Unbelievable Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Dutch media NOS (like our BBC) report the transfer fee as 8 million euros. Seen much of him mate? Yep. Excellent addition to our squad. Care to compile a short overview on his strengths and weaknesses? Pretty please. Ok, here's what I know. Twente used him as a sort of 12th man last season in their championship season, meaning he was not a starter in most of their matches, but was often brought on to consolidate a small lead into a secured win or to impose more dominance in their midfield. He is very highly though off, and Twente fans consider him a very important figure in their surprise succeeded championship challenge last season. As you would expect, he is a very physically imposing midfielder, who is stronger in the defensive tasks than in attack. Twente fans sometimes criticize his tendency to walk with the ball rather than play it around quickly, but seeing as he is so strong on the ball he still very rarely loses it without a foul being made on him. From what I've seen personally he is much better with the ball than our current crop, although he is not one for killer passes or scoring many goals. If we use him to his strengths, sitting in front of the defense and let him win the ball and lay it off to some of our more creative (!) players he will be a very good addition for us. He has the physical attributes and the talent to succeed in the Premiership, that's for sure.. Reading back, I wasn't far off when I told you what I knew/thought of the player back when we were signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 And, for the record, I've held my hands up when wrong. Andy Carroll is the best example of that. I tell you what you definitely lack, a sense of when you're being teased Wasn't serious at all Ron lad I know brother, but TRon was, little bugger that he is.

LRD Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Reading back, I wasn't far off when I told you what I knew/thought of the player back when we were signing him. Shame we won't get to assess your observations on the other Twente guy. Just remembered de Jong was from Twente too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 FABRICIO Coloccini and Cheik Tiote are back in training ahead of Newcastle United’s visit to White Hart Lane. Coloccini has missed the club’s last four games with a groin problem. But United’s captain is ready to return for Sunday’s televised game against Tottenham Hotspur. And midfielder Cheik Tiote – who limped out of last weekend’s win over Chelsea – is also available for selection. “Colo’s trained the last two or three days, and is OK,” said Pardew today. “Cheik is good. He’s in great form at the moment, and it’s important that he is available.” Meanwhile, defender Steven Taylor (hamstring) is pencilled in to return against Norwich City on November 23. Pardew said: “He should be OK after the international break.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 He looks like he's enjoying his football again. Plus the arm band and maybe some maturing on his part? I'm personally still not a huge fan and still waiting for the expected implosion but I have to admit he has been much.much improved............he was feckin coming from a long way down mind. Hope it continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I interpreted the title as Tiote is available for spurs. . . to buy, no-one else or am I just paranoid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Probably means "available" for a transfer to Spurs. Genuinely what I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 With the correct management Tiote can still be a cracking player. How hard is it to instruct him to win the ball and move it on, and give him a bollocking if he tries to dribble it past 4 players and run it out of our own half. Just thought I'd do some needless bragging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Been one of the more influential players for us the past few weeks. The return to his 2011/12 form has been huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 One really bad pass but he positioned himself to block the Spurs pass and win it back. Love this Tiote, shoes are good for walking but make a shit meal. Tiote should remain a shoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 His game is so much simpler now. Yep. But made some silly and lacidaisical passes in the middle of the pitch that could have been costly. Captain's armband has transformed the man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
