Why did a premiership team not bid for Bridcutt?

[Silent Bob]

Exactly. He wins headers he has no right to given his height.

Yep, due to his immaculate positioning, timing, reading of the game. He's got a good leap too. He never gets knocked off the ball either. So his size doesn't count against him in the game. I would think it's still a minor point against him just because. The only other negative is he's still picked up a few bookings this season.

Tettey. And because Norwich seemed to want a forward called Hooper as well as Becchio.

A defensive midfielder is not going to save you from relegation or get you promoted, he doesn't score many or make many goals so maybe we overrate him and others underrate him ?

I think the bigging up of Liam (and others) also had an unsaid message of "and we don't need to sell so you can bugger off unless you want to pay silly money".

 

[Kumquat]

They did.

Reading £3-£3.5m

I'd be surprised if that is true.Leigertwood plays that role and has been class for them.

 

[Stat Brother]

Maybe someone did make a cheeky offer - and we told them to go forth and multiply.

Or he's sold and will be gone in the Summer.

It's not like TB hasn't got history of doing business, that way.

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

Why worry? Just be grateful he's still here and will be until the end of the season at least!

As we know Briductt is crucial to our system of play which not many other teams play so maybe premiership managers struggle to see where he would fit into their teams/systems? He is basically Gus' general who makes the team tick as Gus wants it too.

Im just delighted he's still here, he's the only player in our squad who is irreplaceable with the way we play.
