City must regret selling me - Kolo Toure
Liverpool defender Kolo Toure believes Manchester City have regretted letting him leave the club on a free transfer in the summer.

The Ivorian moved to Anfield having struggled to gain first-team action in his final season at the Etihad Stadium.
Toure has got off to a flying start with Liverpool, having already made eight league starts, and with Liverpool second of the table, the defender feels he has proven a point to City.
"I was better than certain players at Manchester City but I was left on the bench," the 32-year-old told The Sun.
"Before I left the club, I told the people in charge that they would regret letting me go. People said I was finished and that I could never get back to my former level.
"But now I am at Liverpool - and I am sure that City must be kicking themselves when they see how I am performing."
He said his brother, Yaya Toure, encountered a similar challenge at Barcelona when he was left on the bench in favour of Sergio Busquets.
Toure said: "Yaya was much better than Sergio Busquets at Barcelona. But he was behind him in the pecking order and he found that hard to accept.
"I advised him to come to Manchester City while I was still there. He listened to his big brother's advice - and now he is the big boss on the field for them."
