Looks like Tiote will be on his way then, reading between the lines - Chelsea or Arsenal possible destinations? Selling your best players is always risky, because you have to bring in a replacement who is as good as what you have lost, otherwise the team goes backwards. You only have to look back to the 80's, when Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoinge were peddaled and the side (and club) suffered as a result.
