TRon Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Guthrie's looked better on the ball than Cabaye for ages now, but even during his good games he still looked shit off the ball and especially defensively. And he's had moments where he's looked a bit of a liability imo. Just don't think he has the physical or mental requirements for 4-4-2 and he's probably not got enough impact in the final third to be an out and out attacking midfielder either. Technically very nice, but that's it. I'd like to keep him as back-up but i don't think he'd be happy to continue being benched all the time. Think he'll do better in a more possession orientated side anyway. Pretty much my view word for word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Would be a brilliant signing for Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Would be a brilliant signing for Swansea. If they don't secure Sigurdsson then Guthrie would be fit in well with their team/ethos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Would be a brilliant signing for Swansea. A midfielder who can't run? Don't think he'd get a game there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Replace him with Diame. Done. I like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Not to fussed really, we have other young CM players to replace him, he is never going to be fit enough to play 90 mins week in week out. I remember the video on NUFCTV where Wright is on about how Guthrie is the worst trainer how he really hates the fitness side, and IMO that shows.

AlanSkÃrare Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Would be a brilliant signing for Swansea. A midfielder who can't run? Don't think he'd get a game there. Technically he's superior to Britton and Allen. Rodgers could probably help him develop as well. Sigurdsson is obviously a better player though.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I think Britton performs his role better while Allen and Sigurdsson are better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 If they sign Guthrie and we sign Sigurdsson, that'd be decent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Not remotely surprised if he's had enough. He deserves to be in the team after his performances earlier in the year. Bit of a pisstake how he was immediately lynched the moment an under-performing Cabaye came back. He'll be a good player for someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Shame. Agree to a certain extent that he's very replaceable, but at the same time I'd ideally like to keep him and possibly look to bring in another body for CM (if we qualify for Europe) which would allow us to send our younger players, like Abeid, out on loan. As it stands Abeid could soon be our third choice CM if we lose Guthrie and Gosling as expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It's a shame that he's intent on leaving. It's understandable from his point of view, I guess - unfortunately, he's not going to get in the team ahead of Cabaye and Tiote so looks like leaving would be the best move for his career. Has to be said, he's done really well when called upon this season and I really would have liked him to stay. If he does indeed leave, hope he doesn't go to Villa. Really don't trust McLeish to get the best out of him. In any case, best of luck to the lad, whatever his career path. Don't believe he is intent on leaving, just wants a better deal. The plus side of leaving is the signing on fee, better wages and likely automatic first team football which outweigh sticking here and waiting for Cabaye or Tiote to get injured or suspended. Regardless, he does want to stay and has said as much, our board is just hardball with how much we rate him. Like to see us playing 3 in midfield with a combination of Guthrie, Tiote, Cabaye and Guti and a front three of Hatem, Cisse and Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Proved today how unfit he is, for a PREM footballer that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Going to miss him if he leaves - have always liked him and is finally starting to show what he can give to a PL midfield. If he doesn't fit into our setup, then the best of luck to him whereever he goes. Think he'll definitely become a solid, midtable PL midfielder for years to come.

Dokko Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 If I were a newly promoted team next season he'd be the first signing I'd make, £25kpw, play him every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Would be an amazing 5-a-side player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Replace him with Diame. Done. I'd like to get someone like Diame in irrelevant if he leaves or not, we need someone to back up Tiote who has an understanding with Cabaye of when to press the play and when to sit because Guthrie for all his pro's does not understand this. Having said this id like to see him stay but i will understand if we wants to leave for regular football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Always liked him but he is so one paced, his lack of movement and pace will stop him being a top player imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Lovely on the ball but when off the ball he's a liability at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 He needs to go. He's been here for a long time and, for one reason or another, hasn't done enough to justify a new contract. Similarly to Lovenkrands, Best and Smith, we should be using his place in the squad with a player with potential who could go on to be far better than the players they're replacing.

Guest palnese Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Think he'll wait and see if we qualify for Europe. If we do so, we're going to need a bigger squad, and he'll get more time on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
