If you had to choose one...

Wind the clock back and lets imagine that Ashley thought to himself that he was definately going to flog either Carroll or Tiote for big money. Regardless of the circumstance he wanted one sold and a big wedge of cash coming in.

Is there anyone that would rather have sold Tiote than Carroll?

Out of the two it's no contest for me. I'd rather have Tiote in the team. Carroll is replacable, Tiote would be hugely difficult to replace. Tiote is also far more appreciative of what he's got, Carroll is another young player that let's their ego rule them and have probably had few real worries in their life. Carroll is out for personal gain and glory, Tiote wants to do it for the team, the fans and his family.

If Carroll having gone means we can rebuff big offers for Tiote, then so-be-it.

 

Me.

 

I'd keep Tiote every time. Carroll had a few run-ins with the law, proved he's not loyal and seems the type of person who would have demanded massive wages in the future. Tiote is a class act.

 

Tiote!

Tiote is better and doing his stuff then Carroll is at his stuff

When you're facing a route, and you're 30 yards out, Cheick Tiote!
From the Ivory Coast, squeezed just inside the post, Cheick Tiote!
He left Cesc Fabregas, lying flat on his ass, Cheick Tiote!
When we made it 4-3, he said leave it to me, Cheick Tiote!

 

I'm over Carroll now, what a prick. Tiote every time, what a player!

 

I'll be honest and say i'd rather have Tiote go, but now i wouldn't go back and change it so Carroll didn't hand in a transfer request and stayed instead of Tiote. It's all clear now. There is only one Tiote.

Tiote is class because he is Tiote. Fact. Tiote's haircut is now copyrighted. Beware Mr T!!

 

Carroll is a good forward but not crucial to the way our team works. Tiote allows us to absolutely control the middle of the park. Last season, one thing we were missing was good defence in the middle. Smith always threw himself into challenges and Butt was too slow. Tiote is the blood of our team.

 

lulz wot? im sorry just coz we hate carroll now does that mean we have to be silly? the amount of goals carroll got and wud of got wud out weigh the amount tiote would prevent, easily

 

Cheick mate

 

After yesterday, I'd rather have Tiote.

Im happy in saying he's one of the best CM's in the league.
