Still our best CM by a mile, not surprised Rafa isn't keen on letting him go cheaply.

 

Why people feel the need to add this at the end of these statements is beyond me. Unless you're around Cabaye's level you're not going to be miles ahead of anyone in our squad. He's marginally our best DM and probably on par with Anita and Shelvey slightly further forward, which is by no means anything to shout about.

Cabaye wasn't miles ahead of our squad whilst here so I agree with you about not inserting "miles ahead" when making such statements  :lol:

Cabayes intellect was light years ahead. Tiotes is not.

 

But they do very different things. Tiote doesn't need to be highly smart... just highly motivated.

 

Rafa could get 2 or 3 good seasons out of him.. but.. he wants away. Wants that one last big payday so fuck him. Let him go and fade into oblivion.

 

I bet he ends up hanging about in retirement like Olivier Bernard

As much as I'd like to blame Pardew for his shitness, it was Tiote himself who declared he modeled his game on that of Michael Essien when he arrived.

 

So what? He clearly doesn't have the attributes to be at the level of Essien, but there's nowt wrong in having the aspirations to be like a class player like him. What was he meant to say? That he modelled his game on that of Amdy Faye?
