Colocho Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thought he looked off the pace today Very much so. Can't imagine sitting about in Ghana was doing him much good. Silly booking yesterday, the first of many this season no doubt. They're the kind of bookings he should be taking. Arsenal were breaking past the midfield and it needed doing. Similar to Colo's. And if he 'takes' a booking every other game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/08/14/man-united-to-make-shock-14m-bid-for-newcastle-united-star/ Manchester United have earmarked Cheik Tiote as the right man to beef up their midfield. Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly keen to add more steel to the centre of his midfield, especially now that Owen Hargreaves has been released by the club. None of the club’s current midfield options are considered out and out defensive midfielders with the likes of Anderson, Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher all being considered players that play more of a role moving the ball forwards. Chelsea were expected to renew their interest in the Ivory Coast international following the injury to Essien in pre-season training that has sidelined him for six months but instead it is United that are showing the strongest interest. Given the uncertainty that appears to surround Newcastle United and the reported unhappiness displayed by a number of the club’s squad at the manner in which Mike Ashley is running the club, perhaps a move to Man United would tempt Cheik Tiote? The Ivorian cost Newcastle United just £3.5m a year ago and an offer four times that amount may also tempt Ashley for he is clearly not immune to the idea of selling a player for financial gain even if it upsets the St James’ Park masses. Alan Pardew has been given precious little of the £35m the club received from Liverpool for Andy Carroll and has had to pick up freebie bargains or cheap talents such as Demba Ba, Yohan Cabaye and Sylvain Marveaux. The Magpies have lost captain Kevin Nolan and Jose Enrique and there is still a chance that Joey Barton will also be on his way after his twitter tirade. Ferguson is apparently a fan of the former FC Twente man and could do with some added steel in his midfield so an offer for Tiote would make sense, not least because in his debut season in the Premier League the 25 year old impressed greatly. caughtoffside have never been right about anything have they?

chicago_shearer Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 "Reportedly" is a great adverb. As a journalist or blogger, you can make something up on the spot, pass it off as "reported", implying that it is sourced, and then just carry on speculating..

BlueStar Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 14m, 40m, means nothing to the fans if its not spent on the team. Hope we can hold on to him until January. Be interesting to see the excuse machine if he does go, wasn't one of the reasons the Carroll money vanished because it was supposedly to pay for new deals for Enrique and Tiote?
