Cuellar-Why are we not keeping him?

[kipeye]

Surely I am not the only one who think Carlos is our best Centre half and equal to anyone else we have as a full back?
I cannot understand why we are not doing everything to make him stay and getting rid of Collins and possibly Dunne.
Anyone got the inside track on this-or is it simply that no-one rates him above the others in the squad?

[manic-road]

Why would he want to stay when he can hardly get a game, also when he doe's it's usually at right back.

[TheSandman]

I'd get shot of pretty much any of our defenders before Carlos (with the exception of Clark) but it seems that successive managers haven't rated him so I don't think he'll be staying.

Carlos Cuellar - Why ?
Add it to the previous questions of Luke Young - Why ? or Gary Cahill - Why ?

[Damo70]

AM was quoted a couple of weeks back saying he was open minded about keeping him. Trouble is, if he's not playing Cuellar won't be open minded about staying.

[boboonthecorner]

Probably because the manager and board don't have the slightest idea of what they are doing. Aren't they about to let Delph go back to Leeds? I bet Leeds don't have to pay us 500k for the pleasure of loaning him for the rest of the season. On one hand they're talking about lowering costs then they borrow a past it striker who is costing an arm and a leg. Fucking clueless, all of them.

To be fair Carlos was injured when AM first got here and then picked up another knock at Chelsea, just being back on the bench against Everton.  So, have there been all that many games where he's been available and not picked this season?

[Legion]

Where has it been written or confirmed that we are looking at selling him?

[Chris Smith]

Look at his attempt, or lack of it, to stop Routledge scoring the other week and you might get an idea. When the ball comes back off the post he just stands and watches.

I know that's just one incident but even Warnock at his worst would have tried to block it.

if we look to get rid of any defender who makes an error we'd never have a defence.  Carlos is a good player.

He's ok, nothing more. He's benefitting from "more games he misses better player he is" syndrome.

[Merv]

If we don't keep him, it's probably because he's third choice centre-back and second/third choice right-back. Personally, I think our defence looks stronger for him being in it, but he's consistently been overlooked for a CB slot almost since the day he got here, so it wouldn't be a total surprise to see him go.

He'll be on a free in the summer and 30 years old, so he won't be short of offers, I'm sure.

Correct.

How much did the messiah pay for him again?

[Phil from the upper holte]

I thought we'd established were selling him because he runs like a girl???
