He's a good player, Gustavo likes him and knows his game...if you go down he'll be an asset if you stay up he'll be an asset...there really isn't a down side to this.
Well that may well be true for the clubs concerned. But there's certainly a downside for Bridcutt if he signs a long contract at Sunderland and they get demoted. Where does that leave his self confessed Premier aspirations? Especially if we get promoted and he finds himself looking upwards to his former teammates. It's a gamble for him, though maybe he thinks that he might make the difference at Sunderland. But there is quite a step up to the Prem and plenty of Championship stars don't make the grade.
Black Cat supporters are quite fanatical and won't give him an easy ride if he doesn't deliver, considering their recent frustrations.
