Interpolic Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'd be happy to see him go if whatever we got for him was reinvested in the team, which is unlikely to be the case. You'll never get anywhere with midfielders total unable to contribute to the attacking aspect of the game. I dunno That Man City team did ok with Fernandinho last year and they've just bought Fernando who's main job seems to be run around and kick people too. Oh and didn't Real win the CL playing Pepe in midfield last year? Can't remember him dictating play, his job is simply win the ball back and give it to someone who can play. Those teams play more than 1 player who is allowed in the opposition's third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernandinho is a great box-to-box midfielder. Certainly not just a destroyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Madrid's standard midfield last season was Alonso, Modric and Di Maria. Just a little bit more offensively capable than Tiote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Stu's reply still cracks me up: The only thing that worries me about him is he has a very limited range of passing. I've yet to really see him even try to hit a pass more than 10 yards. Don't get me wrong, I echo what everyone else says about him being a very good player and a bargain at the price, but I don't think he's got much creativity in his locker. And yes, I know he's not been brought in to ping 70 yard balls across field, I just think it'd make him an even better player if he had a wider range of passing. Just bought a new pair of shoes, really comfy and get my feet dry. Just a bit worried that they won't clean my carpet for me Had his moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 One thing I notice about Tiote is that, even though he is a very limited passer, he looks for and demands the ball an awful lot. It's an admirable trait to try and get on the ball as much as possible and not to let a game pass you by but it generally doesn't do any good because he passes backwards or sideways nearly every time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Would be sad to see Tiote go. Seems to really care about the club which is rare with the current lot. We really miss him in games he doesn't play as well due to how negatively we're set up we need someone who can actually win the ball back which can't be said about nearly all our midfielders.

olliemort Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I would be sad to see him go more because of his passion and personality than what he gives to the team ( although I think the criticsm he gets here sometimes is a bit ott) If we get a replacement in with a bit more creativity than ok otherwise I woukd rather see him stay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
