Toure challenges Ade to show his best
(05-09-2010) Kolo Toure has challenged his Manchester City team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor 'to fight for his place' at Eastlands. Adebayor has been warming the bench this season, with City manager Roberto Mancini preferring Carlos Tevez to lead the attack. On Saturday Toure called on his former Arsenal team-mate to prove why City paid £25m for him. "We are all top players here. When you play for a top club you need to fight for your place,” Toure told the Daily Star. "Adebayor had a difficult season last year but he is working hard. He is happy at City and you will see a much better player this year.” He added: “I'm sure he will be one of the best players in England this season - he will be back to his best."
