  UNHAPPY ... Arsenal's Kolo Toure

  KOLO TOURE will add to Arsenal’s mounting woes by demanding showdown talks with Arsene Wenger. He has become increasingly upset with what he sees as the manager’s favourable treatment of fellow defender William Gallas.

   

  Toure, on £2.6million a year, plans to make it clear he will no longer play second fiddle to £4m-a-year Gallas. Along with other Arsenal stars, he believes Gallas’ lack of leadership was instrumental in their collapse in the title race and Champions League.

   

  Now he wants reassurances from boss Wenger his contribution is appreciated. The Gunners are eyeing a £24million move for Sporting Lisbon’s Miguel Veloso.

   

  Veloso is regarded as one of Europe’s top defensive midfielders — and is seen as replacement for Mathieu Flamini, now at AC Milan.

  its part of the manager job to oversee the overall pay budget for their club just like how you and me sets and stick to any given budget proposed so i don't see any reason to do a "F**K Wenger"
