Tiote: Get the Cheick book out!
CHEICK TIOTE has urged Mike Ashley to splash the cash after Newcastle’s nightmare start to the campaign.
The Geordies are reeling after the 4-0 hammering by Man City – compounded by the likely departure of star midfielder Yohan Cabaye.
Director of football Joe Kinnear has managed to land just one new arrival, French striker Loic Remy on a season-long loan from QPR.
And time is running out to strengthen before the summer transfer window closes.
Ivory Coast midfielder Tiote said: “I think we need some more players – we don’t have a big squad.
“Now we’ve got Steven Taylor out for three games and Jonas Gutierrez is injured.
“It’s going to be tough. I hope the chairman is going to spend money on the club.”
