Optimistic Nut Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 And people had a go at me when I said we shouldn't have rested him end of last season to avoid suspension...idiots. I surely didn't need Aye, the people who wanted him ready for the start of the season could have known this was going to happen while the club coultn't. Honestly, give your head a shake. Surely didn't need a wink there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antec Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Surely there's some way the club could pin the blame for this onto Barton's disruptive influence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Expecting Pards to confirm or deny this in his post match interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 It stands to reason tbh. The only time Tiote can't get booked it's to get a plane home. Club is a complete fucking joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Something else that needs to be considered at this point is his fitness levels, what's he doing in Ghana to tune up for the season, how's he gonna get match fitness. This is a major cock up by the club, something that unfortunately is not uncommon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a major cock up by the club, something that unfortunately is not uncommon. I honestly don't think match fitness or general fitness will be a big issue. He dropped into our team with ease last season. If he arrives back on the morning of the game I'd play him if he was up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Tiote doesn't need a pre-season to be fit Apparently he snapped his spine clean in half last season but has just played through it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitness shouldn't be an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Tiote having to wrestle him for food every mealtime, like? I jest. Seriously, Tiote is the one player in our squad I'd be least worried about in terms of fitness due to something like this. He's a beast. As TRon says, he has been undertaking his own programme in Ghana anyway, so match practice would be the major concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
