Disco Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 So happy we finally have a player like him. We've only been waiting about 10 years man. Scott Parker? Always thought he was pretty good for you in that role. He was in his first season, not so much afterwards and then the fans turned on him and vice versa.

themanupstairs Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 On the subject of his name, I believe his first name is the "french" spelling of Sheikh, which can mean Prince. Prince Ismael Tiote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think you're all forgetting the distructor that was Amdy Faye, probably by choice. Can't imagine his % of successful passes and tackles. 20%? Fucking horrible player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I thought Faye was a cut above during his spell with us to be honest. A.D Faye was a very good defender for us. Amdy Faye, on the other hand, is one of the worst players I have ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 For the record I was taking the piss But seeing as Amdy Faye has been brought into the mix, I don't think i've felt much more hate for a footballer in my life than his goal celebration against us when he made it 2-2 a couple years back. Was competely unnecesary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/8400746.Everton_0_Newcastle_1/ While Ben Arfa’s move to Tyneside was a drawn-out, public affair, fellow midfielder Cheik Tiote might as well have slipped through the back door at St James’ Park, such was the unheralded nature of his arrival. Yet on the evidence of Saturday’s success, the Ivory Coast international could be every bit as influential as his more celebrated team-mate. Stationed in front of the back four, Tiote broke up a succession of Everton attacks with some astute positioning, well-timed tackling and diligent tracking back. Signed from FC Twente for around £3m, the 24- year-old, who appeared in this summer’s World Cup finals in South Africa, should add some much-needed zest to the base of the Magpies midfield. “We were first aware of him quite some time ago,” said Hughton. “If anything, he’s been the longest, most drawnout pursuit and the player we really wanted to get. He’s a player I identified quite some time ago and fortunately for us, we were able to keep most of the deal very quiet and let it slip under the radar. “I spoke to (former FC Twente boss) Steve McClaren about him and the reports were positive. It’s important not to forget he’s a full international player who featured in the World Cup. He adds great experience to our team.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
