Swallow pride, take the hit..........that's a real defensive midfielder......yeah he gets booked...but forwards are shit scared of him and he can play too.

Canny appreciate the situation is serious however I will take some convincing Newcastle are in such dire straits (Boom! Boom!) to require the services of another Yellow/Red card suspension collecting nutter like Clattermole. He will not frighten the life out of opposition midfielders or forwards sitting in the stand.
Guess my pride will have to remain intact for a while longer.

Realize the dangers Litening , but I think worth the risk.......watched him again yesterday....he was brilliant (alone),controlled aggression and timing the lot........then as he realized he was alone, and had no teammates in defence with him he was trying to play all defensive positions and got frustrated and we saw the worst of him(he also got badly injured but carried on regardless).
If he played for us, he would have defensive support, and his attitude is as infectious as Nitro.
He is David Batty on speed, something we haven't had since then....a midfield destroyer.

Possibly with any other Owner you may have had an outside chance of seeing it happen, however with Penfold looking after Mikey's interests for me it's extremely unlikely to say the least. Mind you it would certainly cause a stir and go down as one of the most controversial moves between the Clubs in the history of the game. Wonder if they would do a straight swap for Tiote?

Alphonse has retired so that may explain why you haven't had a feel for a while....
Now to answer your main question...umm!
On his day Clattermole can turn a game by winding up his fellow players and not giving opponents an inch. However he is also always one bad tackle away from a card or spitting his dummy out when things go against him with officials. Don't get me wrong as he is fully committed to the cause unlike some of the mercenary buggers we have in our team. Yes there's the odd moment when I think hey this lad isn't all bad, but regretfully I see him as someone that most games just goes around kicking opponents and not much else.
As a straight yes/no answer...it's a NO!
