In my view Catamole delivers plenty of endeavour and commitment but very little class and little or no threat in front of goal, nor is his delivery anything to rave about - no doubt that is why he is a holding mid fielder - but when you consider he is also prone to making costly mistakes, I really do not consider him integral to our side - give me Ndye every time!

I have to disagree
Whilst Cattermoles work may not be pretty or crowd pleasing it is incredibly effective
It really annoys me when people ignore what he does, he breaks everything up, he stops attacks and doubles up with everyone around him, without Cattermole we would have conceded a hell of a lot more goals
He isn't goal creator or threat yes but it isn't his job to be, he may give the ball away a few times but 90% of the time he wins it back

I for one am glad every time I see catts in the starting line up, therefore I agree with most of the previous post. However, i'm pretty sure catts provided 2 excellent defence splitting crosses/through balls in both of his first games back into the first team that we scored from.

Yes he did but that's 2 times in his whole Sunderland career, he has the ability to do so but it's just because he never really goes up field to do so which I'm glad about because if he's out of position, we are not in a good place
