Cheick Tiote – Out To Africa…Again

Is it something that should be looked at or is it just tough that you buy players who are international stars for their countries?

Cheick Tiote is off on his travels again as the Ivory Coast play a friendly against Guinea on Wednesday night.

I think in normal circumstances you would have problems justifying complaining but it does seem a bit bizarre that meaningless friendlies are being organised only a couple of weeks after the African Cup of Nations ended.
