Bridcutt sold £3.25million. (with Sunderland kit picture)

[Marshy]

3 million is an excellent price

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

3m is daylight robbery!!

 

[Icy Gull]

3m is daylight robbery!!

For a player who has lost interest?

 

[James Bond's body double]

Sky now saying 2.5!!!!

Sky Sports sources understand that Sunderland have reached an agreement with Brighton for midfielder Liam Bridcutt. It is believed that a £2.5million deal is in place and that Bridcutt will undergo a medical on Thursday afternoon.

For a player who has lost interest?

And is a defensive midfielder who has never played above our league? I thought £4m was an AMAZING deal. £3m is a fair deal if he's going to be a pain in the arse.

Is this a dutch auction? It's getting smaller by the minute

 

[LamieRobertson]

shud be down to a set of tracksuits by end of day

 

[shaolinpunk]

By the time it's announced he'll have cost them a twix and a pack of gum

 

[grummitts gloves]

Sky say its 2.5 million. Medical today. Too cheap!! Hopefully some add ons??

 

[Soulman]

Gone 2.5m

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

And people thought we'd get £5m

 

[Old Greg]

That's pathetic, player of the season for 2 years. & now wait for the announcement to appease supporters... Seagulls sign Dale Stephens. Exciting!

And people thought we'd get £5m

End of the day the bloke didn't want to play for us anymore. No point keeping hold of him. £2.5M, wish we had got a bit more. That's life.

 

[fleet]

£4m sounded decent, £2.5 doesn't sound great given the price that others players are going for

 

[Hotchilidog]

And people thought we'd get £5m

I never thought we'd get £5m even if I think he was worth that. I would however have thought £3m would have been a reasonable compromise to get the deal done. In my view this is a low price, but if it does enable us to complete other deals then I can live with it.

Given that Bridcutt has had his heart elsewhere for most of the season and we need to get on with bringing players in I suppose Sunderland had the upper hand in the end.

 

[HantsSeagull]

i refuse to believe we sold for 2.5m

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Sky say its 2.5 million. Medical today. Too cheap!! Hopefully some add ons??

If the fee is undisclosed , Sky will say it is the last known bid that was turned down. When we sold Dobbie to Palace the fee changed about 8 times , ranging between £350k to £1.5M before ending up as £850k.

 

[Simster]

2.5m?

From what I hear, that isn't the overall package.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

2.5m or 4m? The likelihood is probably somewhere in the middle and dependent on add-ons, i.e. Sunderland stay in the league, number of appearances etc.
