Cattermole is like marmite either you love him or hate him. I'm not a big fan myself think he gives the ball away to easy then puts in a stupid challenge to win it back. But he has being playing better lately. If it's about 5mill then I think it's a good deal. We have colback, ki and briddcut who can play in that role. Would like to see a more attacking midfielder come in.

I like him.
I think his game has improved under Poyet.
He has the potential to shine with the right coaching.
We really missed him against Stoke.

£4M for Catts - good business or should we have kept him. what does everyone think?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sky says it's upto £5mil & I say only if we get in another to help cover, bridcutt is untried in the the prem, would be nice to have another, though they say we're looking for another english midfielder which is a plus experience wise.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm not a big Cattermole fan but I'm actually feeling a bit uneasy about this. I was hoping we wouldn't sell anyone now were finally winning some matches. I'm happy with the players we've signed though.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed039's Note - Liam Bridcutt will take Cattermole's place in the side, like for like so I wouldnt worry too much about numbers)

Cattermole is unreliable, just hope bridcut is a good enough replacement, need to sign ki though, and sell larsson

Agree0 Disagree0

Bridcutt is cup tied for the league cup final!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed024's Note - Yup - but Poyet wasn't buying him to play in one game.}

Who's suggesting he did, that's just stupid! Point is who would play in that position against a free scoring Man City in the cup final? Colback, Larsson or Gardner. NO THANKS!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed024's Note - Colback possibly could, but more likely to be Cattermole}

If cattermole goes today I believe we should try and sign banaga or siguardson, who do people think we'll sign today?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Would love Banega or Sigurdsson here but we aren't linked to Sigurdsson and Banega is becoming more and more unlikely

We should NOT sell Cattermole, this will end very badly Gus, don't do it, PLEASE
Cattermole has been class for us, he has protected the back 4 brilliantly, and now Poyet is putting his trust into a small defensive Midfielder with no PL experience, it showed how much we need Cattermole against Stoke, we were lost, Ki didn't know what he was doing and neither did the rest

We haven't (yet) got the playmaker we need and if we sell Catts, I thi k we have a lot bigger chance of getting relegated

Agree0 Disagree0

Seems cats off for a medical at stoke, so most likely he's gone.

Agree0 Disagree0

Good to see the development lads going out on loan to try and get some first team action. Watmore and Karlsson could both do well in Scottish football!

Cabral and Diakite now out on loan so I wouldn't expect them to return.

Danny Graham will only return if we go down as he can do a job for us at Championship level.

Vaughan is now off our books.

I would sell Fletcher if we get a bid of £7m or more as he is not interested anymore.

Cattermole I would sell as well to balance the books but with Bridcutt cup tied it would leave us short of defensive midfielders at Wembley.

If we could get rid of Gardner and Larsson now and bring in others, Banega or Buckly perhaps, it will have been a good transfer window.
