Who wanted to sell him?

I think people have wanted him to play at centre half for two seasons solid now. The previous manager didn't and the current one hasn't had the opportunity.

Heh heh, the same Cuellar that people on this site wanted to sell a matter of months ago, and now he is the messiah.  Fickleness personified.
You sure about that?

I used to think that the sight of Carlos at full back was quite depressing last season. This season I find that the sight of Warnock at full back is depressing and at least Carlos was defensively solid even if he had nothing to offer going forward. Carlos in for Dunne, where he should be. I'd give Licaj a crack at right back and put Luke back on the left until Warnock can find some confidence.

Whoever plays in the back 4 will need a bit more cover from midfield though, as they have been exposed badly in recent games.

How would Warnock find his confidence if he gets dropped.

Hmmm, I think widespread opinion in the summer was that Curtis Davies should be sold if we could get around £5m, sense being the other three were pretty solid and Ciaran Clark was ready to be 'centre-back No.4'.

In any case, there's nothing fickle about calling for Cuellar to start at CB. I'd say the central defensive situation has changed drastically in the last two months, from previously rock solid to near-shambles. Warrants a fit-again Cuellar to be recalled, IMO.

Wasn't the Cuellar debate mainly about the fact that he should've in a cb instead of rb?
  For what its worth,i always thought he was the cb at the club.

Probably about 2 people wanted rid but tar everyone with the same brush by all means.

MoetVillan,

Cuellar is a very good centre back, his first season wasn't great but he soon settled down and did well.

Most of the fuss was caused by that prick O'Neill playing him at Right Back.

Except that I don't remember anyone suggesting we sell Cuellar.

Nonsense personified.

We cannot be any worse in defence, so Carlos will definatly be an improvement.

Cueller showed avaunt wolves what we have been missing, that grit and gile to see a game out!

I'd sell him. If they were all fit and in form he's the worst CB we have but given his age and contract he's probably worth a few quid.

What? Davies and Clark are better than him now?

I sort of saw the logic in selling him in the Summer. He's shite at right back and if Dunne and Collins are the two then why keep someone on such big wages as third choice, especially when we went out of Europe.

But as an individual, he's arguably the best centre half we have. Him or Dunne when on top form, but we've not seen enough of Carlos there to judge.

He certainly deserves a run.

He's a player I've never taken to at all, slow, poor distribution and lacks presence. I'd play him on Saturday though and thats how much I think the other two have slipped.

He covered so much for Dunne and Collins last year that your opinion is distorted. It may be just coincidence but this season they have been shite because Carlos hasn't been there to cover their arses.
