Alfie not wanted

They are 2 good players

This lad isn't, there is a reason he was shipped out from his loan in turkey, ended up playing centre back for a team that finished bottom of the season. He isn't very good.

Catts was shit and a liability not long back. Would have had Alfie in before Catts in the form he was in. Poyet and his coaches have made him a better player and it now looks like he could be the player we all wanted him to become when we bought him. Why can he not have that effect on Alfie?

Our other players have gone from clueless plodders to half decent pass and move players under Poyet. Why can Alfie not?

From what people have said on here he actually played well on loan and was the standout player in a shit team?? Cannot blame being shipped out on loan (when never given a chance by PDC and then Poyet) to a shit team who ended up relegated on one player.

Nobody is saying he is Yaya Toure. Fans are just wanting him to be given a fair crack of the whip and given a chance to show what he can do. Then if he isn't any good he can go.

I bet you wrote Wickham off not that long back too?
 
How often did he play Centre half at Betis?

Has a couple of good games but we have to forget about them :lol:

in the league he played cb for them every game

he had 2 but was very poor in most, we fell right down the league when he joined

stopped reading there

you obviously about 12 years old or a complete idiot if you believe that

cattermole was never shit, one of the main reasons we struggled so badly season before last was because cattermole was injured all season and played about 8 games

If he stays he would need to be a cross between Yaya Toure and Iniesta to stand a chance and if he goes many will believe we have let the Messiah leave. Surprised Gus wouldn't give him a pre season to check him out properly though as 1) he is already our player 2) We aren't exactly inundated with fast and powerful midfielders currently. I trust Gus to get it right but I would be wary in writing off a player I hadn't met or had first hand experience of. He showed enough to prove he has something but also showed enough to suggest he might not be, mainly because he played in 16 games in total. I don't believe anybody on here has the right to judge a player based on that.

With Colback, Larsson and Gardner leaving and Ki going back to Swansea, we're not exactly inundated with central midfielders full stop at the minute.

You are one of the biggest idiots on here man :lol: Shout loads and refuse to hear anything anyone tells you.

Would say that was down to O'Neill becoming a total coward in his tactics and Fletcher going right off the boil as opposed to N'Diaye being in the side.

you just said that before recently you thought alfie was better than cattermole :lol::lol:

and you call me an idiot, christ all mighty, that was one of the worst posts in the history of the SMB
 
Tbh though, Lee Cattermole could just be our whole midfield, imo.. we don't need Alfie or Bridcutt.

Fair point really.

What Cattermole does in the middle seriously dwarves that of any other.

I reckon if we can get in a box to box mifielder and a playmaker we'll be very well set up for next season
