Cheick Tioté (1986–2017)

Linked as Toure's replacement in Jan in the Daily Mail.

 

I think they are in for a surprise if City intend to replace Toure with Tiote. Although I suspect it's just lazy journal(rac)ism: "scary black midfielder to replace another scary black midfielder".

I rate Tiote if used properly, but he's not good enough to play for Man City, and probably not Arsenal either. Although his boosted confidence from the move might make him useful to Arsenal in the short term.

One of the commentators on the Sky team seemed to think he wants a move. I don't know where that came from, haven't heard it anywhere else.

To be honest, at his age he's looking at a last chance to jump to the next level of clubs and sign a big contract. I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to force a move.

I was just highlighting the lazy assumption that all African midfielders are cut from the same cloth :lol:

 

Tiote and Toure are very different footballers.

That's why I don't disagree when Toure says he feels under-rated because he's African.

 

Comparing Tiote to Toure is like comparing Gerrard to Colback.

Wanted by Manu, arsenal & Liverpool in January...for around £15m...bye then  :lol:

 

They'll get him for a third of that if they've got the bottle to go in low enough.

Aye - he'll kick off and demand a move imho. He's after a move.

Hold on a minute though. Bear in mind that Tiote has been Pardewed for 4 years now and when he came he was class, in fact probably the best DM in the premier league in his first season.

He's undoubtedly a lot beter player than we see currently.

I heard on the radio that he had hurt his "head" in the warm up.  Sounds odd - anyone know what happened?

 

 

 

A piece from the TV fell off.
