It doesn't look like Lucas is being sold so there's little point discussing potential replacements.
As for Cattermole, I quite liked him in his Boro days in a fiery, 'I'm young and I'm going to kick you' kinda way. But I know little about him as an actual footballer and haven't seen him much for Wigan.

Yeah he looks not too bad but I'd much rather Noble as a replacement for Lucas, he's a class act

He sounds like a children's super hero. Part cat, part mole. Useless.

Liverpool lurk as Sunderland's Cattermole bid fails
By Sam Wallace
Saturday, 11 July 2009
Sunderland have had a bid for the Wigan Athletic midfielder Lee Cattermole rejected but the player is attracting interest from higher up the Premier League and there could be yet more pressure to sell.
Liverpool are understood to have considered a move for Cattermole in the event of Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano leaving, a prospect that looks less likely after Rafael Benitez took a defiant stance about their contracts on Thursday.
However, Cattermole, who looked effective for the England Under-21s in last month's European championships where Stuart Pearce's side reached the final before losing to Germany, is attracting a lot of interest.
The former Middlesbrough midfielder was the subject of a bid, thought to be of around £8m, from Bruce, who brought him to Wigan last summer. Cattermole is relatively experienced in the Premier League for a 21-year-old and his English nationality puts a premium on him with the prospect of the "4+4" quotas the Premier League is considering introducing.
Bruce, who is close to a deal for Fraizer Campbell of Manchester United, has also lodged a firm interest in the Portsmouth striker Peter Crouch, valued at around £15m by his club. He is waiting to hear from the player who has also had interest from Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. The willingness of Sunderland to pay higher wages is making them significant players in the transfer market.
On Cattermole, Wigan manager Roberto Martinez said: "Lee is not for sale. End of story. He is a fantastic player, a leader on and off the field, and is central to our plans going forwards. We are not interested in selling him, which was why this offer was rejected immediately.
"It is not usually our style to discuss incoming or outgoing transfers until they are completed, but we have made an exception in this case because I feel so strongly about keeping Lee, along with all my best players. He is one of many talented players. Let's forget about this now and move on."

This has to be speculative bullshit. Fuck me I'd rather play Spearing.

I remember someone else started a thread about him recently and I said I likec him in a 'run around and kick people' kinda way, but I thought Wigan was, for now, about he's level. I stand by that, because I've seen nothing to suggest he has the quality to replace either Xabi or Mascherano
Squiggles - twas I that said I liked him when discussing options for the January window:
http://sixcrazyminutes.com/forums/index.php?topic=29039.0
Almost everyone shot me down. Ryan's below but I think only Brendan had a good word to say about him
I still like him as 4th behind SG, Xabi & Masher.
However that said I also think Spearing has a lot going for him too and I'd like to see him given more playing time even if it's only coming on for 20 minutes here and there. He is aggressive, picks a great pass and is always looking to go forward.

A load of bollocks methinks.
Dear god i hope not. I'd have him ahead of lucas, but not as a replacement for xabi or masch.
We have to face up to the fact - 'coz it IS a fact - that either Masher or Xabi will be massively hard to replace. If equivalent players even exist, they're going to be prohibitively priced, unwilling to move, or both. Any replacements will be of lesser quality almost by definition and will involve upheaval throughout our set-up, as other players - notably Stevie - have to change their game to help fill the gaps.
With that in mind, I wouldn't be against signing Cattermole for the right fee. I think he's good enough to be at least a squaddie for us and has the potential to become better still.

Good little player, if a little unfashionable with the big club gloryhunters. We want players with exotic names...damn you!!
Yeah- when I pay for my giant foam hand and jester hat, I expect to be entertained by someone whose name ends in -ez, or perhaps -ic.

Good point. But if we lose quality in the form of Masher or Xabi, then we will have to replace them with similar or better quality in the starting eleven. It doesn't have to be like for like. If we lose Masher and sign a brilliant left winger with the fee difference, then Catermole could be the Darren Fletcher for us.

Whelan's said today that Cattermole's not going anywhere, which suggests it'll take even more than £10 mill.to prise him away from Wigan. At that price, no thanks.
i wouldn't go over £5M.
