Just a quick post to say how delighted/surprised I've been with the form of Kolo Toure at centre back for Arsenal so far this season.
I must admit I wasn't convinced by the switch at first but he's strong & he's quick which means he can make up for bad positional play & the odd mistake & he's pretty useful at either bringing the ball out from the back or hitting balls to the front men(there was one early on last night where he picked out Henry with a long ball & TH hit a lob that just went wide).
So good stuff Wenger you might just have pulled another one out of the bag here (although the jury's still out at the moment).
Let's see how he goes at Man City this weekend with Sol supsended, he'll have to take on Anelka (you wouldn't expect Keown to try to cope with his pace
)& that'll be a big test for him, should he come through it then hopefully he can nail down the position for the season.
