Yeah, I feel the same. Would definitely want him to sign a new contract.
If we play a 4-3-3 in the future, Guthrie would be ideal in a midfield three with Cabaye and Tiote.
But if we play the standard 4 in midfield, can't see Guthrie being in the first team like and that could sway the lad into making a decision to leave - a choice which I would understand. He's 24 and a player of his ability should be getting regular football really (he will get that for the time being but once Tiote's back, I suspect Danny will drop out).
