Guest CabayeAye Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 He's playing well, he knows he's backup, he isn't costing much. Round peg for a round hole if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Always thought he was a canny footballer, hence why Keegan went for him, but in the prem he looked like he needed way too much time on the ball and physically was going to be knocked around by everyone with ease. If whatever Pardew and his coaches have done with Guthrie has sorted him out a bit in terms of strength and physicality and he can maintain it, then i don't think he's bad back up like Dr Gloom said.

OTF 6188 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Can make a pass and hit a shot. Has improved his mobility of late, as to whether that's to do with being off-contract soon remains to be seen. Like others I don't have an issue with this move. Good time to get it done while he's performing in the first team. With all players fit he's obviously on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 He's not an awful squaddie if he can keep his current level. As he's on tiny wages I dont mind us keeping him and spend money on other parts of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 His recent performances have changed my opinion, decent back up and doubt he will be on a massive wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4889 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 He has always been a 'footballer'. Just lacked a yard of pace and a bit of strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Doubtful as to whether we can find better players on a similar wage willing to benchwarm. Keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Dont think you can really get a player who's better than Guthrie and is willing to benchwarm whilst waiting for a chance and he's proven he can do reasonably well, this season and last. when needed as a replacement for a few games.
