Quality backup . If only Guthrie had his heart.

 

Oh come on. You're basing this off barely five minutes of selective highlights. There's no doubt that it's promising news but to start comparing him to other members of the team is a bit much; especially those who're unfortunate enough to have suffered impact injuries this pre-season.

 

I still like Guthrie, he showed plenty of heart staying at the club and playing a pivotal role in making sure we returned to the Premier League, particularly when played out of position half the time. It's a bit of a pleasure to be blessed with such depth at centre-mid now... it's such an important role. You need only look at the year we went down (and a couple of the years preceding it). Generally, total garbage in the centre of the park, particularly in depth. Guthrie was probably the best centre-mid we had!

 

Mental how some people are still on the lad's back after one shitty performance at The Hawthorns. Guthrie's been a decent servant to this club.

 

Rant over. :razz:

Absolutely nothing wrong with Guthrie's attitude or his heart. He's always given his all.

 

Unfortunately, he's not the greatest athlete and that will prevent him from reaching the heights that other players will achieve.

 

No-one said that life was fair.

Lets be honest, Guthrie won't have been falling over which offers to stay in the Premiership, if any.

Guthrie has gotten a pretty hard deal ever since his abortion of a performance at The Hawthorns. He's shown in the past (and at times last season) that he's more than capable back-up

 

Agreed. Was very good in the Championship and has been decent in the PL, he's like you say more than capable as back-up and can see him play well next to Tiote and two real wingers.

Always liked Guthrie, think he gets alot of unearned shit on here sometimes. No Nolans gone its time to pick on Guthrie for being overweight, slow and unfit. Showed a ton of potential in our promotion season, maybe doesnt have enough to nail down a starting spot in a top 6 team but he has time and is adequete back up. At 24 I can see him wanting out to get regular football though.

 

Gosling's pre-season is a big plus so far, likewise Abeid and Vuckic. Would still like another DM to cover tiote but we are pretty chocked in the middle, with alot of talent still young and developing.

Nah not having it. At PL level, Guthrie's very mediocre. As pointed out, his lack of athleticism really shows at the top level.

Good back up tho'.  As shown against Spurs for example last year.  Still can't work out what happened at the Hawthorns mind....

I'd be a bit disappointed if Guthrie prevented Abeid and Vuckic's progress by being ahead of them in the pecking order though.

Fair point.  Though he does have experience of the Premier League and we'll need some of that when Tiote is at the ACN.

Midfielders by ability

 

Tiote

Barton

Cabaye

Gosling

Abeid

Guthrie

Vuckic

Smith

 

Personally because of age and capacity to improve Guthrie and smith should be vulnerable

 

From what I've seen

Are we getting a little ahead of ourselves with Abeid? I haven't seen the friendlies so that's a genuine question but it does seem like people might be jumping the gun a little? ???

He looks ahead of all of our reserve players in development. Can run with the ball and pick a decent pass so is instantly above guthrie for me, i dont rate guthrie at all lol. i base my opinion purely on the friendlies he has played with us mind
