Optimistic Nut Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 £27m & Sturridge for Tiote? Don't think I'd take that to be honest. Hmm, as much as I love Tiote, I think I would tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 £27m & Sturridge for Tiote? Don't think I'd take that to be honest. Of course not. I'd rather had Andy Carroll than 35 mio. I'd rather still have Tiote than having 27 mio. Would be much different if we really 'spent' that money on new players and not just on new vending machines or tactic boards which nobody will ever see.

My reasoning would be that all we would be getting, in affect, is Sturridge for Tiote. Who knows where the 27m would go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 £27m & Sturridge for Tiote? Definitely not. We're fucking lucky to have someone as good as Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, you think you'd take it? So 27m and Sturridge is 10m too much for Modric yet you only "think" you'd accept 27m and sturridge for Tiote? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I wouldn't take any price for any player, we know it isn't getting spent on a replacement, so why bother? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 so to summarise.. You'd "snap their hands off" if it's 27m and sturridge for Modric but you'd "think" you would take the same amount for Tiote, meaning you have to think long and hard. Am i right?

You're liable to reinvest the money straight back into the team and squad, we're not. I think that's the point that is being made. If we were guarenteed to reinvest I'd snap their hands off that.

Completely different situations. We need Tiote more than you need Modric, and you're more likely to take that money and replace him properly, whilst we are less likely to.

Guest Heneage Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 so to summarise.. You'd "snap their hands off" if it's 27m and sturridge for Modric but you'd "think" you would take the same amount for Tiote, meaning you have to think long and hard. Am i right? It's all about importance to the side and likelihood of reinvestment. Folk aren't saying Modric is worth it but Tiote isn't they are saying to us a club it's not worth it because the owner wouldn't reinvest like Spurs would with the Modric money. Surely you'd be the same if Levy said 'We are accepting this deal as we have adequate cover for him already'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost certainly sure Optimistic nut wasn't thinking about reinvestment otherwise why accept 27m and Sturridge when you might as well take Sturridge in a swap deal and tell Chelsea to keep the cash. No doubt he'll say something different though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 btw i get what people are saying and i'd more then likely think the same if i was a Newcastle fan. What i'm saying is that it's pretty damn obvious Optimistic wasn't thinking about reinvestment whilst making his point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sell Modric, it's certain Redknapp will spend the money on a replacement. If we sell Tiote, it's not certain Pardew will get the money on a replacement...it's a gamble. Simple.

Disco Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 If Spurs do sell Modric do you think they'd replace him directly or use the money to buy a big name striker & maybe drop vdV back into the Modric role? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 If Spurs do sell Modric do you think they'd replace him directly or use the money to buy a big name striker & maybe drop vdV back into the Modric role? Think it would make more sense for them to bring in another striker and go with two up top, they relied to heavily on VDV scoring from an advanced role last season.

Zero Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Playing VDV with only one centre midfielder is kinda suiciding imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With £27m I think you can be confident Harry would spend it wisely and buy someone of good calibre to replace him, with us, a) It's highly unlikely we'd spend that cash. b) Would we sign someone anywhere near Tiote's ability?

Him and Sandro could be ok though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
