Kolo Toure: Why I Left Arsenal?

Kolo Toure was a great defense player at Arsenal but at this recently, he joined Manchester City for a transfer fee of £16m. He has opened his mouth and has strongly criticized his former club for giving too much importance to youth rather than experience. We all know that Arsenal Coach Arsene Wenger is always eager to get young players so that he can help to keep the club profitable. Because of this policy, the club has not won a single trophy in the last few seasons. Kolo Toure has stated that this is the main reason that he left the London club.

BBC reported:

And Toure suggested that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger's reluctance to match the spending of the other top clubs has led to Arsenal dropping down the pecking order at the elite end of the English game.

"The best teams are at the top only because they have the best players and to get those players you have to spend a lot of money," he said.

"You can't be successful in football without money. This is the football business."

I do not agree with him. I think that he has just focused on money and did not think of the matter that he could have become another legend in London. Manchester City is just spending money freely but it is still unsure whether they can have more success than Arsenal.
