Dave Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If we get more than £10m for Tiote we should sell An on form Tiote makes us a much much better team and personally i am really looking forward to seeing Tiote, Cabaye and Sissoko as a midfield, certainly wouldn't want to sell him. Yes he hasn't had the best of seasons so far but he is a quality player. Completely agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He'll get better than he has been lately, we need a squad and not just 11 players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of his problem this season, apart from the lack of match fitness due to injury and suspension when he has played i think he has been trying too hard and with Cabaye missing he has ended up trying to be the playmaker instead of the destroyer.

SAK Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 No thanks, injury prone, not a great goal scoring record, not the type of player that would fit in with the type of football we want to play ie on the deck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm almost certain that I read last night that West Ham had agreed to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I would still take him back for the right price, which now I reckon is probably down to around 7 or 8 million. Would be useful as the "Shola option" without actually having to use Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm almost certain that I read last night that West Ham had agreed to sign him. they have a purchase clause for £17m (17m ), whether they use it or not (they won't) is optional as far as I know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midstoon Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 so were looking for a pacey mobile striker!! so lets sign a striker thats so slow he actually travels back in time when he moves! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 For 7-8m I'd have him back. Just on my instinct, certainly not based on the previous 2 years. Mind you, I doubt his wages are desirable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Happy to take him as back up/another option to Cisse. We'd still need a wide striker type to play on the left though. That should be a replacement in terms of squad numbers and salary for Jonas though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not so much the press, but I spoke to my brother in law (who is a FC Twente fan with good connections in Twente business circles) yesterday and he mentioned that the fact there has been absolutely no interest/movement regarding Douglas this past January is to do with the fact when he first moved to Europe he signed a contract with no less than seven representatives, who are all in for a piece of the pie on his next move. Apparently when his contract with FC Twente expires in the summer, so does this contractual obligation. The contract with his seven representatives is also the reason why Twente have not wanted to sell him this January as a large portion of any transfer fee would go to his agents. Twente would ideally want to offer him a new contract in the summer (without the seven agent stuff), but of course Douglas will be free to look elsewhere too. I expect a large number of clubs, us included, will have pencilled the end date of his contract with those agents as a date to give him a call.

taxfree Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I've always liked/wanted Carroll back. Not on the expense of a striker like Aubameyang though. And also not for anything over £7-8m. Which in turn makes it a no go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
