Toure'den İstikrar

Arsenal'in sezonu 18 puan farkla geride bitirmesinin ardından Wenger'e yazın kimi alacağı soruluyordu. Takımın artık abilerinden olan Toure ise "önemli olan kimin geleceği değil, kimsenin gitmemesi gerektiği" minvalinde bir açıklama yapmış.
Devamında bir oyuncunun kulübe alışmasının uzun sürebileceğini, ingiltere gibi bir ligde bunu geri döndürmenin zor olacağını söylüyor. Böyle akıllı futbolcuları seviyorum.

"Kolo Toure would welcome close-season signings but he believes that keeping the current squad together should be the summer’s top priority.

After another promising season passed without the glint of silverware at Emirates Stadium, speculation about possible comings and goings is as high as ever.

But after the high-profile departures of Alexander Hleb and Mathieu Flamini last summer, Toure knows that maintaining squad stability is often more rewarding than external solutions.

And, speaking at the Legends and Youth Ball in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust and the Arsenal Charitable Trust earlier this month, the Ivorian explained why.

“I think keeping the team together is the most important thing,” he said. “When you stay with your team-mate for three or four years you start to learn how he plays.

“That helps you for the games and I think we have been together for a while now. It’s important for our improvement next season.

“Sometimes when you bring somebody else, these players have to settle and that can take a year sometimes.

“The Premier League is already difficult so if you play six months badly it’s difficult to come back.” "
