For those of you who have read the stories about Kolo Toure this morning, you will know that another former Arsenal Player has come out and said 'They pushed me out'. Kolo Toure was a legend at Arsenal and is certainly a fans favourite but after these comments, that reputation will almost certainly tarnish. He had 7 great years at Arsenal, and definitely made his mark on the Arsenal faithful, coming as a complete unknown to become one of the greatest defenders we have had at the club. However hes form did deteriorate towards the end of his time at Arsenal and question marks were left on whether he could still cut it at the top level.
Mr Toure has come out and said that he didn't want to stir up any trouble but states the reason he left the club is because he was pushed out by an un-named player. Now it doesn't take a brain scientist to work out who this player is, it is well documented that Toure and Gallas did not get along together. However i find this very cowardly by Kolo because what ever walk of life we partake in, we will come across people we tend not to get along with, but we don't all quit our jobs we so call 'love'. The facts are that Mr Toure has been spending too much time talking to our old friend Adebayor. Adebayor has been whinging and whining along with Carlos Tevez(formerly of Man Utd) that he was pushed out of the club, and we treated him unfairly. The thing Kolo Toure needs to understand is that he was actually loved by the fans which is more than i can say about Adebayor. All Adebayor and Tevez talk about is how badly they were treated, I cant recollect a time where either have talked in full about their own club without bringing their old clubs into it. This begs the question to me, whether they all regret leaving Arsenal and Man Utd respectively, in order to pursue the get rich quick scheme which is currently operating at City.
At the end of the day Kolo made the decision to leave the club he so called 'loved' and hes reasoning behind it was to say that we pushed him out. Not only does this make him look like a complete and utter wally but it also risks his reputation and love that the Arsenal Fans have for him. I personally will always respect Kolo Toure as a player and as an individual and will always remember the times he had at Arsenal, I also wish him the best at Man City, but I just wish that he would accept the fact that he went for bigger financial initiatives and not because he was pushed out, I would respect him more for saying the truth rather than covering it with a web of lies, like his buddy Adebayor.

you can never know with interviews, because somebody is asking him these questions. He could have went on to say how much he loves Arsenal and wish he was back, but they wouldn't print that because it isn't gossip.
