On his disciplinary record, he's only had 1 red card in the last 4 years, albeit a period in which he has played 102 matches. He has had a remarkable 32 yellow cards in those matches, so almost 1 every 3 matches. Not sure how that translates to suspensions.
 
So, Nige wants another CM'er.
Norwood fee too much for Ehab, so instead pay high loan fee / wages for Cattermole.
Said many times we miss an Ash [HASHTAG]#legend[/HASHTAG](*) type player. Cattermole isn't what I had in mind but if it happens, hopefully it proves an inspired move.

* [HASHTAG]#legend[/HASHTAG] should be mandatory after every mention of Ashbee, in an Muslim / Allah sort of way

Ye I know he is.
Did Brucey sign him twice?
The other year when Sunderland beat Chelsea and Arsenal to stay up, he was excellent.

Yeah Bruce signed him for Wigan and Sunderland. He's got a good pass on him, could be a nice little steal for us. I'm just worried his wages will be higher than what we would like to pay.
 
Cattermole is just the type of player we need. Decent reader of the game, thoughtful passer of the ball and he drives his teammates on.
Not afraid to mix it with like-minded opposition players, which in turn would allow more freedom for his cohorts.
With a bit of luck, Adkins may be able to get him to pick his times better. Always plays for his shirt.

Reading some Sunderlands forums he's certainly divided opinion, many want him gone also others refer to him as being a bad influence off the field, i don't know what t make of it, massive risk, his discipline record we all know about,plus he has suffered with injuries over the last few seasons, and he's wages is another problem,still one of Sunderlands high earners, and after this summer when Ehab couldn't get our high earners out of the door fast enough, why go out and spend money on a high risk player, plus Adkins is on record as saying he wants "young and hungry" players, unless Darnbrough been offered him on the cheap and Adkins has been told "Nigel you'll get what your given".

My best mate is a Sunderland fan, he says Cattermole is one of those there that have been dragging the team down for years. When he was younger he would have been a good Ash type but not for at least the last 3 years. This potential signing really shows how much some of our fans are clutching at straws these days, sad times

He was dire for Sunderland last season according to the Sunderland fans.

Though they seem to say all their players are dire every season.

This is true on both counts.

It also has to be said, although he's only one player, that despite his leadership and grit, they've finished rock bottom two seasons running.

But, that said, if he becomes a Tiger then he'll have my total support

Ye let's hope he's as bad as Elmo Meyler and Larsson. Absolute disasters for us all of them. We warned they were bad by them...

he didn't play in the pl relegation, well 8 games.
Who would want a player with 12 years pl experience.

Right. Didn't realise/remember that.

It's maybe unfair, but I feel it reflects badly on a 'leader' whose team had capitulated for two seasons running.

But, of course, I expect Adkins to know more about himethan I, and I'd support LC if he signs.

Think the problems at Sunderland went a lot deeper than any one player.

Cattermole is one of those old school players.
If they're winning and he's seen in a boozer he's a great man.
If they're losing he's a pissed up **** who doesn't care about the club.
Adkins does know more than you and I Leon but not someone's best mate. Arf
