It was a strange bid from Sunderland. Bridcutt for £2.5 million sounds like a reasonable starting bid, but Buckley at £1.75 million was miles underpriced. I think Buckley is their real target!
I think Lee Catermole is better than Bridcutt in the same position. Not much to choose between them.
Buying a talented player off-form gets a player cheap and that is the best policy if you are budget conscious. Getting rid of Buckley at any price would be suicide.
