Dave Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It's funny how after a few weeks of picking everything up about Ben Arfa from the French press, with our lot days behind the story, the shitty old Daily Mail has broken this first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Simon bird just sent me this: Looks like it. He's here in newcvastle and had medical Why hasn't he put it on his Twitter feed? Bird is the worst Journo this region has tbh. One thing Kinnear was bang on about. I'd love us to get someone a bit more creative now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - oh, £3.5m according to the Mail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Would give us the 7th biggest net spend in the Premier League this decade behind Birmingham, Chelsea, both Manchesters, Stoke & Wolves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malandro Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I wonder if we approached FCT or if the player was waved under our nose by his agent, circa HBA? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Tiote, whoa. Tiote, whoa. He comes from Cote d'Ivoire, He loves Alan Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I wonder if we approached FCT or if the player was waved under our nose by his agent, circa HBA? Think that's a bit of a disservice to Hughton tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I wonder if we approached FCT or if the player was waved under our nose by his agent, circa HBA? Probably so one of our rivals in West Brom couldn't have him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidfieldGeneral Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 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. If he'd came out with that story before we were linked with Tiote in the press then yeah but he started spouting that shite a week after. Is Tiote really that good then ? Will he be our Vieira or another Amdy Faye ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Twente were trying to hold onto as much of the title winning side as possible having lost N'Kufo and Stoch, I highly doubt he was being touted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quichà Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 From a quick look on youtube he looks a pretty good solid player who's definately not affraid to get stuck in. Spot on if its true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
