So do tell why he chose them over us. No idea mate, but we were in for him so we ARE looking abroad...

What i mean mate is Tevez becomes available Stoke say yes he's a player we'd love along with a few other clubs,does that mean we are in for him? We could well say we are,now if we could afford him is a different subject entirely.

It wasn't something that was said by the club after the event, at the time it was Newcastle, Fulham, Blackburn and us all interested...

from what I've seen, that Tiote has been a bargain. He holds their midfield together.

Thats a word that has been used re players and Stoke for dozens of players over the past 3 seasons mate. Did we really talk to the player or make an offer for him?

Yet was he not the one rolling around clutching his face like a great big pussy at the end of the game when he hadn't even been touched. Not for me thanks. Give me an honest pro like Deano and Rory any day. Must admit that was poor but it was a tiny part of an otherwise very good game for the lad. PS your taste in footballers is dire.

Tiote at Toon or Mulumbu at Brazil would be fantastic signings

The pitch side mike also picked him up yelping like a dog in that incident.

Completely agree with mickstupp. We've needed someone of his ilk since we got promoted.

If we have to sign players that feign injury to the extent that moron did the other night to progress then i would rather we stayed as we are. Cheating via simulation is a cancer that will eventually ruin football. It's hard enough for the useless refs as it is without players pretending to be fouled in order to create false advantage for themselves. Wenger may think over committed tackling is a problem but it is an absolute insignificance in comparison to the damage that simulation will eventually do to football. I can honestly say now that if simulation becomes a regular occurance at Stoke i will stop attending games, no doubt about it.

Mate, what i meant was that we could use someone with the same sort of footballing abilities that he has. Despite his cuntish behaviour he's looked a damn good footballer everytime i've seen him and a type of player (behaviour excluded) that we could really use in our team.

I don't disagree, he did look quality on the ball and v powerful, all the more shameful for rolling around like a big mincer holding his face at the end of the game. The even funnier thing i noticed was when he threw his shirt into the crowd at the end no one wanted it. Maybe the newcastle fans don't like him either. Not for me thanks.

He didn't paint himself in glory with what he did i agree mate. In an ideal world we'd get scott parker but in a realistic one we'd stand more chance with Paul Parker ;D

Tiote was a superb find by Newcastle.He is a magnificent midfielder. Far better than anything we have. Our scouting system turned up Arismendi. The lad Phillips who Blackpool have signed from Wycombe for peanuts also looks good.
We have either non existent or extremely inferior scouting system.
