Guest Heneage Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 tbh I'll be pissed if we buy Tiote for £3.5 Million but didn't want to fork out £5m-ish for Ben Arfa when we need a creative attacking midfielder A LOT more than a defensive one. Other than that I'm happy we're signing someone, of course. This. Give them a chance... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So for those who have seen him , how does he match up to Yaya Toure , Essien etc. Obviously not as good now but does he have the potential to be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 If this happens, the Arevalo thread will probably have been a waste of bandwith It did at least confirm we were after Tiote... Would have been nice if the club had just come out and denied it but then that may have just sparked the fires more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 tbh, who would take smith from us? tiote would be a lovely transfer, although i share kaiz's sentiments....i'd rather ben arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Can't see us buying 2 midfielders along with Gosling. If we sign this guy, I can't see us signing Ben Arfa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Would be a very good signing, hopefully we can get Ben Arfa aswell and I'll be a lot happier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andrew Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 If we can get Tiote and HBA, that's good business Harper S. Taylor Campbell Will Jose Routledge Tiote Barton/Gosling Guti Ben Arfa Carroll Krul- Colo- Raylor- Guthrie- Gosling - Smith/Nolan- Lovenkrands- When everyone's fit? i put in Mike because I think he's a better defender at this level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 To answer your question: he's a brilliant player. Extremely physically strong and remarkably technically gifted for a man with the build of a wrestler. He's only got one problem: discipline. He's always got a moment in a game where he loses it. Definitely good enough for the premiership though. From a Twente fan, he also said this though: Well you've got to pay what Twente wants for him first! Our chairman has a bit of reputation in terms of transfer negotiations. You''ll have to pay full whack (6-8 million) and you have to pay it in one go rather than in annual installments (clubs have tried that with us at which our chairman said: Who do they think we are? A bank?") So maybe it's bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
