Getting rid is a real statement of intent for me. We want to be a consistently top 6 club and he is not a consistently top 6 player

 

We wanted to keep him. However he knows hes behind our top-class centre mids in cabaye and tiote. Hes desperate for first team football, so didnt sign the contract on offer. Not really a statement of intent from the club.

He wants to play every week, we'll have offered wages more in line with someone third in the queue and he's decided not to take it. I don't think there's anything that can be read into it tbh. You could easily argue a statement of intent would be to keep him.

Is it a case of us "getting rid" though, or simply him not wanting to sign on again in favour of first team football. I reckon unlike Smith and Lovenkrands, we'd have offered him something.

We could have offered him more money and assurances over playing regularly in the team. We chose not to, presumably as we don't think he warrants that. Tantamount to getting rid.

I'd be surprised if he's on much more elsewhere than what we'd have offered tbh. I think it's purely a footballing decision on Guthrie's part, and good luck to him.

Don't think he's started another league game. Made a few sub appearances- Mackems, Everton (for about 60 minutes), Man City and Spurs spring to mind. Also played in the Carling Cup in the early rounds didn't he?
