Yes, which quality striker can we get for just £3m though?
We got Ulloa for 2m. I'm sure that Burke has kept tabs on a number of strikers around the world that none of us have the first clue about.

Bridcutt has been half the player since Gus left.
His role is more of an EPL role, and as one of the better teams in the championship, we have less need for a defensive midfielder - but a bottom half EPL team really need someone like him.
We are on the front foot most of the time, so Ince is the perfect replacement.
£4m, no less, then sell.
With the money,get Barnes,Ince and PIG to resign,
Take 3ml for Bridcutt. With the money,get Barnes,Ince and PIG to resign,buy Conway and get a young striker on loan (with a view to purchase )
I wonder if this news is something like a deal being agreed between bridcutt and Sunderland (perhaps unofficially, through back channels and totally not anything like trapping up) and that has been leaked and reported as everything being done or close to done, but the two clubs have yet to agree a fee, so as far as e Albion are concerned nothing has changed, but as soon as they do agree on a fee the deal will go through quickly.

We don't need to sell. Why would we cave-in so quickly? £4M or Gus can **** right off.
Don't the clubs have to agree first!?
It's not caving in if someone offers the correct fee.
Surely if an offer is made and it's enough to let him go then it is FAR more wise to have the money NOW and have 3 weeks to decide where to try and re-invest it?
The later in the widow you do the business, the higher the fee.
Re-sign shurely...
From Bridcutt's personal point of view:
- on the plus side:
* he gets loads more money
* he gets to play in the Premier for half a season
- on the minus side
* he's playing for a team likely to lose many more than they win
* he ends up back in the Championship next season
* he leaves the delights of Brighton, Hove and Sussex for the sh1t-hole that is Sunderland in one of the most economically deprived parts of the UK
I guess money talks the loudest.
