http://www.bursahakimiyet.com.tr/haber/bursaspor/sunderlandden-iki-isim/6673.html Basically says Catts and Bramble are on Bursaspor's wishlist but they face competition from Ipswich, Apoel and Mallorca for tight **** Would be fantastic for us IMO, get a fee for Bramble who is out of contract next summer and replace him with Cuellar and IMO Catts is overrated and we all know him and Colback do not work. IMO Colback is the best central midfielder we have and we need to keep him, as for the other 4 they can all go IMO. Time to get something different in the centre and sign Manuel Fernandes and Mohamad Diame.
I wouldnt mind Bramble going but I would prefer to keep Catts. I think he looked good under MON and seemed to be staying on his feet a lot more. I think if he can carry that consistancy into next season he will be worth keeping. Hasnt he just signed a new deal as well?
I think Bramble is seriously undervalued and underrated by our fans, especially the ones who were wetting themselves over Killgallon having a couple of decent games and people hailing him the new Beckenbaur
I agree with you regarding brambles ability. he has never let us down, on the pitch, unfortunately i think there has been too many alleged problems with his personal life. Not bothered whether both stay or go.
I'd happily flog both Killgallon and Bramble for whatever we can get as I don't rate either of them and neither are worth their place. We need better all over the park. As for Catt's, if we were to receive a profit on the reported £6m we paid for him then yes but I doubt we would and as someone has just said, he actually started to look a lot more disciplined (the craas game being an exception) under MoN.
Bramble is a solid defender, but he keeps dragging our name through the ****. Catts I have always liked, but Colback is already better, and the gap between the 2 will widen. If we could cop £6-7million the pair, happy days. Both highly paid as well, another advantage, Cuellar & Diame for free, are better players. We win.
We are presently linked with both Huth and Cuellar who are miles better than Bramble and as far as I know bring less off field problems. If either of these come off and somebody is willing to pay a fee we should bite their hands off.
As somebody pointed out on another post though, if Huth was playing for us I am sure we would think differently about him, it is difficult to think otherwise about Bramble even though he does play for us. Huth pops up with a lot more goals than any of our other CB's.
I think Bramble is decent as a player but were a community club and his off field antics are bringing the reputation of the club down and if we can get a fee for him and someone as good or better then we should cash in
Not sure why everybody is against Catts all of a sudden. It was on SkySports that he is getting an extension, so I can imagine him being captain next season and in our starting 11. Also I can't imagine him going to Turkey. With Bramble I wouldn't be too bothered if he left. We have enough cover in CB (and thats before new signings). IMO he will be gone.
Not me, I think he would work in a 3 CM....Like this: .........................Catts....................... ...............?????..............Colback......... IMO thats how our midfield will line up. MON likes his 4-3-3. All we need now is another CM, maybe someone like Krancjar?
Can't believe that most people want rid of Cattermole, we all know he's a bit headstrong but every great team has a one, look at Tommy Smith, Roy Keane, Norman Hunter, Nobby Stiles, Billy Bremner, they all played in class teams and could rough up the opposition when required. Obviously Cattermole needs to pull his head in a bit and learn to think before he acts but I think O'Neil will sort him out. A good mate of mine is a strong Liverpool supporter and he tells me that a lot of their fan's wouldn't mind Catts in their team instead of Henderson, and I tend to agree.
