Cheick Tioté (1986-2017)

According to the doom mongers and wrist slitters he was nailed on to go in the summer because we sell all our best players, just like we we certs for relegation just 24 days ago.

Great news and perhaps a timely statement of intent - but bloody hell a new contract after just six months at the club - that says a lot about his importance to the team.

Why have they done it now? Should have waited until the summer.

 

Most contract extensions are actually done around this time. It's dangerous to leave them until the summer, when the player can move clubs if the talks are protracted. There's less pressure from competing offers now.

 

In the past 2 months Barça gave a new deal to Busquets and Bojan and are holding talks with Alves and Pinto. It's really business as usual.

Why?

 

More chance of him being sold in summer, so he could've had a bigger moan. He can't really complain about him signing a new deal, poor lad.

Why? This deal could be an enforcer in the other negotiations. And I'm pretty sure that bids for Tiote will be placed this summer. But now the player has a contract that reflects his importance for the club, which probably mean that he will not hand in a transfer request.  Consequently MA will never sell him, unless an utterly ludicrous sum is offered. IMO Tiote is more important than Carroll. We have already shown that we cope without the latter, but we play shit without the former.

What a stupid question, cue 'throw away/whoosh' comment......did you ask that when Williamson signed a new deal the same year as he signed?

Could have got a much more PL exprienced player for the same amount imo

50k is an outrage if true, 25k at most

 

He's one of the best DM (if not the best DM) in PL. £50 a week is not bad for a player of that class. We've struck gold in Titoe, why can't we applaud the club when they now actually do something positive. He's a core member, and his contract should be accordingly. Giving him peanuts and it will just unsettle him when the "big clubs" come knocking in the summer.

 

And his wages are not that bad, compared to what small and medium clubs are paying mediocre players. Gamst Pedersen earns £55 in blackburn. And Carew netted over £60 in Villa. Tiote is miles ahead of them in quality
