Reading, Villa, Fulham target Bridcutt

[clippedgull]

Paper talk this morning:

Reading are favourites to land Brighton's Liam Bridcutt ahead of Aston Villa and Fulham.

Newly promoted Royals are preparing a £2 million bid for the midfielder, 23

================================================

Argus:

All Gus's No.1 targets are still available but he is in no rush to make signings.

"I'm talking about the No.1 targets in our situation, within our budget, in our league. They are still there.

But I'm not going to sign anyone just for the sake of making a signing."

He HATES Reading FC - He told me himself!

 

[Max Paper]

Don't go Liam

 

[Captain Haddock]

Reading can do one. Villa (Lambert our stalker again) and Fulham can join them in the task.

True he does not have much affiliation to Reading despite being born and brought up around there.

Then again one good season in the Prem is one step away to a possible return to his beloved Chelsea.

Only if we bring in Bailey from Boro..

£2m isn't enough, we should be valuing out assets higher than that.

Don't worry the stories source was from The Sun

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Bridcutt is our best player and my favourite player. He is worth £ 4 000 000 presently. If he goes I will be supremely f***ed off.

Who are usually accurate with their rumours and probably the best of all of the papers for accuracy on football transfer rumours.

 

[KLUNK]

I for one am very concerned about this. There must be some truth in this. But £2K?? He is worth more than that,surely?

It's bad enough with the uncertainty of Gus staying as manager. Now this. Not ideal preparations ahead of pre season. :-(

One thing that Palace seem to do well is talk up the value of their players.

Liam is worth £7m

 

[AMEXican Wave]

Hopefully we are not selling anyone until after we have brought other players in.

 

[Stat Brother]

He's not going to get much of a look in with Vicente, Seedorf, and Gattuso, feeding Drogba.

Take the cash.

 

[BensGrandad]

I want Bridcutt to stay but if Gus can get big money for him and unearth another gem similar to him I could accept that.

I very much hope he is worth more than that, I am worth more than that and I dont have a right foot, a bloddy good left peg, but shite right.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

If someone's prepared to pay WAY over the odds- I'm talking £5m-7m- then it might be worth taking the money. Unless I've been misled, the club doesn't need £2m as much as it needs Liam Bridcutt.

I wouldn't blame him if he went, though. I'd be gutted, but I can understand his wanting to play in the Premiership, he's got a great future ahead of him. I just hope he doesn't go to Reading.

 

[leigull]

I am surprised it took all season before Bridcutt has really been linked with Prem clubs. He's worth more than £2m to us so I would be very disappointed if he went for that - £3m-£4m and it would test Poyet's/Bloom's resolve

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

depends if the player wants to go - I do not want him to leave and would like more than 2M for him, but the offfer does sound about right.

 

[BensGrandad]

Gus has always said he will not hold a player back from bettering himself as in Croft and Bennett.
