AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 shame. But I see no reason to not play Jonas instead of him and then play Santon LB. Looking at Jonas performance yesterday I would not worry too much with Santon. Yep, Jonas struggled positionally at times, Santon should be at least as good.

Anderson Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Out with calf injury for 3-4 weeks. Having scan on Tuesday. NUFC have not even made him an offer yet but other Premiership clubs have......................... Bollocks. Other PL clubs aren't even allowed to talk to him until his contract's up.

I dunno, i understood it to be that you could make a pre contract agreement with anyone come 1st January of the year your contract expired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gasusoca Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 He is allowed and has been......................mark my words. From 1 Jan onwards in last year of your contract you can do what you like. Also if dont sign with someone until Aug then club has to pay you for July, remember a certain M Owen??

bealios Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 If we make the UEFA Cup then it's pretty essential we keep hold of the likes of Guthrie, especially since we are losing Tiote to the African Cup of Nations next year (if he hasn't gone already.....) As long as we don't take the piss with the offer then I can see him staying as well, as I can't see the likes of the (current) top 5 coming in for him. Everton maybe.

buzza Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I thought he was our best player yesterday, great passing, composure and very good pressuring, didn't pùt a foot wrong. Shame that he gets injured but Jonas should cover equally as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Should definitely be looking to keep him. Especially if we continue to play a midfield three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I am sure that clubs can offer a contract, but surely the agent can talk to whoever he wants and develop an idea of what clubs are going to pursue his client at the end of the season.

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Good squad player but I think with the shrewd signings we've made recently we can definitely get a better player in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think Guthrie is a good player and worth keeping. Lets try to maintain some continuity with a good base of players. If a big club comes for Tiote, they will open their cheque-books and we will sell at the right price. Guthrie is important for us I think, and he has been good this season.

SEMTEX Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Good squad player but I think with the shrewd signings we've made recently we can definitely get a better player in. Agree, but am also a little uneasy with the notion of making a large amount of changes to the squad. I'd really be looking for 1-3 high quality improvements, shipping out the god awfuls and keeping the guthries. I mean, I'll deal with it either way, but I definitely think we need to be looking to keep him, for stability sake. Though the likelihood is that he won't be sold on the idea of falling further down the pecking order... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Any news on his injury yesterday? Useful squad player especially if we're gonna play 3 in the middle. Prefer him to Gosling anytime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Good performance yesterday, but I would like to see him as the more advanced of the 3 in midfield. Tiote and Cabaye can exchange places and patrol the lines in front of the defence, and Guthrie should be the one in or around "zone 14" or whatever it was called. I think he can get a few more goals from that position as he can certainly hit them. I have more faith in the engines of Cabaye and Tiote to be able to do the running to defend or help in attack, than I do Guthrie's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have a feeling he'll be in a Villa shirt next season, probably along with Danny Simpson, but it must have felt sweet to be part of the destruction of the team who let him go because he wasn't considered good enough for their midfield.

Kanj Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Classic man, after a few good performances he gets hurt. I hate seeing that, his luck is terrible isn't it? Thankfully we have Jonas who can put in a damn good shift in the midfield 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
