Punk77 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Great news that he's signed on and wants to be here. The worry is that if someone comes offering daft money for him in the summer, we know what Ashley will do. But that's the difference. He will only be sold for silly money (£40-50). And Tiote is now settled. It's much worse to fend of interest when the player is on a shit contract. That will only induce him to hand in a transfer request. And then we're fucked.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Great news that he's signed on and wants to be here. The worry is that if someone comes offering daft money for him in the summer, we know what Ashley will do. Difference now being he's just had another £8-10m put onto any potential fee, and clubs who might have been thinking, "He's not on much at Newcastle, could probably get him for £40-50k a week", will now have to pay him top dollar in the £70-80k bracket. This contract has pretty much increased the chances of keeping him long term by 60-70%. If someone after that still bids £20m and mega wages, then again, with Carroll, it might be too much to turn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mantis Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Delighted he has signed, nice to know we have him next season. There will have been an element of this being a chance to increase the sell on trigger so we didn't have to listen to offers over say 7m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad is adored by the fans, and is pivotal on the pitch. And the only way MA will get acceptance for selling Tiote, is if the offer is too good to refuse. And £20 is not enough. It must be around the sum of Carroll I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Sure, let's all get really excited about a key player, arguably our best signing a long-term contract. He's going to be here until he is 30!!! Andy Carroll signed a 5 year contract in October 2010. He was sold in January 2011. Contracts mean fuck all in the modern game.

Benwell Lad Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Why have they done it now? Should have waited until the summer. Why? Because Colo is never happy with what Mike Ashely does. Putting a negative spin on one of our best players signing a new extended contract takes a bit of doing, but it is seemingly possible. Ah well we'll just have to wait for a £35M bid to come in now........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but because he signed that contract we got 35 chuffin million, at the end of the day the club has moved to protect an asset. If he goes now we'll get a massive chunk of cash, if he stays we have a player who could go onto greatness. Either way we win and are in a better position now than we were yesterday. Cheer up.

Every club accepts daft money for its players for fucks sake, it wasnt invented by Mike fucking Ashley.

Dave Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It's true that a new contract doesn't mean we can't or won't sell anyone, but if you can't take the positives from news like this then you might as well pack in because NUFC genuinely has nothing for you.

Kevo Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Great news to wake up to. Why people being so negative? What the hell does MA need to do to make everyone happy? (don't say f*ck off). This shows we are not a selling club. Carroll went because he was being a greedy c*nt and the club had already given him a new deal yet wanted another 2 months later, also the fact that Liverpool paid way way wayyyyy over the odds. Booo hooo, i'd have sold him as well if I owned the club. This new deal could mean three things: 1) We can keep other good players such as Barton and Enrique as well as showing Ben Arfa we are going to be ambitious. 2) We can show any new signings that this club is going places as we're (presuming Jose and Barton sign) giving all our quality players a new deal. We want to challenge for top 7. 3) If anyone wants Tiote, the fee has just been put up to at least £20 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Could have got a much more PL exprienced player for the same amount imo 50k is an outrage if true, 25k at most Tiote is by far and away the most important player in our team. We're still scoring goals without Carroll, but without Tiote we have absolutely no dynamism, no mobility, no athleticism, no bite, no channelled aggression, no foil for our more 'creative' players, and we're a million times better with him in our team. Big statement considering he's only been here 6 months, but I think he's the best player of his type I've ever seen at Newcastle. Imagine him and Rob Lee circa 1993 in the same midfield together.................I just came Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they mean fuck all, then why does it matter whether he gets offered one now or in the summer? By the time summer comes, the likes of Man City and Chelsea won't give a fuck that he signed a contract in February, as we saw with Carroll/Liverpool. At least if it was offered May/June it would have signalled that he was not available under any circumstances during that window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
