Manchester City defender Kolo Toure launches a stinging attack on the club.

Manchester City defender Kolo Toure has seemingly paved the way for a January exit by launching a stinging attack on the club.

The Ivory Coast international has hardly played for City this season after missing the first part of the campaign through suspension and has claimed that he is still suffering for missing games while at the Africa Cup of Nations two years ago.

"I know my qualities and I have got nothing to prove here in England. They know me here. When you look at the performance of Savic against QPR, excuse me but I am relaxed," said Toure.

"To complete in the Africa Cup of Nations is catastrophic for a player these days. Coaches no longer want to sign players because of it... I'm convinced that, if I'm not playing for City, then it's not only for football reasons."

Toure signed for City in 2009 and was made captain by former boss Mark Hughes, but the defender lost his place after being suspended for six months for failing a drugs test at the start of the year.
