    Not in Anderlecht squad for their win yesterday. Was he injured? Bad time to pick one up, all though maybe he was just wrecked and rested, schedule had been pretty unreal over last 10 days (played for Anderlecht on Sunday night before flying to Serbia for Wed game).

    IIRC he was sent off for 2 yellows in the game just before the international window so may have been suspended.

    You're right, forgot about that. Guess he could do with the break.

    Also, he'd have to quarantine coming back from Int. duty, unless he's got an exemption. probable though.

    How's he playing at the moment does anyone know? They got knocked out by Vitesse in Europe, and their league form seems patchy. They sold a midfielder to Arsenal for big money so at least Cullen getting plenty of game time.

    I've watched all of his games bar Vitesse on Thursday and Genk yesterday. He's played well up to that, and is first choice in the middle of the pitch. He's moving with the ball in possession more this season from what I can see. Vocally organising those around him (the dreaded pointing) but seems to be a leader from what I've seen.

    I’ve watched a couple of league games this season. Seems he plays a fairly disciplined holding role and primarily aims to show for the ball and then move it quickly to more skilled attacking players. It’s nothing spectacular but it’s very functional and effective.

    He should be a nailed on starter for us at this point, probably as the deepest lying midfielder.

    TeamTalk had noted that Sheffield United and Fulham were both keen on Cullen, who next season will be in the last year of his contract at Anderlecht. GiveMeSport claim (10 April) that no less than 6 PL clubs are monitoring him, not least his former club West Ham! But perhaps a club in mainland Europe would be a better move for him -if indeed he wants to leave Kompany's team.

    Its grim that a player of his quality is being linked with Sheffield United or Fulham

    I think Fulham would be fine, they'll be a decent EPL outfit next season. He shouldn't be going anywhere near the Championship though, so unless Sheffield United get promoted I think they can hopefully forget it.

    Realistically a Championship team will potentially pay him more than Anderlecht but he's a Premier League standard player.

    Once upon a time playing for Ireland would have given players a positive profile and helped to get them a transfer to a higher level. That's no longer the case. He has performed brilliantly for us, but somehow that doesn't automatically register with PL managers in the way it might in the past. Similarly, I doubt whether Ogbene is on anyone's radar or whether Knight or others will get a move as a result of performing well in an Ireland shirt.

    As much as we'd like him to continue his continental adventure, he's a former Prem academy player a club from a development league took a punt on so a payday contract will be on his mind, as will probably wanting to prove himself in England ( rightly or wrongly, it could be in his head ) So we might end up fairly underwhelmed on here, with the move but he's 26, needs to make the real money now if its there for him.

    Fair point on the money side, but Id hate to see him go somewhere and not play

    Eh? Once upon a time the PL couldn't take its pick of any player in the world. Cullen has already been at a PL club and didn't make the grade. He's still good enough for Ireland and maybe he will get a move back to the PL but saying that him playing for Ireland is holding him back is a bit strange. What do you mean?

    Ogbene's manager disagrees with you by the way. He joked that his Irish performances were "a disaster" for Rotherham due to the interest that would result him now.

    Maybe I'm missing the point you're trying to make?

    The money in England now means the league is more competitive than ever - bottom feeding premiership clubs can go to toe-to-toe with anyone who wouldn't make the cut for a European superleague for players. Meanwhile, we have sunk to 47th in the FIFA rankings. If we're a leading team, big teams will pay heed to our players. We're not a leading team.

    well that obviously because the level of talent in the PL is at a level its never been at before. the amount of players available to clubs compared to 20 years ago is incomparable.
