    For Tiote -

    Love this bloke. He's a ****ing monster. Big, strong, fantastic vision and passing, great long shotter, can help defend against physical opponents and set plays with height and strength. He's not as quick as Tiote, but makes up for that with even better strength and balance.

    He'd be perfect for the defensive midfield role, and can offer creativity and goals. His long passes and long shots are ****ing brilliant.

    He doesn't get into the Spurs set up way too much. Parker is above him in the pecking order.

    If we sell Tiote, Huddlestone would be worth paying the cash for.

    For Ba -

    Ya Konan is an Ivorian striker. He's quick, skillful, great finisher. A bit of a mix between Ba and Tiote. Would fit into our team very well IMO.

    Giroud. Not the quickest striker, but a ****ing tank and beast in the air.

    Blaise Matuidi and Dusan Tadic or Adam Johnson... but I'd rather keep our 2.

    I think Tiote will stay as he is a cult figure and loves it up here.

    Ba though.... I can see him going... but nevermind, Cisse is the man and we should select his partner based on his needs as our number 9.

    He loves it up here? I've got a feeling that he'll love it even more in london when hes on double the wages he is now.

    Hope he stays, dont think he will.

    I think we need to be concius of Cabaye as well, Ferguson needs a good CM and Tiote and Cabaye would both fit in nicely!

    I'm sorry if Tiote goes i can see Diame from Wigan coming in for free.
    and if Ba goes i personally think he'll stay, but if he leaves i can see us bringing in Sturridge providing we get into Europe! :D

    Hate all the doom and gloom that's about. Why can't we just keep looking on the bright side and upwards and onwards.

    The guys might want to finish what they've started and stay with us till the end.

    I'd love to see Huddlestone come in, but to play alongside Tiote

    Krul
    Debuchy Saylor Colo Santon
    Huddlestone Tiote

    If you're looking for like for like replacements Huddlestone is a terrible idea. He's a good player but couldn't even nearly do the role Tiote does

    Yeah I think if Tiote goes we'll end up going in for Diame, he is a class player. We need to be looking at another striker if Ba goes or not IMO, but I'd like to see us persevere with the 4-3-3 and buy a powerful winger for that left hand side. Tough ask for the club, anyone know any pacey yet strong attacking left wingers?

    It's not just Ba and Tiote I'd be concerned about leaving.

    Let's just use the £50m we get from Liverpool for Xisco and Ranger to bring in Johnson, Huddlestone, Giroud, Peiters, Douglas and Diame. <ok>

    They're all staying so it matters not. But I defo would not want Huddlestone. For a guy of that size, the kid is an absolute pussy! Good passer of the ball but there is a good reason Spurs had to go and get Parker to solve their defensive midfield problem.
