So for those who have seen him , how does he match up to Yaya Toure , Essien etc. 

 

Obviously not as good now but does he have the potential to be?

Put it this way

Toure £24M

Essien £24m

Tiote £3.5m

 

Nolan, Barton, Smith, Guthrie, Gosling and now possibly Tiote all vying for two CM roles? Surely at least one of our current midfield plodders must be on their way out of the club. It wouldn’t be Barton (wages + reputation) Smith(wages) Nolan(Goldenboy) or Gosling(injured) so it must be bye-bye Guthrie?

If we can get Tiote and HBA, that's good business

 

Harper

S. Taylor Campbell Will Jose

Routledge Gosling Barton  Guti

Ben Arfa

Carroll

 

Krul- Colo- Raylor- Guthrie- Nolan - Smith-  Lovenkrands-

 

When everyone's fit? i put in Mike because I think he's a better defender at this level

                 

 

 

 

So Tiote would be a waste of money?

 

I forgot him! :facepalm: Editing

If this happens, the Arevalo thread will probably have been a waste of bandwith

It did at least confirm we were after Tiote...

 

Would have been nice if the club had just come out and denied it but then that may have just sparked the fires more.

 

Does make you think that Peruvian bloke was actually telling the truth then for him to mention this.

Yeah does seem to ring true.

 

In which case we were pissing the lad around something chronic

standard default though for many isn't it, if something isn't 100% true or a player isn't world class, slag it/him off as being bullshit/s***.

It could be any of them and I wouldn't give a flying fuck tbh.

To answer your question: he's a brilliant player. Extremely physically strong and remarkably technically gifted for a man with the build of a wrestler. He's only got one problem: discipline. He's always got a moment in a game where he loses it. Definitely good enough for the premiership though.

 

From a Twente fan, he also said this though:

 

Well you've got to pay what Twente wants for him first! Our chairman has a bit of reputation in terms of transfer negotiations. You''ll have to pay full whack (6-8 million) and you have to pay it in one go rather than in annual installments (clubs have tried that with us at which our chairman said: Who do they think we are? A bank?")

 

So maybe it's bollocks.

 

Finally, somewhere it makes sense.

Aye, a payment plan that’s right up Ashley’s street.

Can't see Smith leaving after just being named vice-captain. Not unless we've received a silly bid which is hugely unlikely.

 

More likely that Guthrie is off.

 

To which it's a stupid movie then. Guthrie's our only decent attacking midfielder, and we're replacing him with a DM?!

Isn't Smith pretty much vice captain by default though? Butt was captain last season but I reckon Hughton would have happily fucked him off if anyone came in for him.

 

Hope it's not Guthrie, despite him having a similar engine to a moped he is technically one of our best players.

I dont think it will be Guthrie, he is the stand in RM when Routledge is out!
