He's so much better in a three man midfield, those three really compliment each other well. I'd like to see him sign a new contract, but I won't be too disappointed if he leaves. Very serviceable backup to have though.

I think it's basically up to him whether he stays or goes, I can't see us offering him a fortune to stay or anything like that.  The thing is that if our central midfield personnel remains the same, and we revert back to 442 or prefer Jonas or someone in there, then he'll still get loads of games for us.  Tiote and Cabaye are very vulnerable to the odd suspension, injury and then there's the ACON.  Could understand him wanting to be a guaranteed starter, but he's been here 4 years now, for much of which we've been pretty shit.  You'd think he'd want to stick around and be part of something special here rather than going to Villa or wherever.

He should have a look at how Mr Barton and the co are doing after they've left.  Like AP has said, some times players miss seeing the bigger picture.  The bigger picture for Guthrie is that hes a vital member of the squad and sometimes the grass is not always greener.

I like him, I think he's good and he's certainly had his best season here. But so, so often it looks like he wants to much time in the middle and gets caught on the ball. Is anyone else seeing this or have I just built it up in my mind? Sometimes he reminds me of a player that's new to the league, the type everyone says 'he just hasn't adjusted to the pace of it yet, he'll be fine'.
