The Ivory Coast international opted to move to Eastlands after enduring a difficult 2008/09 campaign in North London.[LNB]And he has suggested that his lack of activity for the Gunners last term was the result of underhand tactics from a colleague he refuses to name, with the Daily Express claiming it was William Gallas.[LNB]"I had problems with certain players at Arsenal, especially one, whose name I will not say because I don't want to feed the controversy," Toure told Eurogoals One to One.[LNB]"I didn't have much time on the pitch last year because I think there's a player who got the manager believing that he and I had no understanding on the field. That did surprise me hugely."[LNB]Toure insists he did nothing to cause friction in the Arsenal camp, admitting that he had hoped to see out his playing days at the Emirates.[LNB]"I have never looked to put a spoke in anyone's wheel at all," he added.[LNB]"My wish was to finish my career at Arsenal, but there are always banana skins."[LNB][LNB] Arsenal 3/10, Draw 9/2, Standard Liege 8/1
