    Nah, Spurs want 14 mio for Townsend..that's at least 4 mio too much. Maybe 12 in january is not too much but 14 is definitely too much..for a player who hasn't really played this season. Phillips from QPR for me. He looked good, strong last season. I'd rather have him over Townsend, for 8-11 mio.

    Well I don't mind him staying. I'm with JPF, easy going either way. He is better than Colback though so if he stays and plays with Shelvey then we improve. Got to be a good thing. Not sure where Saivet fits in though? We have already told him he will be playing DM??

    I agree, but what I meant is that we shouldn't allow our long term plans to be derailed. If Steve knows that he is going in the Summer and had already planned to integrate Saivet into the team (for example) then Tiote staying should not get in the way of this happening. It's not meant as an anti-Tiote statement as he had looked like he was coming back into some good form. We should use him if it suits us, rather than if it suits the player.
