Tiote showing a different quality.

Both could be worth around 30m by the end of the season IMO.

 

Maybe around £20m for other teams, but for us definitely.

 

All of Tiote's assists for us have been REALLY similar.

 

He's not a particularly creative player and I'd bet wont get more than 5 assists. He's a good passer and can put the ball in the box better than a few of our wingers unfortunately , he's also something like 5th choice on free kicks.

 

Right footed crosses from the left, hope Jonas was watching

 

I don't care how creative he is, we have Cabaye to take care of the beautiful, creative football. He's nails, that's why I love him!

 

Hopefully, but if Shola or Lover were on the pitch () I think they'd want to take it as well.

 

Xavi and Iniesta?

 

Decent cover

 

To be fair Smudger, as awful as he is, Shola is actually quite good at penalties!

 

Then all we need is Messi to cover Ben Arfa and Ronaldo to cover Obertan

 

Shola is like a penalty God, he has to take them if he's on the pitch.

 

He puts every single one in the same place

Havent seen him miss though to be fair, my yikes smiley was more in reference to the possibility him being on the pitch.

 

Its thanks to the fact he's now playing along side a central midfielder who can play the holding role as well as attack so they both take it in turns to attack, which is good cause going forward they both offer something different, whilst Tiote delivers decent crosses into the box, Cabaye has such good vision to pick passes through defences, that ball to Leon Best against Blackburn was class!

 

I guess you could also add he's creative by not hoofing the ball when he wins the ball in a challenge; he always looks for the right pass.

 

He does that, but if it goes in I don't mind! Although if Shola scores a penalty there's one fundamental issue. He's playing.

 

Tiote is NOT a creative player, I remember your argument last season trying to say Tiote was creative because he can dribble and because he can pass relatively well in close quarters.

A couple of good crosses into the box doesnt automatically mean Tiote is a really creative player, if Krul puts a couple of good goal kicks into the box that we score from does that mean hes a creative player?

Hes a very good defensive midfield player whos put a couple of nice crosses into the box.

 

dont think we need you to tell us what we already know tash

 

Tiote only ever does Epic improvements

 

Tiote - destructive player who is there to break up the other teams possession, with a creative edge to his game. Keeps the ball well for the team and never panics on the ball. To sum him up he is where alot of our attacks start and where alot of the oppositions end.
