Exactly and when he leaves and we get stuck with a bargain basement replacement , his constant critics on here will be shown up for the footballing ignorants they are.

Awful defender - yeh that's how Wales got through to the Euro finals!

Amazing really how they managed to do that by consistently playing our awful defender and shyte striker.

I've said that (re Karacan) a few times on here. He played at right back once as far as I can recall, at Millwall in the promotion season. I still believe that was the best game he had.

To be fair Wales are pretty awful - they had a fairly weak group and relied heavily on Bale and Ramsay .... other than that they are pretty average.

Well he's showed time and time again he isn't the quite right fit for us and how we play. We need a Liam Rosenior styled right back.

I don't care what he or anyone else for that matter does for Wales, he's fairly pants for us and that's all that interests me.

oxf*rd me. Of course I am, how are you surprised? You get people saying "he's mr reliable, he's mr consistent", I'll agree he's consistently shit.

His positioning is terrible, he never stops crosses coming in. The amount of goals we concede which come from our right side is ridiculous. He's decent between the boxes I'll give you that but offensively, one he gets into a good attacking position, his crossing is so oxf*rd bad it's untrue.

How is this up for the debate still?

I have never understood the Gunter hate. He has been one of our best players since he arrived and is consistently 6/7/or 8 out of 10 each week and those who say he is shit will get a big wake up call if we lose him and have to make do with what we have.

If the club accepted a knock down £500K that would be very bad business IMO. However, if someone needs RB and is willing to pay 1.5M or so I guess we couldn't blame the club for cashing is as it is doubtful he will sign a new contract. But then we need a replacement unless we think Keown/Long are ready to take over.

All opinions respected but what is it you think that he brings to the team that makes him a 6/7/8 out of 10 every week ?

If we can screw £1m out of someone (and with Hammond why the hell not) and be confident of signing a solid replacement, I would not give two oxf*rd if he left.

Great athlete, great work rate, seems like a really genuinely nice guy. Soft underbelly of physical commitment - I get the feeling he's just too 'nice', mediocre defender, mediocre passer, mediocre crosser.

Gunter out- Mariappa in?

First you guys bully Blackman out of the club, now you're after Gunts. Priceless.

What's priceless is thinking a professional footballer earning squillians of pounds can get "bullied" out of his job.

By people on an Internet site they probably don't read as well..

The problem with Gunter isn't that I think he's shit, he rarely has a bad game for me when I see him, it's that I expect more for someone of his experience. Over the last couple of years I've generally been more impressed with his Wales performances, and he's played centre-back at times in those games.

I think we'd miss him if he left though unless we signed a replacement.

Bring back Shaun Cummings?

Gunter's shit, but he isn't THAT shit.

(Cummings) Had some poor performances until his confidence was built up..then had some bloody good ones.


It's easier to follow the cliche's and herds on here...and then criticise mind

Akpan's having a decent season with Blackburn

Average championship player. Should be replaceable.
