mighty__mag Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just out of interest, will we get any money for Tiote during this window if he leaves? With all this haggling over 2m loan fees for Townsend, wondered if Tiote would generate some cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The point is, Tiote was rated highly at one point after he had a great season and he was handed a new contract to either ward off interest from other clubs or bump up his fee if we did sell. It wasn't that long ago so not that hard for most people to work out for themselves which version of history is more likely to be accurate. Probably not the version suggesting that SAF, who rarely favoured a DM anyway, wanted to sign Cheick fucking Tiote. Apart from Paul McGrath and Nicky Butt aye I guess you have a point. When was Paul McGrath a midfielder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Should change his username to WRong. Though according to Wiki he started as a midfielder so maybe not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 wait, are people trying to say tiote wasn't handed a contract because he'd had a period playing well? the level of actual interest we'll never know but at the time there were certainly rumours we'd be getting a big bid in for him and they improved his contract because he presumably came over on pennies from holland why is that even an argument? EDIT: why was he given a new contract then, shits and giggles? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked McGrath as a player, shame about him liking the drink too much, otherwise he was class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Another reason why I dislike Man Utd. Few African players. Man, that's why I was so excited about the Obi Mikel signing for them. Ferguson must have really liked him. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It is possible that they have a numbers limit in the squad. One in, one out or whatever. Perhaps we are signing a centre mid replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Would be delighted with him leaving if we were bringing in another CM to replace him with, now we're even shorter in our weakest area of the pitch ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I don't think we're any shorter really, Tiote not being available doesn't make any practical difference. I would rather pick someone like Barlaser anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
