Has Ashley Already Struck A Deal To Sell Tiote?

23 March 2012 11:17
Derek Llambias made the strange quote that Cheick Tiote would be a target for "clubs like Chelsea" and rumours in London suggest a deal has already been struck!

There has been strong speculation that Cheick Tiote has already agreed to move to Stamford Bridge next season as a replacement for Michael Essien.

Llambias pin-pointed the midfielder as one who could leave in the summer, and some north-east reporters claimed: "Llambias may as well have put a price-tag on Tiote's shoulders!"

There seems to be more to this "rumour" than meets the eye, and even if Tiote is staying silent on the subject, the London media are ready to break the news.
