kick it off 1,948 Posted August 24, 2012 Disappointed it''s not Biglia, but Tettey is supposed to be a decent player so happy with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Always thought Biglia was hugely unlikely, doubt very much we''ll be signing both. Don''t know much about Tettey, looking forward to seeing what he''s all about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImDrunky 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Have to admit I know nothing about him, had a look on youtube and he looks like a good player... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G0BZMaF4DY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNAP 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Sadly, appoint a defender and you get defenders. We could go down with the fewest goals against ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brendo 0 Posted August 24, 2012 if Tettey signed yesterday, everyone would have been happy. the hype around Biglia changes nothing, still a good signing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for the vid link. Looks like a powerful pacey player, looks like he likes to get forward too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hog 0 Posted August 24, 2012 The new Essien, very happy with this. But concerned its only a two tear deal, if he is amazing this year we could lose him next season for a cut price amount.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImDrunky 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Not forgetting Hughton is the one who brought in Ben arfa to Newcastle, and what a player he is. This Tettey players looks pretty promising. (from the video I saw lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,633 Posted August 24, 2012 It is two years with an option for third year, so effectively 3 years if we want it. Makes sees, we don''t know how he''ll fare in the PL yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Not seen a lot of him to be honest but we desperately needed a holding midfielder & Tettey is a holding midfielder, he must be an improvement on Bradley Johnson.Hope we''re still in with a chance of getting Biglia. If we get both in, I think its the end for Johnson, interesting to see if he starts tomorrow with Fox still out injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted August 24, 2012 [quote user="SNAP"]Sadly, appoint a defender and you get defenders. We could go down with the fewest goals against ever![/quote]If you got a quality defensive midfielder shielding the back line, this means the other midfielders feel more comfortable bombing forward. If Tetty''s playing and he''s good, hopefully Howson, Snoddy and Pilks can push up more. I always remember what a difference Gary Holt made to the entire team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeAreYellows49 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Will welcome him as with all new players, but have to say I''m disappointed it wasn''t a striker. There''s still time for that I guess, but if we don''t get a good striker then it''s gonna be a long ole season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
