Silly old bat
That article has misquoted Poyet from the Football League Paper.
Palace would appear to have a very good scouting system in place (plus a massively overpopulated catchment area), but they turned him down.
Sheffield Wednesday famously turned down Cantona before Leeds. Mistakes happen.
All that is saying, is: 'We've had some interest in Liam, obviously. He's actually really really good so if you want him you're going to have to pay a fuckload. He's not for sale otherwise'
At least I hope so.
Alternatively what he's saying is:-
'Norwich, fook off you need some bloody big pockets before you even think about knocking on our door'.
That would be highway robbery - and the club would be bloody stupid to sell him for that.
Gus Poyet says Brighton star Liam Bridcutt could play for Real Madrid after Newcastle display | Metro News
I happen to agree with Gus but about this but I do wish he would stop drawing everyone's attention to Bridders. The fact that he had such good exposure on TV on Saturday was bad enough, without peddling his ability to every tin pot rag around. We want to keep him until 2015 at least - not sell him.
So if there are any other clubs out there interested in Bridcutt, I have a message for you - DO ONE.
Implies he is not good enough for Barcelona.
They didn't turn him down. They asked him to stay for another week. He declined saying he was a French international superstar.

Out of interest what is the biggest fee we have been paid for a player ?
I am guessing it is Zamora ?
Wasnt it reported that there was allegedly a slight problem, as regards Lee Chapmans wife? Or was that why he left Leeds for United? As they say mistakes happen we turned down Ian Wright

Relatively, it's Lawro. £900,000 back then would be about 2.5 million now.
