recruit from Arsenal in less than a week.
the top 4 will be the same thank fuck
You say he left austria on tuesday and is due to arrive in engand on Wednesday afternon ?
So all the cancers are out of the locker room huh?
Jesus Wegner has his balls in a vice if he doesn’t buy some players.
Toure had serve The Arsenal well for many years. Though disappointed that he will be leaving us, I wish him the very best. I am sure he is leaving us with a heavy heart. Wenger on the other hand must show himself to be ambitious to bring glory to The Arsenal. He need to reinforce the squad with new and quality signings.
he left austria on Tuesday (afternoon ) and will arrive in England on Wednesday?
HOw much time do you think it takes to get from Austria to England…. I’d say proof-read your articles before posting them…
Man, I really hate this, I hope he stays because he is my favorite Arsenal defender…
Hang and Hunt to come in would make me gain some more faith in Wegner and this team.
MAKE IT HAPPEN GAFFER!
Kolo Toure is still one of the better center-back among those existing ones at The Arsenal despite claims by Wenger tnat we have enough center-backs.
Does anyone think that J.E.T can play CDM? I’ve never really seen him play and don’t know if that is his role but can anyone prove me wrong?
What would happen if all these young guns/reserves are to come up this year and provide the spark we need? And if your on the reserve team but not on the first are you alowed to get called up mid season?
