nufc4eva Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Had the type of game he's capable of where he dominates midfield. He battered them at times. Best when asked to play simple. He will hump the little chinese kids Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He was pretty good but this is the exact sort of game he's usually decent in. I'd keep him until the Summer, tbh, he's a useful player to have around while others bed in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He was pretty good but this is the exact sort of game he's usually decent in. I'd keep him until the Summer, tbh, he's a useful player to have around while others bed in. It won't happen but this. Quite a risk depending in Saivet to come in and perform straight away, or even worse, having to rely on one of the chuckle brothers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leek Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Tbh I dont think we should really be selling him in our position atm, 8 million if we're sat mid table I'd snap your hand off but to potentially have Anita/Colback sitting in front of the defence for us for the rest of the season when in fact we could of had Tiote there just seems stupid.

Pata Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 No point selling in this situation but he probably wants to go himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Kind of sucks that we sell Tiote as soon as he seems like a decently usable player today. But all good, Saivet needs to step in and be the DM now. the lad has virtually been injured for a year so would have been hard to sell him earlier :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah he's only played like twice and been our best midfiledr this season. Good to have as an option Midfiledr should be a real word Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gomez Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Just watched the youtube video that's banned from being posted of him against Man u 4 years ago. Got all nostalgic about how imposing and Mohawky he was. Also how we're -3 goals against on that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Some quality defensive work. Still a mare when attempting to hit it over 5 yards, but overall a canny performance. He hit a lot of long passes very successfully if you actually watched the game. Just got back from the match. Untwist your knickers, soft tart. When I say piss off it's not necessarily]y directed at you btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 One of the main reasons we are in the position we are is due to an incredibly light squad that is devoid of depth and competition. Personally I would keep him until the summer. No guarantee that either of the new players will hit the ground running. We need cover and I would sooner have him in the squad than Colback right now.

hakka Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Annoying that he's returned to a couple of games of the old Tiote right at the point where I was desperate to get him sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Never as bad as previously made out imo. Always a player to take responsibility. These injuries over the last few years have been bad though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Was absolutely class for his first 12-18 months. I remember his debut at Everton and being beaten to the MOTM award by HBA. Somewhere along the line. He started getting constant injuries, he looked to have put a bit of timber on and his form nosedived. Teams figured out his little pirouette routine and he stopped playing so disciplined. I mean positionally, of course. He'll never learn to not pick up cheap cards and I can kind of accept a lot of them, due to the position he plays. He's almost always looked good against the bigger teams, TBF. Suits his game and you realise how important he is. In home games against 'lesser' sides, he often tried to overplay and he was completely redundant. May have been something to do with Pardew wanting him to be 'our Michael Essien' I wouldn't be against keeping him, if he wasn't in and out the team with injuries and if it wasn't for the fact we've just signed two centre mids. In an ideal world, Colback and Anita would be gone before him, but that won't happen. For a start, someone would actually need to be interested in buying them. It looks like it's farewell, Cheiky.

St1pe Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Jesus I forgot about that Essien comment. He was colossal last night though. That's exactly the sort of dominant defensive displayed we've lacked in the centre of the pitch. If Shelvey could replicate the form he's showed in the past those two could have made an impressive partnership. I'll be sorry to see him go despite two poor seasons.

Newcastle Fan Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He's actually a midfielder who does a job on the pitch, unlike Anita and Colback who run around like little kids with no impact in attack of defense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He was shit for a very long time. Still, a likeable enough character who showed grit and determination alongside the odd great performance. Godspeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Never hit the heights we all thought he might, but personally, I'll always have fond memories of him for the goal against Arsenal and his debut at Goodison. Would I rather we kept him until the summer? Yes Am I gutted to see him leave? No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He's continued to be made to look good by the midget wonder pairing of Colback and Anita. Hopefully now we will get to see some proper midfielders which will allow us to move Tiote on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
