Kolo Toure

[Gibbo]

Kid from Ivory Coast played 2 hours after his dad died the other day.

As a Muslim the lad would be buried straight away - I suppose they feel that that the funeral would be over before they even got home

They'd say prayers & hold a khatum (type of religious service) for him whilst in Brazil with team mates etc I should think

Kid from Ivory Coast played 2 hours after his dad died the other day.

Was that not a bit of BS in the end ? Died 8 years back, but the player was thinking of his oul lad during the anthems.

Only have a Danish translation from a Turkish newspaper, but Trabzanspor says they are buying Kolo Toure, and are only minor details from signing him.

There's a cult figure gone - 1 season, but what a season

Thank God for that

[Bender]

Turkish club Trabzonspor insist they are confident of finalising a deal for Liverpool defender Kolo Toure.

The club had previously failed with an approach for Toure earlier in the summer, with the player unsure about the move.

But now after talks with club boss Brendan Rodgers, it appears that Toure is now warming to the idea and Trabzonspor's president Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu claims a deal is close to beind done.

"We have agreed terms with Kolo Toure and we will bring him to the club," he told Hurriyet.

Cheers Bender, it's good to have a robot to do the nitty gritty work we humans can't be bothered with!

Should have kept him if we are letting Agger and Coates go.

No way we'd be letting Agger, Coates AND Toure all leave when the whole idea this Summer is to build squad depth.

I think Agger looks like he will stay now after the Barca move didn't happen.

[RedReet]

Well I'd take that then. See ya Kolo.

Unfortunately, when i think of Kolo, i automatically think of the west brom OG.

I'm sure I'm not alone there...

Good luck to him if he goes...

Yay, I meant with all the ups and downs, brilliant start to the season, own goals, funny episodes off field etc. etc.
