if we have to downsize though then I think its understandable to want to get rid of Tettey

he's a reasonable player most of the time, but he has been the main defensive midfielder in front of a very leaky defence for the last couple of seasons, so he's certainly not indispensable. And as one of the big earners, he's not really giving us great value for money if we have to cost-cut. Which is probably why no-one else wants him.

        Because he's our best defensive midfielder (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 20, 13:51:05

        He's out of contract end of the season. May as well play him (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 20, 13:15:03
- Don't agree (NCFC) - trianglepatch, Aug 20, 12:31:51
- I genera I don't think so although im hindsight a couple of players might have helped. And (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 20, 12:03:13
- Don't understand this about face (NCFC) - CauldRon, Aug 20, 12:00:31

    - That's the thing though (NCFC) - CauldRon, Aug 20, 13:06:57

        Maybe some targets failed, some irons still in the fire (NCFC) - CauldRon, Aug 20, 13:26:17
        
        He doesn't have much choice does he ? With Klose and Pinto injured there are no other (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 20, 13:44:15
  - I agree. Last season our squad was thought of as (NCFC) - Azteca, Aug 20, 12:06:38
    - That's not whaT I'm saying at,you simply can't successfully integrate that many players (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 20, 12:14:49
      - All. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 20, 12:16:44
  - I agree with the moving on of the defenders and keepr but the rest maybe not. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Aug 20, 12:02:03
    - The rest who didn't want to be here anyway? (n/m) (NCFC) - CauldRon, Aug 20, 12:03:16
