farawaysaint Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 Newcastle fans oop north on Facebook are saying getting rid of Guthrie is a mistake He's 25 now and Newcastle are probably planning to try and push on to the Champions league next year, (unlikely I know.) He'd be nothing but a bit-part player for them if he stays but he could do a decent job for many teams at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 (edited) The only player I'd take from that list is Guthrie, and even he wouldn't improve us in the middle massively. but on a free? now if we could just get Leon Crouch to subsidise his salary we'd be in a win-win situation. Obviously with their French Armada in the middle o't park Newcastle don't need Guthrie.Pity we didn't go after the lad they signed to replace him,Amalfitano jr from Reims.They got him free and he's probably on about 5 bob a week as well.

sfc1971 Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 A couple of yrs ago I won £400 on Newcastle to go down, Nxt Season I can see the same.

Gordon Mockles Posted 2 June, 2012 Share Posted 2 June, 2012 Was Guthrie the chubby one? We don't want any porkers. As rightly corrected, that was Adam Hamill. He must have been on the George Burley fitness regime sponsored by Jameson's. Came in skinny & full of optimism, left fat & out of shape physically & mentally. Good old George! Whoever thinks Guthrie adds nothing is clearly misguided. Much better that Hammond & an improvemt on Chaplow (who I like) & Leon Best did us a big favour bringing him in. Was sorry to see Guthrie go. Experience in PL, young & hungry for football AND free, seems to tick all our transfer policy boxes & ex Saints, something to prove. Sounds ideal. Love to see him link up with Morgan as someone astutely pointed out. Yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Season just gone was a poor one by Prem standards and was a pure fluke the Toon Army finished where they did. Eh? They've got an excellent spine to their squad, as good as any team in the Prem outside of Manchester. Krul, Coloccini, S. Taylor, Santon, Tiote, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Ba and Cisse are anything but relegation fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlelat17 Posted 2 June, 2012 Share Posted 2 June, 2012 Newcastle did want to keep him and offered him a new contract a few months back but he opted to see out his contract and go on a free to get first team football... Definately worth trying to pick up as hes a free but wages maybe a stumbling block now.. depends how much he wants to play and whether a more established team like Stoke, Villa etc will offer more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Nelson Posted 2 June, 2012 Share Posted 2 June, 2012 If Guthrie had been that good he had played first team football with Toon and everybody would have been happy. I wish we could be a little more ambitious rather than to get all excited about players who have been there and not quite made it. Somewhere else I see that Jack Butland wouldn't join Saints but go to a "big" club like Everton or Aston Villa! There is really no need to have such an inferiority complex. The ambitions of our chairman takes us to seek out young players with great potential for the long run to take us to much higher places in the PL than we so far have not even dreamt of. Lee Holmes in his farewell interview is talking about Champions League! Others who play or work for the club also talks about the surprising ambition which is pushing the club on. If we do what we've always done we will struggle year after year with avoiding relegation. NC should be well known by now by all of us not to do what this club has always done. The plans are different because he is looking to achieve something different. That doesn't include spending obscene amounts of money on established superstars, but to spot the future superstars and develop them in a club which has got access to all technology and new thinking not to leave any stone unturned. We will occasionally get our superstars, also the odd turkey and a number of also-rans, but it is the only intelligent way to progress. I kept on saying that the top 6 or 10 of L1 were no worse than most of the CC teams. We proved that. I now say that for an outstanding CC side they have nothing to fear from half of the teams in the PL. Norwich, Swansea, Villa, Everton, West Brom, Wigan, etc. Since they are the enemy I am starting to feel quite confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disgrace at all. Guthrie is a great player, good engine, good passer, tough in the tackle, British and about the right age. I'd hope we'd be making an enquiry.

The9 Posted 4 June, 2012 Share Posted 4 June, 2012 I think Guthrie would be an improvement on some of our central midfielders but he wasn't the greatest when he was here last time. Worked hard, capable of injecting some pace, right sort of age, not sure about attitude if we wanted to rotate him out though. We were pretty crappy around him when he was here before, but if Newcastle can find the relatively unhealed Tiote and Cabaye a year ago, I don't know why we couldn't do that too.
