Cajun Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yep good squad player and I was completely done with him a few months ago, completely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Curls Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Still pisses me off with his shite passes and playing it back constantly, id take anything if someone was offering, that said he's nowhere near the top of fucking useless squad players we have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Still pisses me off with his shite passes and playing it back constantly, id take anything if someone was offering, that said he's nowhere near the top of fucking useless squad players we have He doesn't always play it back, though. Sometimes he has to play a ball backwards, I don't have any issue with that if it means we keep possession. Very tidy player and a useful member of our squad.

stozo Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Question was posed in the Nolan thread where the Cabaye signing leaves him. Surely Guthrie's position at the club is even more vulnerable. He's probably our 5th choice (at best) central midfielder now and it wouldn't surprise me if we sold him were a decent offer to come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Smith should be gone LONG before Guthrie is. We wouldn't be able to give Smith away, that's the problem. Guthrie is a decent player on low wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Guthrie's the epitome of mediocrity in the PL. Seems a nice lad but if we want to progress we can't be relying on the likes of him on a regular basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Guthrie's the epitome of mediocrity in the PL. Seems a nice lad but if we want to progress we can't be relying on the likes of him on a regular basis. He's a squad player. The whole point is that we shouldn't be relying on him on a regular basis. He's perfectly good backup to whoever our first choice central midfielders will be next season, especially with the money he's on. The lad can play a bit and he does get around the pitch very well for someone constantly being accused of having "no engine". There are other players who should be gone long before he is.

Ronaldo Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Guthrie's the epitome of mediocrity in the PL. Think you're being a bit kind to him there. Someone like Jonas is PL mediocrity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Guthrie's the epitome of mediocrity in the PL. Seems a nice lad but if we want to progress we can't be relying on the likes of him on a regular basis. We didn't this season just gone, and with the signing of Cabaye - adding to a pool of Tiote, Nolan, Guthrie, Smith and a fit Gosling - he's in a backup selection of three/four depending on formation. It'd be a shame to see him go when we've finally got reasonable depth in this vital position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Leon Best is PL mediocrity. Edit: Must excuse me, I saw Ronaldo's post above and thought this was the Talking Bollocks thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 He's much more useful to us than the five quid and a bag of crisps we'd get by selling him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I don't think he has ever been sufficient, tbh. We should try to shift him to one of three promoted sides. He looks decent because he's a bit of a ball player ( and we have very few of those), but he doesn't provide much of anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Guthrie costs us less than the tea lady and despite my comments earlier in the season he is a decent squad player. No need to get rid, even at 5th/6th choice his wage is low enough to retain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 He's just...fine. Doesn't really do anything of note, just passes it around safely to an acceptable degree. As cheap cover in an absolute emergency, he's fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 If Nolan and Barton's future is under doubt here then I'd be happy to keep Guthrie. He's still young and has got talent, even if he doesn't make the most of it. He's done well enough as a back up player. If we lose Nolan or Barton then we could maybe give Guthrie a better contract.

powellnufc Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Wouldn't mind him going on loan for a season to team coming up from championship, would easily get into QPR's midfield, maybe if possible be able to be recalled. With a consistent run of games in the prem and a decent fitness programme, he might be able to cut the sloppiness out of his game and become a decent player. But we will never see if he can do it if he is stuck on the bench only getting the odd game due to player injuries. Although, at the same time we cant risk giving him a starting role in our first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Get rid, horrible player. If we are gonna have 5th/6th choices then I would they be younger players who have some talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
