Arsene as good as confirms Kolo is off

Add comment July 28th, 2009

In an exclusive interview with ArsenalTVOnline, Arsene Wenger seemed to suggest that Kolo Toure is, as reported, on the verge of a £15m move to Man City:

“We’ll see what’s happening in the next 24 hours … we have many centre-backs, seven centre-backs and I’m in a position where we have to play some in midfield… but of course Kolo is a very good player – we’ll see what happens in the next 24 hours.”

Arsene also spoke about the possibility of bringing in some new players:

“At the moment I’m more focused to get everybody fit for the start of the season.  We are looking for opportunities as well, but at the moment we still have some pre-season games to see what we really need, and when the time has come we will do something … I wouldn’t like to set any time on that.”

If, as mooted, we sell Kolo (and possibly Eboue) in addition to Emmanuel Adebayor, the pressure on Arsene to spend will be greater than ever.

Arsene’s comments were made after a 5-0 friendly win over Szombathelyi Haladas, in which Nicklas Bendtner and Eduardo grabbed two goals each, with Robin van Persie adding another from the penalty spot.  We lined up in a 4-3-3 formation yet again, and it seems that Arsene is maybe adopting a quantity over quality approach in the middle of the park.  You can watch the highlights here, and check out an extraordinary penalty miss from our opposition here.  Thanks, as ever, to 101greatgoals.

That’s yer lot for today.  More comment on Kolo  if when it happens.
