Whatever happens we cant sell him before that match or we cant allow him to play that match. Id be kind of sad to see him go, on his day he can be a leader, a great player even england levels, however those days are very very very thin. And hos downsides are close to out weighing his upsides. If we sell him we need to get a player in first, and he simply cant be allowed to play in the game against us, it has all the hallmarks of a massive fuck up if he is allowed to play.[DOUBLEPOST=1390384323][/DOUBLEPOST]
In all honest why? ive seen little of him but cattermole has played nearly all if not all his time in the top flight briddcutt aint.

1. Poyet rates him and I'd trust the opinion of a manager over a fan 9/10
2. Ive seen him play and he is ready for the premier league, not outstanding but good enough for us and has the potential to be very very good
3. Cattermole has played 92 games for us in 4/5 years..... it's not a very good record for a player who is supposedly our best midfielder
4. Catts (only in my opinion) doesnt suit Poyets style as well as others
5. again just my opinion but he is not as good as many make out on here
6. his discipline and injury records are very poor, out of the 92 games he has played how many has he finished? id say less than 80

I'd like Cattermole to stay, however £5m is a massive offer for someone who isnt playing very well at the moment and maybe we have to sell players to buy, I trust Poyets decisions and the players he wants to bring in

Adam a far dirtier player than Catts, just somehow the goofy little jock twat gets away with it.
he might teach Catts his cheating skills and make him world class.

Depends on the manager and the fan... but I wouldn't go along with.

Managers have been responsible for making some incredibly stupid decisions.

And Stoke would have less chance of finishing any game with eleven men on the pitch.

fair play.... however this manager seems different, only time will tell but I have a lot of faith in Gus so think he'll be a bit clued up about players to sign
 
I'd prefer to bring in a good midfielder now and think about letting Catts go in the summer having hopefully stayed up. High risk letting him go now when there's at least two other midfielders I'd rather see out the door before Cattermole
 
Be interesting to see how this develops - if we do sell, it won't be before we play them. I know that the club is still trying to balance the books after the Bruce/O'Neill eras and an offer of 5m for a rd card and injury prone midfielder is a good one, but with Larsson, Gardner and Vaughan all out of contract in the summer (i.e. We have their wages guaranteed to be off the wage bill by 1st July) does it not make sense (even if we sign Bridcutt) to carry that additional wage (Cattermole) until the summer and re-assess?

I think in general he's good, but every manager is prone to their blind spots...baffles me how he started Gardner more than twice...

When was the last time he was a goal threat
Blokes more of liability than a plus

You can hear the whole crowd hold their breath when he gans in for a tackle

Was Claude Makele a goal threat for Chelsea?

His role is a defensive one, he doesn't get forward for corners as he's left as last man back due to his height.

He breaks up play and gives the ball to the people who can create things.

Agree but others can do that equally effectively and with less liability. Gus seems to think Bridcutt can and that's good enough for me.

Or who can score, as in the case of Gabby.

Ha ha. Sorry but if you think Sunderland are the only Premier team who have noticed Bridcutt you are sorely mistaken.

Whilst the media are Premier League league paid up Sky subscribers hanging on the every word of Lawro and Shearo fortunately scouts are less so.

I'm surprised no one has signed him up in that case.

Realistically he'll know that even if we get through tonight our chances are pretty slim of actually winning the thing. So it will be the prospect of a Wembley final, and little else. Comparing that to a new, probably longer, contract in the Premier League with a club slightly more likely to stay up than we are, and the decision will probably not be that difficult, especially if he gets some kind of bonus.

He'd probably also relish a new start, given his mixed reputation among our fans, and the likelihood that he doesn't really fit the footballing philosophy of our manager.

I think the time is right for him to move on, for all our sakes.

Agreed.
