Rummour has it.

[barnaby]

Don't have Twitter but my kids have told me a rummour going around about Tiote to Chelsea and us getting Sturridge and cash.

Would love Sturridge but dont want to lose Tiote.

 

[Minty Fresh]

Would rather have Tiote than Sturridge.

 

[All Hail Ben Arfa]

Would rather have Tiote than Sturridge.

This. Tiote is a vital part of our midfield, and we can get another decent striker, but there aren't many Tiote-esque midfielders around

 

[Nobbys Trumpet]

Sturridge + £16m and I might consider it. However Sturridge would be on too much money to come here anyways. So pretty bullshit I would say.

 

[barnaby]

With Essien's injury this rummour was bound to do the rounds.

Like I said I would love Sturridge but not with Tiote going the other way to Stamford Bridge.

 

[The Armband]

The extent of essien's injury is still not yet known so I doubt there's anything in that. I can't see them forking out for tiote eitherway though

 

[Ben14]

Playing devils advocate I would say that it is harder to buy a goalscorer than a defensive midfielder. Although I love Tiote I do think Sturridge is the best young talent in the country. Look how hard we have found it so far getting one striker in.

Rumour has it Ashley is selling up.

 

[HowayTheLads]

Rumour has it rumour is only spelt with one m.

 

[Rafa's Championship Party]

Rumour has it Ashley is selling up.

Hope so, sick of him ruining this football club. If that Tiote rumour is true I see mass protests again.

Hope so

Rumour has it rumour is only spelt with one m.

Spelling was never my strong point.

Would anyone take Mikel from Chelsea?

 

[Darth Gogledd]

Would anyone take Mikel from Chelsea?

No.

Possibly if we got Sturridge and Mikel plus £15mill or so, but:

1. Chelsea won't give us that much cash
2. Chelsea won't let Sturridge go
3. Tiote won't leave
4. Sturrdige and Mikel would have too high wages.

So all in all, NO!!!

 

[Smudger]

Would anyone take Mikel from Chelsea?

Not to replace Tiote. He's fine as cover/competition but he'll be on silly wages coming from Chelsea.

 

[HowayTheLads]

As soon as I saw that Essien was potentially out for the season (career ending injury?) I guessed Tiote would become a target for Chelsea - well at least in the media. I am confident though that he'll still be with us next season.

I knew they would as well, very easy and believable rumour to make up. He is untouchable right now, we shouldnt even be thinking about selling.

Off topic but Pardew is at the grand prix today so probaly no transfer news today.

Newcastle United have added German striker Sebastian Vettel after the club and Red Bull FC agreed a fee. Vettel will join subject to a medical.

Something like that possibly...?

 

[Oh Titus She Said No]

£20m + Sturridge and i'd take it IF the £20m was spent on transfers as well as the other money we have

Thought we were tipped to complete a deal for Webber?
