Apologies if already posted - it's in the BBC gossip column - I haven't put a link cause it's a subscription site (the sun) so don't know how bollocks it is. Thoughts?

It is discussed on the Carrillo thread.
I think he's a) an upgrade on Whelan and b) a bit of a reformed character on and off the pitch in the past 2 years.
I'd have him although £6 million looks a bit steep.

Surely we should be looking for better than Cattermole ffs I'd play Sidwell before Cattermole. This is probably old news anyway, we were apparently after him a while ago. Gouranga.

Sports journalists can be dead lazy. Be interesting to see the article though if anyone subscribe to the sun

Jesus wept ! - another one
surely to god - we should be looking for better than this now -given where we are - what we've achieved and, what we can afford ?
Im thinking more Charlie Austin -actually - a proven goalscorer

Thought that Cattermole was a punt from the Pulis era not Hughes. Not a player I would have in any team.

More to his game than the suspensions and dirty tackling, has vastly improved his passing and is the only real leader at the club atm. He's still in his 20's so arguably has time to improve further, good player overall.

That would be about as daft as buying Charlie Austin as a Glen Whelan upgrade!

Not for me , I'm not actually sure he's an upgrade on glen , the only way I'd be happy if it was a nominal fee or a free !

I've not seen enough of him to comment other than to say that not so long back people were touting him for an International call up.
Do I think we could do better? If it's £5m again then I'd say yes. If we could make-weight a deal with Sunderland with a nominal fee plus player swap/s then I'd take him. If nothing else he'd be an upgrade on Whelan.

The Mackems always think very highly of him and what he brings to the team ....
Rather similar to what we heard about Collins,Jones , Whitehead , Jones & Bardsley .....make of THAT what you will .
But surely his only role in the current Stoke squad would be to keep Sidwell company ??

Too many FM15 players on here
He'd be an excellent signing to cover that position .....I'm not quite sure what players they realistically expect us to sign ?

It was the point mate , nothing against the way the players I mention performed once they arrived at the Britannia in general , but a couple of them arrived after being named 'Sunderland Fans player of the year' , and we certainly didn't see THAT in any of them. We do seem to use them in the past as a feeder club ( or they use us as an elephants grave yard , depending on your view ) but I really couldn't see Catermole as an improvement on what we have , not in a position we seem to have well covered . But then seeing the source material of the rumour , it is probably as current and pertinent as a rumour linking us with Zamora or Cole

Apart from Collins, who they loved.

Lakeland Err - UMM who suggested we buy Cattermole as a centre forward ?
Signing Lee Cattermole would be like replacing Glenn Whelan - with a slightly younger and somewhat madder - Glenn Whelan - we can do much, much better
- thats my point
and Austin is an example - featured on another thread

Talking of Sunderland fans ....did you see all the empty seats at the Stadium of shite yesterday ? ... And I'm not talking about early leavers , at kick off there were 1,000s of empty seats , strange that the win against their deadly rivals last week and the big push for survival hasn't generated a ground swell of sell out crowds or interest. Also after the recent home capitulations against Palace & Villa the fans are almost looking to turn on the players. .
They really do seem to be the team that may implode when the pressure is really on and seem destined to sink without a fight , and unlike previous seasons I don't think the Britannia relegation charity ,is open for business this year .

Too aggressive. He's rated at 20 for aggression.
I'd rather we signed Mark Kerr from Falkirk.

We need a GOALKEEPER !!!! In fact, we have to sign TWO GOALKEEPERS, one of whom could be Bego. That will take a hefty sum out of the war chest.

Bit of a head case in the past, but since he lost that part of his game seems to have become a nothing player. Can't see he is an upgrade on Whelan.
