[Video] Please Wenger NOT Kolo!!!

I cant understand it!!!

WHY SELL KOLO?

Wenger today said we have 7 Center backs at Arsenal and he might sell Kolo Toure.

So let me get this right? Wenger is keeping Silvestre, Senderos and Djouoro and Alex Song and is cashing in on our best defender?

A player who has become a legend at the club. A player who is loved by the fans, A player who was always given 100% for the club, A player that never moaned about being one of the lowest paid players at the club, A player who never moaned about being played in almost every position on the field?

WHY? is it all about making a profit for Wenger? Surly Kolo is better then ALL of the current center backs at Arsenal?

If Wenger has 2 many CB then why not get ride of Silvestre? Why not sell Djouoro who has not done anything to impress. Why sell one of the most experienced players we have?

But it looks like its a done deal and we will be getting £16m for Toure. And Wenger has worked his magic and done what he is best at. Finding a player for a small amount and then cashes in on them. But is that what we have become…Are we now a feeder club for the big boys?

I’m gutted, Kolo was a big favorite of mine, where on the other hand i could not wait to see the back of Adebayor. I feel the total opposite about Kolo.

Sad day for Arsenal and again if proves that Wenger cares only about one thing..Profit

    JIMBO – GREAT SHOUT OSMAN, KALOU AND A BURGUNDY TIE

    THE WINNING COMBINATION HUBBA HUBBA

  3. blackbeard now he was a proper pirate says:

    you’re right we do need Kolo’s pace – unfortunately so does Kolo so good bit of business imo.

  4. JIMBO says:

    Yes maxwell you know dat shit makes sense. bring in those three additions (burgundy tie most important) and BOOYAKASHA my friend. then you wont be laughing no more Mr Ferguson

  5. Tja says:

    i am going to start by saying our first 4 games are everton portsmouth man city and united, plus two CL qualifiers our seanson could be in trouble from the start as any new players will need time to adjust with pre season nearly over things dont look good, now i know we usually start the season very well but wenger is going to have to pull this one out of the hat. the only consilation i can take from the sale of toure and adeboyor is the ACN.

  6. abz says:

    yes u will lol

  7. David says:

    Sinbad you are a completely losing your football senses…do you really think Kolo is that good??? he is nothing more than a headless chicken who has a habit of conceding penalties and free-kicks. If you think he is better than Gallas than do us a favour and close this blog down as people are merely mocking you now. By the way, you are still to answer my point over who you would have to replace Wenger, as you deplore the fact he is our manager! But then you are bombarded by messages poking fun at you it must be diffuclt knowing which way to turn. Toure our best centre-back, got any more pearls of wisdom sunshine???

  8. Pete says:

    Sad to see a great servant of the club leave, but with 12 months left on his contract and the ongoing fued with Gallas (Wengers favourite) he never stood a chance, he probably would not have signed a new contract next year and wanted to leave last christmas anyway, so it was the obvious outcome really. hopefully now wenger will spend the ade and kolo money on the two positions we need reinforcements in, defensive midfield and a centre half, if it was me i’d go for Hangeland (premieship experience) or Lucio who wants out of Bayern and either Inler (up and coming and hard as nails)or Hitzelsberger (premiership experience and cheap), but only time will tell.

  9. BigBlue says:

    I am a City fan and for one hope we do sign Toure. Not just because he is a very good player and will improve us, but it will also weaken Arsenal and open up the place for 4th spot.

    Don’t be suprised if Adebayor has not had a word with Toure (they are mates). But on the plus side for you guys is, atleast you will not be missing Toure or Adebayor for the African nationals (not that we don’t have good replacements in Onuoha/Richards/Kompany)

    Also don’t be suprised if City go in for Hangeland as well, if we fail with Lescott.

    I suggest you go to as many Champions League games as you can this season, as this will be your last season for awhile.

  10. GB says:

    The board do not accept dividends because they get taxed on them. They are given wages as employees of the club meaning less tax. They don’t actually do work.

    Another shit article by the toddlerblogger

  11. Sweeeenn says:

    Agree with you Arsenal Action. Again you are the only Blog that comes out and says how we feel.

    Thank you

  12. iceman says:

    you are all a bunch of idiots!KOLO was the reason we let in many goals!Wenger will bye a central defender that can play right back if Eboue is sold!!!Im 100% sure of that..my guess is Zapata!silvester is just a back up!!

  13. David says:

    SO WHO WOULD YOU HAVE AS MANAGER YOU UTTER TUBE??????

  14. andreidagiant says:

    the day wenger wins a trophy is the day he gets all the criticism out of the day from his own fans! he hasnt won anything for ages and selling kolo is a mistake. unless he feels vermealan will replace kolo and toure will nit be playin no more. on the other hand we should first get rid of silvestre and senderos before we get to one of our main centre backs. either way kolo’s form last season was rattling and we must let wenger decide what to do with that, as long as adebayor is replaced (huntelaar!!) all should be fine. to me this is wengers last season to win somethin, if not he has to go because he had more then enough time to do something, he might be past his time in managing

  15. blackbeard now he was a proper pirate says:

    Can someone please explain how the board’s pockets are being lined? they haven’t accepted any dividends for ages while the fat uzbekistani has called for dividends to be paid on a number of occasions.

    They have placed the club in debt for the stadium thus putting a big liability (both long term and short term) on the balance sheet which won’t be that appealing for potential buyers and the majority have been involved in the club for many years and have family connections. There’s a fair bit of turbulance going on at board level but as baords go Arsenal’s is one of the best out there.

    On a side note – anyone wondering if they’re looking to pay the stadium debt off early without the Uzbeks help?

    don’t wish to be pedantic but he was 29!

  17. 26may1989 says:

    I’m delighted I’ve discovered this blog, it’s just so full of rubbish from Sinbad/Arsneal Action, it’s funny!

    Sinbad, we all love Kolo, but he hasn’t put in a decent run of performances for 2-3 years, and has obviously lost whatever enabled him (in a strange and chaotic way) to be effective. He’s no more than a squad player now, and may well be 4th choice at CB and 3rd choice RB. £5m would be good for a 28 year old in that position (and one who’ll be out at the ACN in Jan and Feb) but £15m would be spectacular.

    And you don’t rate Hangeland?? You think Kolo’s better than him??! Surely that’s just a wind-up, you can’t understand football that poorly! But then you have only been an Arsenal fan since 1997…

    And I can’t believe you seriously say stuff like “Somebody said on the forum that…” as evidence. Try this: “Somebody said on the forum that Ken Dodd is Prime Minister” – sound any more convincing??!

    I do agree with one thing you say though: Kolo is clearly a better pro than Gallas, who despite being far superior technically, is an utter dick and an unreliable one at that. I would love Kolo to stay as a squad player, but I don’t begrudge him going, especially if we use Man Shitty’s ludicrously spent cash to get Hangeland, Huntelaar and a DM (Mohamadou Diara perhaps) without a net spend, great.

  18. Daz says:

    ‘We have too many centre backs’……… so he is going to sell one of our best defenders and keeep some of the other shite!!!!!!!!! I think we are well and truly fucked next season, Toure is one of the only players at Arsenal who shows a bit of fight and agression which we so lack in the team – so we go and sell him???????
    I just can not put into words how pissed off i am with Arsene Wenger and Arsenal football club at the moment!
    What has happened to this club?? What the fucks going on???
    We are becoming a FEEDER club!

  19. Mattc says:

    blackbeard – you referring to the “cunning plan” that was mentioned regarding Highbury Square? Or do you mean the board are trying to get Man City to pay for our stadium – if so, at least it’s got the right name…!

  20. Duh says:

    I’m sure there are many good players that Citeh haven’t signed. You need to develop your arguments better.

  21. goonergerry says:

    Selling our most consistent defender for the past 5 seasons and our most prolific goalscorer for the past 2 years to a team that Wenger himself has already stated will be strongly competing for the 4CL spot is such an incredibly bad business decision it really needs to investigated by shareholders at the club. I can’t think of another top premiership club who would have sanctioned the move.
    Yes Toure was not at his best last season until near the end after suffering Malaria-and one injury plagued season did not make Ade a bad player either. But if we had to sell them to raise money to buy new players- a very big if given-the market is so inflated that we simply cannot buy players of similar calibre or experience-for the money received from Man City. If we need to raise cash then sell fringe players- especially those who have demonstrated that they can’t cut it in big games – like 3 of our so called centrebacks and Eboue and one or two others.
    Lets face it given Wenger’s track record in the transfer market, and the pressure on prices this will have created, no new experienced players will strengthen the squad by the time the season starts.

  22. chris says:

    we could buy hangeland anyway why do we have to sell THE BEST DEFENDER at our club. after the malairia he did take time to recover but to me toure was the best defender in the last part of the season.it doesnt help his been having to play with a baby(Gallas) and a never has been in silvestshit who cost us so dearly last year at crucial times

    TOURE has to STAY to partner Hangeland with verminator and dujurou as back up

  23. Jimmy says:

    As far as i am aware Kolo didn’t ‘get’ Malaria at the African Cup of Nations. He had already had it for several years an had a relapse attack (a week or more of severe flu like symptoms) which is not uncommon from those who have it. It is a parasite that lives in the body for life and then (usually about once a year) becomes active making you sick for a week or so. There is absolutely no reason why Malaria would make him less of a footballer other than the fact that he can have an attack which will put him out of action for a couple of games. So people shouldn’t write him off, just as they shouldn’t write off people with Diabetes or those who suffer from Migranes

  24. GunnerRyder says:

    I think before we make any judgements as to what Wenger is like maybe we should wait until we see what he does with the money he has recieved from Adebayor and Toure. If he does not sign AT LEAST one world class preformer and God forbid he fails to make any signings its obvious that the board have hoodwinked the fans (Wenger has money to spend) and that Arsenal FC has become a selling club with aspirations of only challenging for a top four place.

  25. Daevanam says:

    Im going to assume you didnt watch Arsenal at all last season. If you did, you would know exactly why selling Toure for 16 odd million is a damn good piece of business.

  26. Saidi says:

    I must say this is one of the most disappointing sales ever, only second to the sale of Patrick Vieira. We complain about some players not having loyalty, I think we should blame the board. Wenger always favours the French, I think he’s treating Gallas superior to Toure, which is far from the case, and in any sense. Wenger grow some!!

  27. Mike the greek gooner says:

    Do you ever go to the emirates or do you just comment on things you clearly have no idea on ?

    Was/Is Kolo a legend ? Yes
    Can he still cut it ? Certainly not on the evidence of last season his biggest assets were pace and strength, both have diminished he was never a reader of the game, he reacted to situations so his strength and pace saved him.

    You love to hate Arsene yet you fail to realise the financial restraints he has been under even though people are shouting it from the rooftops. We have turned into a top 4 team rather than challenging for the championship, where would we be without him? NOT EVEN TOP 4 !!!!!

    It is a long term strategy, it needs patient fans not moronic johnny come lately’s like you.

  28. 4finger shuffle says:

    i love kolo and loasthe gallas as much as any other gooner, but the fact of the matter is that 15/16 mill for a 28 yr old whos had a poor run of form for 2years is a great opportunity. 1 more bad sdeason and what would he be worth?
    gallas was better than him last season and im expecvting vermaelen to be dominating as much as willy soon enough.
    the african nations arguemennt also stands. plus imo, once i heard arshavin say that he came into out dressing room and noone spoke english, it was all french, it was an embarrassment. out with bayor, eboue, and sadly kolo. then english players may actually wanna come to us. i feel sorry for theo. hes got no english lads, but is in a dressing room dominaterd by loud french speaking africans. the new laws comin in, coupled with youngsters coming thru should signal a more domestically orientated arsenal.

  29. gooner_ali says:

    what a dumb comment. Man City are blind

  30. 26may1989 says:

    You say that “this is wengers last season to win something, if not he has to go because he had more then enough time to do something”. Just answer me this then: assuming there isn’t any real money to spend, who would do better than Wenger?

    In the last two years of the anti-Wenger brigade’s hysterics, I’ve yet to hear a credible response to that question. Think you can do better??

  31. 26may1989 says:

    Mike the Greek, spot on, 100%.

  32. gooner_ali says:

    nothing is wrong with gallas. Media hype. Rooney aint getting shit for all the things he has done.

  33. gooner_ali says:

    dumb blog.

  34. Marko says:

    Still blaming him on everything thats shit in your life. You really are sad and clearly not a real supporter. Sad to see Kolo go but he is not our best defender that is Gallas and if we replace him with Zapata or Hangeland then we are much better off than with Toure.

    You are simply an idiot sinbad. Blaming absolutely everything thats wrong in your life on Wenger. Pathetic moron.

  35. Amz says:

    honestly cnt believe this is happening 2 us,1 FUKN QUESTION,WHYYYYY NOT LET OUR BILLIONAIRE OWNERS HELP WHEN THEY WANT TO????THEN WE SELL OUR BEST PLAYERS COZ WE ARE BROKE HA,what a fuknnn joke our club is becoming,fukn disgrace.
    fuk wenger/the board and all their mothers,fukn filthy bastards

  36. Amz says:

    idnt give a fuk about those people backing wenger and the board,reality is we ILL NEVER BE AS GOOD,and why am saying that just coz of the evidence of wts been happening last few years,hillwood the bastard has 2 quit now before we are a champoinship again,and if wenger follows even better,bring some1 younger/hungery 4 trophies and ambition which is clearly wenger and the board arnt anymore.dickheads

  37. HH says:

    i dont mind wenger selling ade crapshit and toure for great money but he better buy better players to replace them

  38. bigsnoop says:

    No your the idiot silvestre was the reason we conceded so many goals. We kept more clean sheets with Toure in the team than any other central defender FACT!!!

    Toure will be missed but it depends who we replace him with that will determine just how much we miss him.

  39. M Polo says:

    I loved Toure watching him improve then be part of the invincibles. Players get sold all the time and 16 mill is good money and he will get 100k a week at mercenary city BUT………. I dont think Wengers buying ANYONE! Gooners still stay talking shit on blogs like they know anything. WE SELL OUR BEST PLAYERS EVERY SEASON AND BUY CHEAP REPLACEMENTS LIKE SYLVESTER. Toure wanted to go so cool but we aint buying Huntelar we will use Bendtnar, Vermin whatever is Toures replacement face facts. Highest ticket prices in europe to watch youth team and injury prone talent. Cesc will be pimped to Barca sooner or later coz we a selling club. Now rant over let the season start and pray for the best (3rd or 4th).

  40. ADEBAYOR BLACK DIK says:

    WE GOT KOLO NOW ARSENAL ARE BUMBLECLAT WASTEMAN TEAM YOU RACIEST SELLIN BLAK PLAYER AND TING ENJOY EUROPA LEAGUE SOON YOU KKK CUNTS

  41. adam truman says:

    Great player, but passed his prime these few years.
    Bought £150,000
    Sold £15,000,00
    Brilliant return and 9years service.
    Even rumoured that he a lot older than 28yo.

    Don’t think its Wenger fault theres no cash to buy players.
    Its the board who have very little cash flow and will have to refinance short term like Liverpool

  42. bigsnoop says:

    Kolo Toure and Gallas played 17 games last season in all comps conceeded 10 goals in that period and kept TEN clean sheets Also between jan 25 and Feb the 28th we played 8 times in that period;
    Cardiff 0-0
    Everton 1-1
    West-ham 0-0
    Cardiff 4-0
    Tottenham 0-0
    Roma 1-0
    Sunderland 0-0
    fulham 0-0

    Kolo toure started 7 games in that period (and I’ll bet you’ll never guess which game he missed!)

  43. JO arsenal Damu says:

    Yeaaaaa. KING KOLO has achieved alot for arsenal….he has never been what we saw of Gallas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. JO arsenal Damu says:

    I agree. It either Gallas or Toure….we keep Gallas coz he is French…okkkkkkk. I hope we finish 6th next season!

  45. IRISHGOONER says:

    cant say i agree, yes its quite worrying that we are selling more than buying players. Though to be honest Kolo had a fairy poor season and it wont be long until his speed goes. providing that Arsene gets us quality in the 3 main areas we should be fine.

  46. stephen murphy says:

    here we go again .. more shit from arsenal action.. im starting to take offence to the name of this web site.. you should not use the great name that you destroy time and time again and that is arsenal as part of the name.. you go on like you know everything .. your a disgrace calling yourself an arsenal fan ..all i see on this page is we be lucky if arsenal finishes fourth.this player is shit and so on. come on.the season has not even started yet so wat do you know and i do believe arsenal will be strengthened.. he will have 41 million at his disposal and if he sells eboue then over 50 million.. wenger has a plan and he is not showing his cards yet.. you must remember another thing at the moment transfer fees are well over the top and teams are doubling prices but as time ticks on prices will drop because they will start getting desperate… so wenger i believe in you and always will and watever you do or decide i will back you /team and this amazing club…also arsenal action i remember an article you wrote a couple of months ago saying toure was past it..another thing go away and write a good positive article about about the players we have.. peace out

  47. gooneramaan says:

    Real Madrid dont have financial problem they would have got Wenger every player in the world he want. so i seriously doubt he would have gone 4 season without winning anything, if he was a Madrid coach.

    He has to manage the balance sheet here. that wouldn’t have been the case at madrid

  48. Stu says:

    I agree in that we shouldnt be selling Toure ahead of Silvestre and Djourou but to say he is our best defender is wide of the mark imo.
    His performance levels have seriously dropped in the last year or two. And imo since he wont be starting next season 16m is a good bit of business for someone that wont be starting and has one year left on his contract.

    I’ll be sad to see him go for sure, even more so because its to another premiership club (a rival no less) but he isnt on top form anymore. He panics quite a lot under pressure and needs a father fiqure next to him to get the best out of him.

    I dont want him sold ahead of others but if he isnt happy (and the transfer requests indicated that he isnt) then he should move on unfortunately. And if some of the 40m we just made isnt re-invested then i will go fucking mad. Wenger better spend that money!

  49. IRISHGOONER says:

    De Rossi was on the official Arsenal website and wiki today as a a new number 13. We were said to have signed him in June. This would be a nice suprise if true

  50. Rob says:

    what you say makes sense. But i agree with AA. Whether Kolo wanted to leave or not is besides the point. What the move confirms is that we are a small club managed by a small minded board. We should continue praying for fourth place to be viable because winning anything is beyond any of them.
