Cattermole to get 4 year contract?

Well according to The Sun Lee Cattermole will get a new bumper 4 year contract.

Anybody registered with The Sun for the full article?

I would be pleased with this as Cattermole is the driving force behind our team and I am happy if Poyet has seen this. Maybe him being injured against Swansea has persuaded Poyet we need Cattermole.

I wouldn't mind Cattermole reinstated as Captain as well.

Thoughts?

 

I do not believe any paper.
Look at the drivel some of them have printed over the last few days. I will stick with SSN or the SAFC website before I accept it's true.

 

If only he could make more than 23 league appearances for us in a season...

 

My first instinct was 4 years is too long but then again why not, gus got the best out of him and his best is class, i voted him player of the season on safc.com

 

Four years? Why not? I think he's still improving and is a big asset to the team. Four years gives both the club and player some stability and, if either decide they'd like to change, the chance of a transfer fee to boot. Win win for me.

 

Good move IMO, he has been excellent recently and has stayed fit and away from red cards.

We look a much better side when he is playing.

 

this - looked a lot better since he calmed down on the "diving in on tackles" front SOME of the refs seem to have realised this as well and are not booking him just for looking at them

 

A fit Lee Cattermole is an asset to us. He drives the team forward and motivates everyone on the pitch - John O'Shea may have the armband but we all know who captains the side!

Certainly hope it's true and not just paper bollocks

 

Seems to have calmed down and matured always liked him hope thus is true.

 

If the Sun told me it was the 14th of may I'd have to check the calender.

 

Exactly!!

 

On current form... Cracking.

 

Sound bit of business for me that like.

 

Would be over the moon with this, think he has come on leaps and bunds under Poyet - my player of the year.

At first I was in complete agreement about giving him the armband back, but on second thoughts maybe it's the reduced pressure which has helped him improve his game?

 

4 years is excellent news he and colback have been most improved players this season 4 years contract for jack would be great news as well

 

If he controls his temper he would be like Roy keane in midfield for me, get that contract signed quick Catts !.

 

Very much doubt this will be true. didn't cattermole sign a 4 year deal about 18 months ago?

 

Roy "Calm headed" Keane...

 

Gan on Catts, ya drunken yob....ya nee George Best, ya birds a pig, ya get pissed to easily, but ya alreet by me.

 

Yes but he now has 2 years of that left to run so surely the club would be best advised to offer him an extended deal to ensure he doesn't go for free if it comes to it
