Tiote or Colback?

Post by Bruuuuuuuuce () » Wed Jan 18, 2017 9:57 pm

Constant talk that Tiote is off but would we be better off keeping him and getting rid of Colback?

Tiote's value has been tanking for years, and at this point he probably doesn't hold any at all with his contract running down. Neither player plays the role we've been missing and should replace as soon as possible, which is a playmaking CM, so regardless of whether we sell either we should bring in a CM if one is available. We probably could use at least one of them as a backup CDM to finish out the season, but at this point I don't care which one.

Both absolute liabilities. Both have been s**** for years. Anyone know when their contracts are due to expire? They haven't got long left surely....

Yeah we really should have sold Tiote like 2 seasons ago and we never should have signed Colback, just something about Colback infuriates me when hes on the pitch hes just so useless

To be fair to the club, they've been trying to sell him for years, and multiple times agreed fees with clubs only to have the deal fall through once he'd arrived to meet and negotiate with them.

And created our winner at the weekend. He's a perfectly good squad player at this level.

It's a shame to see how far tiote has fallen, he used to be such a beast especially with his Cabaye partnership.

A lot of injuries. A lack of match fitness. A playing style that takes a toll on the body and requires being in peak condition. Few good CM partners over the past years. And the knowledge that the club has viewed him as surplus for years.
