Ronaldo Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 He said he was very pleased with Sissoko too and wouldn't let him leave right at the end of the transfer window. A manager has to play a little liar's poker at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Would be pointless to come out and slag him off when we could still need him, not to mention still get a fee for him in Jan. Still think he can do a job for us personally, but everyone's suddenly decided to hate him based on rumours that hes a bad egg in the dressing room, definitely time for him to move on at the end of the season or in Jan but he was good at the end of last season under Rafa and could do a job in the middle still.

A manager has to play a little liar's poker at times. Well yeah, and he didn't let him leave until we got the price we wanted which is way more than most people on here thought he was worth. Rafa's pretty straight talking like, I tend to just go along with what he says rather than believe all the silly rumours on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I guess if you're trying to sell him, slating his attitude won't help. He's probably still just being a dick. He's not trying to sell him, it's Tiote who has been angling for a big money move. As for him being a dick, Rafa's said quite clearly in that interview that he's pleased with him and that he'll be involved again if he's still here when the window closes. You've just described exactly what I meant "Rafa sed he's puwa mint like" of course he bloody did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Very odd to put him back in. Colback's been less tragic, of late, and would surely have been the better bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Very odd to put him back in. Colback's been less tragic, of late, and would surely have been the better bet. I can see why he put him back in, had he played like he can do then he would have taken charge of that midfield, unfortunately though he went in with his bull in a china shop mentality and was lucky to have not given away a penalty. He either takes control of midfield or he's a liability, there is no in between with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 He always looks rusty when he first gets back in the side, then generally gets better with a couple of games under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He's a much better option than Colback, if we can get him match fit and focused. One injury to Hayden and Colback will be a regular in the side. Hope Tiote stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I particularly liked when he attempted to tackle one of their lads on our left touchline with his head. Such a weird approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather Colback than Tiote tbf. I know you would prefer Colback, which is why I'm interested to see how this pans out with Rafa as I don't think Colback is physically capable of playing a central midfield role, whereas Tiote is when he can be arsed. Colback is like a little yorkshire terrier trotting around a park full of dobermans and rottweilers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
