tbh I'll be pissed if we buy Tiote for £3.5 Million but didn't want to fork out £5m-ish for Ben Arfa when we need a creative attacking midfielder A LOT more than a defensive one.

 

Other than that I'm happy we're signing someone, of course. :lol:

 

This.

Give them a chance...

He was the one who nailed Elano in the WC

 

Type his name in the video website and there is a vid on him!

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

 

Harper

S. Taylor Campbell Will Jose

Routledge Tiote Barton/Gosling  Guti

Ben Arfa

Carroll

 

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

 

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

Can't see us buying 2 midfielders along with Gosling. If we sign this guy, I can't see us signing Ben Arfa

 

Ben Arfa is more of an attacker though isn't he? Plays wide or off the striker I think.

So Tiote would be a waste of money?

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.
