The Ivorian midfielder is unhappy at the current for of his team but insists he wants to finish his career at City. Toure feels like home at Etihad Stadium and wants to play there for years to come. He's enjoying the freedom Roberto Mancini has given him as opposed to the more restricted role he had when he was at Barcelona.

Toure was with Ivory Coast at the African Cup of Nations
City's title defense isn't on the right track at the moment as they are 15 points behind first placed Manchester United but the 29-year-old feels a win against Chelsea could start be a start of a good run for the Citizens.
"I want to give all to this club for a long time," he told The Sun. "It's quite strange because all my career I've been with clubs for two or three years.

He has credited Roberto Mancini for giving him a more advanced role
"Normally I change clubs after one or two years but it's different here. I want to stay longer. Sometimes you're not happy with something or you don't feel comfortable in the city and you need change - but not here.
"Of course I'd like to end my career here. For three years it has been enjoyable to be with guys who love you, guys who care about you."
He has also credited Roberto Mancini for giving him a more advanced role in the team.
"In England the football is all about power, strong running and tackling. I feel like this is home for me and the fans are lovely."
City missed Toure when he left for the African Cup of Nations and his lack of presence was felt as the team collapsed without him.
"When your friends need you and you are away it's always harder," he added. "You want to be with them. It's always difficult - I'm African and the tournament makes us leave for one month.
"Your club have to play hard games. Sometimes I feel sad. When I was away we didn't get the right results and January is always hard because we have to play every three days. But it's part of football - we can do nothing about it."
