Toure is lucky to get in the team, never mind be captain. Also making him club captain means it is difficult for the manager to drop him.
I dunno about all of that, I still think it was a good move for both the team and dunnie for him to move onto pastures new, sometimes a player needs a change of scenery to reignite their career, I think this was the case with Dunnie. Hughes had a ready made dunnie replacement in Kompany so we didn't really need toure to be honest
I wouldn't have sold Dunne yet because I expected injuries & teething problems but if you want to build a side that passes from the back, Dunney's not your man, all it does is makes him nervous as he showed last season (& he ends up lumping it anyway).
I don't think many of us have overrated Toure have we? I thought the general consensus was we knew he could possibly be a good player but not whether he would be? I haven't seen proof of good or bad yet, just a defender in his 1st season at club looking like a defender in his 1st season at a club.
