Ronaldo

How come Tiote isn't one of the big clubs etc? It doesn't work like that. Like Tiote, he's limited. But he's the best naturally defensive midfielder in Europe.

Because you're not very bright, perhaps?

Arsenal out of the Champions League.

Poor Gervinho. He must have been on cloud nine after 10 minutes up against Ryan Taylor.

Don't like him. Far less talented version of Roman Pavlyuchenko.

Cissokho is the best on Fifa.

LOL. It was less than 2 years back than Hughton figured out a way for that lot to play us off the park.

Not last season he wasn't. After bigging him up a few years, most my Gooner mates were telling me how s**** he was last season when he played. He battled injuries most of last season. Excellent player. He'll prove it this year. Certainly better than Clichy. Now he was truly s**** last season. You lose all credibility with nonsense like that. Okay, well I thought Clichy was awful last year. Numerous errors. I really thing Gibbs has big potential. My opinion. I'll be proved right because I'm really good like that. But remember, if Ronaldo says it it's true, hate his dogmatic way. You're an Arsenal fan, and that's your input? Says it all.

No he isn't. He's the very best at what he does.

Not really.

Yep. Lassana Diarra for one.

Yeah, right.

According to the rags, perhaps. The facts point to the opposite.

His agent relentlessly linked him with Birmingham. McLeish knew him from his time at Rangers, however, and stayed well away.

Don't think Rangers are stupid enough to give him a contract.

Why would anyone want Maynard? It would clearly mean the end of striker spending, on a player with no top level experience.

How about turning Simpson inside out and scoring in the spring of 2010?

Are you Joe Kinnear, seriously?

Why would anyone need one of the best defensive midfielders in the league. We would, that's for sure. A team that plays football like Man U, clearly not. They could do with someone to break up play when their getting dry humped by Barca in midfield, not saying it's Tiote but it's daft to say they have no need of a defensive midfielder. They'd simply have one if Ferguson wanted that (type of ) player. Tiote's great, but I don't think he's well-rounded enough for Ferguson to spend big money on him.

Well considering you've changed your originally statement, it is a little easier to understand. As I pointed out there's a difference between the statements. You're wrong as to whether he would be the type of player they need. He would be a big help in games when they come up against teams who can go toe to toe with them. They obviously wouldn't need him against the likes of West Brom. I changed nothing. As I said, he's not a Man U player. If you have trouble interpreting that as 'he's not a Man U type of player,' you need help, frankly. Either that or you just fancied wasting some time.

He isn't the type of player than Man U need or have traditionally deployed. Simple enough?

Why would Man U need a Tiote?
