Novocastrian Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Why are we even discussing this? It's from caughtoffside. It's essentially one guy with a blog. He hasn't got any story right yet (that he's broken). Because we've shown we're willing to sell crucial players without replacement, that our transfer policy revolves around resale value, he's quadrupled in value since we bought him, Man United need a defensive midfielder and possibly the only thing which has prevented him going to their rivals is a dislike of London, we've sold our best players around him and stranded him in Ghana in a staggering display of incompetence... Even if it's a rumour that's been pulled out of someone's ass, it's not hard to see why it pushes the right buttons. Hopefully there will be nothing in this but I remember how the initial Liverpool bid for Carroll was received on this board, 'he'll never leave', 'we will never sell him etc', 'complete load of bollocks' blah blah. As the story gathered pace and was reported in more outlets this board was swamped it became obvious there was something in it. By the end of the day he was gone.

Dave Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 He'll be off next summer either way tbh, if the top clubs aren't sure now they'll be happy to wait and see if he picks up as many suspensions this year and if he can perform as impressively in his second season. And if he does, the fee will be higher which suits Ashley down to the ground. I'll enjoy him this season if he's still here, but there's no point looking beyond that IMO. Depressing, but fuck it.

This. If he does well this year we're looking at £20m, and Ashley will be all over that like a rash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Do we hope he picks up some injuries and suspensions so we might keep him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Tiote will definitely leave if Man Utd comes in for him. If they bid there is no doubt he'll be off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ykmkmdd Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 It's an irony that we don't want him constantly missing matches though suspension, but if he keeps doing it that's the one big thing might put the CL clubs off buying him.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmk Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I would be more scared if this story picks up pace. Manchester United have so many leaks their end.. De Gea, Young, Sneijder and Nasri stories have all been in the rags significantly before any bids have started to come in. If this happens with Tiote can see him wanting to go and not being stopped by anyone at the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Guess this is now the depressing reality for non-Champions League teams. If anyone of your players proves himself to be outstanding, one of the top four will take him off you. I'm afraid no team will be able to challenge these clubs unless you spend hundreds of millions. It's pretty much a closed-shop now, esp with the financial fair play rules coming in (which will basically entrench their advantage). It sucks balls that UEFA ruined the UEFA Cup of old. It was something worthwhile for clubs like our own to aspire to. Now we just have the embarrassing, second rate, shambolic Europa League. For those that aren't in it, the Champions League has spoilt football massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I'm confident Graham Carr will not find it difficult to replace him. We both doubted him but he's replaced Carroll and Enrique easily enough hasn't he?
