Love to kna why Bruce wants him at Sheffield Wednesday
He'll get tortured in the championship
This was proved in our relegation season
Not sure if that will happen. Catts wants to try abroad I think.

He’s not got a following because of ability, like nosworthy he’s more a cult hero. He’s got it because of his attitude on the pitch and aggression. Typical north east player.It does mind, most clubs nearly all have a Cattermole type of player who sits in front of the back four doing a alright honest job.
However most clubs have better and more exciting players to talk about.
He was by far our best midfielder
At 380k I'm not sure whether we'd make much of a profit if we sold him.Our more recent record is one of shrewd signings.....McLaughlin (keeper), McGeouch, McGuire all excellent free signings, O9 tremendous signing given the size of the fee........Like all clubs there will be those that dont work out but not sure we have done too badly......Ironically the ones that seem to struggle so far are those who have cost big £££. I am hoping that we see a huge return on Grigg and Wyke this season and for me that is all about investing some of those wages we have freed up and getting a play maker in.
He should have had a two year extension at most. Five years was utterly incomprehensible.He, for a player at 31, will have had one eye on where his next contract is going to come from (Sheff Wed by the looks) and how long it is going to be for, 3 years I'd take a guess on........Pleased he has moved on but that should of happened before his agent managed to negotiate the last deal he signed when imo the club fucked up.
He missed about as many matches as he played. 260 over 10 years isn't that great tbh.A ridiculous wage off the books at this level.
A decent enough pro and a great appearance record but time to move on for both player and club.
Amen
Nice guy, awful player. Now I know we will be promoted this season. Time to shake hands @rocky (been a hell of a ride over 10 years)
I grew up while the mags were talking about their players, players such as Shearer, Gascoingne,Beardsley and Ginola as their best players and favourite players, yet our fans talk about Lee Cattermole! It’s not even a comparison.
I personally think it’s sad as fuck a club of our statue and fan base have a player with as limited talent as him as their favourite all time player,
While other clubs of similar sizes actually talk about talented players
He’s not got a following because of ability, like nosworthy he’s more a cult hero. He’s got it because of his attitude on the pitch and aggression. Typical north east player.
He’s not a great player in our history like the ones you compared him to at Newcastle. You’d be better comparing him to someone like Ryan Taylor who they still sing about.
Its positive if that money is reinvested to improve the overall squad.I literally can't believe that Lee £40k a week Cattermole leaving League 1 SAFC at the beginning of July can be viewed as anything other than a positive step by the club.
People talk about Charlie being a good spin doctor. We've got a boat full on here IMO.
Honourable only if he was thinking about the club rather than himself. Who knows what his motivation has been?Leaving aside his salary. He's a compedent L1 midfielder at best these days. At 40k a week he had to go. Honourable decision by him imo.
Maybe he could try the Cypriot 3rd divisionNot sure if that will happen. Catts wants to try abroad I think.
I am amazed he walked.
WTF is going to take him?
Of course he'd be thinking about himself. As would anyone making such a choice.Honourable only if he was thinking about the club rather than himself. Who knows what his motivation has been?
I think we should retire the number 6 shirt. No one can fill it imo
At 380k I'm not sure whether we'd make much of a profit if we sold him..
He signed for £100k
Agree. Hopefully he has learned from last season and improved (we know how hard he works) enough to make it in midfield.Should be given the appropriate encouragement and opportunity to make his mark in midfield now.
He has the necessary characteristics to be a big player for us imo.
