midds Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Has that even been confirmed as accepted? We bid 2.5m. Hang on lads, hold your horses - this lad knows exactly what bids we've made. Let me guess, you can't tell us how you know, but you know. Someone's a little cranky. I'm not claiming ITK at all on this one. Not the best sources, but other more reliable places have mentioned us watching him too. http://www.tribalfootball.com/newcastle-made-check-fc-twente-midfielder-tiote-cheick-1037551 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/7915859/Premier-League-Transfer-Talk-Club-by-club-Football-Transfers-Football-Rumours-July-28.html http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/article?contentId=2076177 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6304588,00.html So you've read that we've bid 2.5m for him then? I am in a bit of a shitty mood seeing as you've asked btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie87 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Get the fuck in! He's going to be the difference man. A creative player like that and we're gonna survive for sure. Can't believe I missed us signing him like. Why delete the thread afterwards though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I wonder what the ratio is of posts concerning genuine transfer links: posts concerning bollocks. I'm guessing about 1:25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good number of folks have said the thread should be locked until something happens, that it's embarrassing etc etc. Wasn't my idea to sticky it but it gets it out of the way nicely it seems.

It's mental how big it has grown despite the lack of actual progress with the whole thing. Better that it's stickied than locked though. I'm quite enjoying reading it on a daily basis.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think this thing has mushroomed as the fans are so starved of genuinely exciting players coming to the club. Who was the last real eye catching signing that instantly got the fans going? They've certainly been few and far between since Ashley took the reigns. This lad is obviously a talent yet a bit mental. It was good enough for us under Bobby with Robert and it should be good enough today. Its a mega thread as we're simply crying out for someone who can get you out of your seat when they get the ball.

And it is genuinely a mad transfer. Shouldn't be forgotten. Don't know how the British media can be so slow to pick up on the events. Players going on strike, unilaterally flying to England, then being turned away from their desired destination because the club don't want to be hit by a FIFA punishment, plus christ knows what else. This is newsworthy. There's more than normal to talk about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
