Mick Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 In compensation. And how does that apply to Tiote? Because Tiote is about a million times better than him and Ferguson bought him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 What about Anderson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Not for any significant amount. He was a young player who Ferguson saw potential in. We all know what Tiote can do, and he'd cost a shitload of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 What about Anderson? Cost less than Tiote would, and has far more ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 What about Anderson? Cost less than Tiote would, and has far more ability. No he didn't. Porto announced a fee of €30m which at the time was just over £20m and that was a few years ago now. I'd even question if he's a better player, I've certainly not seen anything like the potential there was at Porto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think Tiote would probably cost more. Anderson is the more technically able player by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Here's the thing. Ignore the cost or perceived ability for a minute and just ask if he would really fit into their midfield? Ferguson hasn't regularly started a player like Tiote since he got rid of Butt. Would he start now? Chelsea maybe. They'd put two creative types in front of him in the center and play a 4-5-1/4-3-3 Man United not so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Tiote might be seen as a liability in Europe since getting booked is easier, and Tiote does accumulate yellows in English footy with ease... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Anyway, bollocks to Man U, he's ours and I'm over the moon about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 He has his worst games for us when we're against weaker teams and are expected to take the game to them. Loses the ball arsing about in midfield when in his role he should be looking to mostly play it quick and simple. He's at his best when the other side has the ball, at which point he's an absolute beast. For Man U that would be a real problem as they're the stronger team in 90% of their games, he'd be wasted there tbh. If he can develop that part of his game then he could be a target for a team like Man U, but he's not quite there yet IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Fergie has had his share of midfield destroyers in the past (Ince and of course a certain Mr Butt), but in the recent half decade he's gone for players who can spread the play first and foremost, with tackling ability/engine being a secondary consideration. So if Fergie did want any of our midfielders, it'd probably be Cabaye. Can imagine the likes of Chelsea ("Makelele role") and Milan (Desailly "heir") being interesting in Tiote though.

Mr. Snrub Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 No chance Ferguson would sign a player as technically limited at Tiote. Especially for what he'd cost. Michael Carrick was near £18m and he is far more 'technically limited' than Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 To celebrate our great start to the season, we should sell him to Man U for £5m - they might not get another opportunity. Great cause and all that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd class Keane in a seperate category as he was an excellent footballer on top of being a great DM so doesn't really fit into the point being made. Also the "past half decade" comment was referring to Fergie's post-Keane midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because the midfield currently give no cover to thier average defence(without Vidic they have been crap this season) he's the exact player United need....... But anyway i couldnt give a s*** what United need they can f*ck off, hes ours and will remain ours..... /discussion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
