He has got the potential to be an amazing player, you could probably count on one hand the players around who could score a goal similar to the one against Blackburn.
He will be class next season when he's in the team every week.
Naive as it is I would like to think playing for the team you support and wearing the most iconic shirt would be a large enough factor to stay there, even if it meant less money.
It's more the fact that even if there is a bigger club looking at him, it doesn't mean he needs to say it. It hardly puts him in a good light from a fans perspective.
Tiote's one of the best DMs in the league, with 5 years left on his contract and a lot better than anything Man U have in his position. 20 million is the lowest any club will get him for.
I know aye its maybe harsh. Its more the fact he never really made that much of an impact on the first team, I woulda liked to have seen him get a few more minutes through the season, it was mostly 5 minutes here and there.
And not as a replacement for Ba. People talking of getting rid of a player who is out of a bit of form should watch the first half of the season again.
The fact Chelsea (who are lower then us) have got rid of him suggests he wont be getting as high wages anyway. 40 grand a week or so isn't outside our range, and he would be a good player to bring in on a free, very good maybe.
