Whelan didn't want to sell him, it was down to the backhanded tactics of Steve Bruce keep saying he wanted to sign Cattermole even though Whelan and Martinez said on numerous occasions he wasn't for sale, in the end it unsettled him and it was Cattermole who wanted to leave.

We have enough midfield players to not miss Cattermole plus they doubled what they paid for him a year ago so not bad business, plus add the fact I'm not 100% that Cattermole is the type of player that would fit into what Martinez is all about as he prefers a passing type game were Cattermole doesn't fit into that type of team. Can't wait for 28th November, not so much in Cattermole's position but they will be crying for Bruce's blood when Sunderland come visiting.
