Yes, it’s all done and dusted now… Kolo has moved…
Hughe said:
“I am delighted to welcome Kolo to Manchester City. It is no secret that we have been looking to strengthen our defence, and in Kolo I feel we have recruited a world class player. He brings a wealth of Premier League experience from his seven seasons with Arsenal,” he declared.
“Kolo has been a central figure in a very strong Arsenal team for many years, and I have been an admirer of him for a long time. He is strong, quick, reads the game well and will be an influential figure in the dressing room.

Well, it’s getting close to it now, but Arsene did admit that Kolo may leave:
“We will see what’s happening in the next 24 hours, nothing is decided yet. We have seven centre-backs and I am in the position where I have to play some in midfield but of course Kolo is a very good player and we will see what will happen in the next 24 hours.”

Ouch!
Kolo Toure is reportedly flying back to England from Arsenal’s Austria training base to finalise his transfer to Manchester City.
Sky Sports News report that Toure is returning to undergo a medical at Eastlands after the two clubs agreed a fee of £16m.
It’s thought that Toure may be unveiled as a City player by Friday. If so, Toure will be the second Arsenal player in as many weeks to leave for Eastlands after the £25m transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor.
