Because we can afford him?
(our money pot is unlikely to be limitless and we may wish to spend what we have elsewhere)
(also, how can a free transfer depreciate in value?)
We can afford Guthrie I'd rather pay £3million for a quality player under 25 than get a player for free who will be finished in 2 years.
Because he's willing to come here?
(who is to say Guthrie would come here?)
Newcastle reserves or Leicesters first team, tough one isn't it :icon_roll
Because he's a free agent and therefore not at a club who may not wish to sell him?
(who is to say Guthrie is available for transfer?)
Any Club would be prepared to sell a player whos over 21 and not a first team regular, why should we sign a player because their available on a free, shall we try and persuade Paul Scholes out of retirement aswell
Because Sven thinks he fits into his system better?
(and he's the one picking the team, not you)
Guthries loads better than Danns, you ask Mourinho, Guardiola, Villas-Boas who they'd rather have out the two and it would be Guthrie everytime, yea and from the some of the signings he's making it seems as if he's starting to go senial in his old age and maybe back in October when Sousa was sacked, Dan Petrescu, Tito Vilanova or Luis Enrique would have been better replacements and wouldn't touch pieces of shit like Peltier and Danns with a bargepole!
I don't know the answer. You don't know the answer. Please stop.
