CB Kolo Toure: SELL

As far as the football is concerned, allowing Toure to walk is an easy one.

As far as visceral decisions coming from the heart, this tears mine apart.

Toure is a fan favorite and a player that is great to have in a locker room. A great example of that notion is when he scored against Aston Villa. It was the 6th goal in a 6-0 thrashing. But all of the players were beatified when the net bulged and Toure euphorically wheeled away to celebrate.

The problem is that he’ll be 35-years-old in March. He joined the club as an auxiliary option in defense and has slowly regressed since then.

Toure is a player who is always seemingly swathed with joy and that genial aura is infectious. Having positive attitudes around the club is a, well, positive. He just may be passed it next season, and there’ll be plenty options for central defenders at Liverpool.

Is there any way to consecrate the Liverpool version of Kolo Toure? Because there should be.
