Liam Bridcutt - Interesting Quote from a Burnley Fan

[chunky44]

Paul Scholes indeed, just keeps bangin out the performances....understated but class all the way.

Sound like a great performance today, listened with interest deep in the depths of darkest Sussex wishing I was there....

Bridcutt basically pulls the string for the whole midfield, and I love the way him and Crofts have started switching roles fluidly. One comes forward and the other drops back into the defensive role. It's just wonderful.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Head mental that we only got him because navs did his knee

Quite. We may have never looked. Amazaballs!

 

[tubbyaldrich]

consistently good performances week in week out and does something every game rarely has a quiet 90 mins

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

BHA legend and the lynchpin of our team.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Gunnarsson for Cardiff basically man marked him when we played them at the Amex and we looked a lot less fluent.

Totally agree

 

[Surport Local Team]

Vicente is the first name on the teamsheet. Then crossed out a few seconds later.

lol , that made me chuckle

 

[Gonzo]

No doubt Norwich will be sniffing around before long.

I think he is class, but in my opinion half a yard short of pace.

And a foot too small. But then he wouldn't be playing for us.

We must be watching a different player because as far as I can see, neither could be further from the truth. He's deceptively quick and often gets to 50/50 balls first, and for a guy of what, 5'9(?), he wins a ridiculous amount in the air. Will never forget him beating Zigic in the air when defending a free kick at Birmingham away.

My main worry is that (I think!) his contract is up at the end of the 2014 season - come January with only 18 months left on his deal I wonder whether clubs will look to try and mug us off for around £2m. We need him tied down to a proper 4 year deal, in and amongst the highest earners if necessary so it takes nearer £4-5m before we even think about it, because the metronome-type quality and defensive reliability he brings to the team allows the flair players around him to create the chances and the full-backs the opportunity to get forward. Legend in the making IMO.

I was being facetious. He is a stunning player.

You're right, i'm sure a lot of premier clubs have looked at him. He does the simple really well, the metronome of the team. I really enjoy watching play.

 

[Marxo]

It would be great if by january 1st we were in a very good league position with a good chance of promotion, then maybe all our players would be motivated to stay

My bad, woosh moment...

 

[catfish]

He does the unspectacular spectacularly well.

We are watching the same player, like i said he's class, but a top six premier league player... he ain't!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Absolutely outstanding player. Best midfielder in the Championship and I am astonished a Premier league team haven't taken him. He's been our best player for almost two seasons now.

 

[SWCspider-man]

You can see that he was made to watch Claude Makelele (one of my favourite ever players) hen Chelsea won thier Titles, Makelele was the constant presence in the team allowing the attacking players to run riot.

 

[Buck]

"If I was manager I'd get the video and get them to watch their number 26 in midfield - bircott or something. Nothing extraordinary, just 90 minutes of show for the ball, pass and move to receive the ball again. Not rocket science but he had an outstanding game in the simplest of ways, unlike our lads who spent most of the day looking at each other wondering if they should be pressing etc or their team mate".

Bircott - another masterstroke signing by Gus!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Bridcutt is absolutely superb and should be playing in the prem,I think he is our most valuable player.
