NG32 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I hope this means he is staying long term, but given Carroll was sold less than 4 months in to a new 5 year contract I am not entirely optimistic. Aye but that 5 year deal he signed gained us 35 million to reinvesnt. Dont get me wrong here, i' rather have tiote then money but we all know what could happen in the summer. This deal that tiote has signed may put potential bidders off or will force them to spend top wedge. As i think they thought they would pick up the lad on the cheap. personally i hope we keep him.

madras Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Great news. He will feel wanted and rewarded and for the negative people on here, it pushes his value right up as well! Comments coming from a number of players seriously need to be taken on board by Ashley. With investment he can keep these players together and we move on to a new level. This summer really is crucial. does that mean investing the carroll money or the club oweing ashley more than one hundred odd million that it already does ? I think he will get his money back from a total sale of the club. Its better for Ashley to get the club qualifying for europe on a regular basis would make us even more attractive to potential buyers. This 35 million could be a spring board for the club wilst also resigning players like Barton, Nolan, Enrique, Jonas and Colo. We have a good core that could be added to. A club with 52 k fans, well run finances and playing in europe on a regular basis is far more attarctive then the s*** Ashley picked up from the Halls and shepherds. i'm not so sure, say he puts in another 50mill to reach that point, i doubt he'd get 250-300million for us.

Zero Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Same as Carroll's situation: if the player is adding value to the club, he won;t be sold unless it's a ridiculous amount of money. So if a club again offers 35m for Tiote, Ashley will do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Very pleased with the news, however i thought we were dead set against giving players new contrats when they were just a few months into one? at the very least it means we will get a large sum for him if he is sold.

Jayson Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Carrolls situation was different anyway. You had a club desperate to fill the position of their star striker & potentially attempting to negotiate with clubs & go for a player + give out wages they wouldnt have tried to had they had far more time to work things out.

Nah, I think we're just dead against bowing to player demands when they've just had a pay rise. I get the feeling this was driven by the club in order to make Tiote's position more secure, and to reward him for a brilliant season. Bit different to the Carroll situation IMO.

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Using the logic employed thus far in this thread, I bet Villa won't offer Ashley Young a new contract because he's just going to leave anyway if somebody bids a STUPID amount of money for him. Pointless trying to keep him if Man U etc are contemplating maybe perhaps bidding for him one day maybe in the future perhaps maybe maybe maybe. Just like when Spurs renewed Gareth Bale's contract earlier this season in light of performances, does this mean that they won't sell him if someone bids £60million or something for him? Course they will, but they've shown their commitment to the player by improving his wage and illustrating that he has a long-term role at the club, which is just what we've done with Tiote. If someone bids something daft for him in the Summer, so be it, but I'm not going to lose sleep worrying about it, I'm just going to enjoy watching him play for as long as he plays for us because he is amazing. Somebody earlier in the thread said it best I think, "I might get knocked over a by a bus tomorrow, doesn't mean I'm going to spend all day worrying about it" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not really, giving the player more money to ward off any interest they might have in leaving either way. Whether they asked for it or its given really doesnt mean much. In one situation we were offered 35m, thats the only difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over market value. Lets say Man U bid £35-£40million for Ashley Young, being realistic he's not worth 3 Rafael Van Der Vaarts, or 2 Malouda's is he. I would see that as being a stupid amount for him, basically far more than he is realistically worth. Like when we bought Carl Cort for £8million or whatever it was, that was a stupid fee, about 8 times his worth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antec Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Seem to have two fairly staunchly opposing camps forming over this news! Personally, I think it's fantastic - committing a player of his calibre is just the pick-me-up we needed as a club - just as we are (internally and externally) questioned as to whether we are a selling club ready to cash in on our best assets this summer. It is rather sad though, looking at the big picture, that the fan's trust in the regime has been so thoroughly battered that it questions whether this is just a ploy to plump up Tiote's price/encourage season ticket renewals before he is eventually sold - and while maybe such arguments should seem far-fetched, they're not ridiculous and not as easily dismissed as they should be. Anyway, here's hoping to many years of Tiote dominating midfields for the Toon Just wanted to highlight this as unsurprisingly it seems to have been ignored As for Tiote, good news it would appear unless the loose cannon has another brain-lapse in store Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
