Bridcutt Wants Contract Decided Now

[Barrel of Fun]

El-Abd is contracted until Summer 2012 isn't he? Edit: My mistake - I thought his offer was longer than 18 months. El-Abd looks long term From The Argus)

I'd give Bridcutt more than a year - he has been a great acquisition.

I would give him a 1 year contract with a 2nd year option based on appearrances etc, which covers both sides, him and us.

Am i alone in thinking Bridcutt is a better option than Nav?

i think all these players being out of contract is the ONE thing that can distract us from promotion this season...its worrying

No you're not. Bridcutt is an absolute gem of a player who could prove to be as important to us in the long term as some of the great Albion midfielders of days past.

 

[SirElliotBennett]

imo he will only be a back up for navs... so will he be content on the bench next season? if so give him an 18 month contract!!!
good player tho, so hope he stays

I think he is a bit differant to Navs. Liam's a bit more creative where's Navaro is a bit better defensivly.

Bridcutt is only 21 though, and improving and gaining experience all the time. At 28(?) Navarro is pretty much at his peak now, don't think there's much improvement to come. Also, don't forget how long it took Nav to get going when he first arrived. I don't think he'll be back to full fitness until the beginning of next season with a full pre season under his belt. If we're in the Championship I'm not sure he can play at that level, whereas I think Bridcutt has the potential to make the step up...

I think Navarro is a better player than a lot of people are remembering him as.

 

[Napper]

Bridcutt is good but not the football genius many on here think. He still gives the ball away really cheaply too often for my liking. He's good enough to get at least another year though.

agree , when he is good he is excellant . Can go missing a fair bit as well.

Worth a year I'd say.

A fit Navarro is a better player I think

 

[Gritt23]

Is it wise to go public and be seen to be pushing Gus? Nicky Forster springs to mind

That was my immediate reaction. He wasn't with us last year so maybe doesn't realise how the Forster situation played out.

Hope not, as he looks a decent prospect to me.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

OGH is out of contract at the end of the season too.

Name rings a bell. Didn't he used to play for the Albion?

 

[Mellotron]

Am i alone in thinking Bridcutt is a better option than Nav?

For me it's hard to say as Navarro was in excellent form towards the end of last season, however I think Bridcutt will definitely go on to a higher level than Navarro will ever reach, better player all round.

2 year deal. Young and ideal replacement for Kish. If we don't sign him up now he will be able to talk to other clubs and, if we lose him, will have to pay a considerable amount for a replacement player of the same calibre. Certainly good enough for the championship and will get better.

 

[BLOCK F]

Liam deffo worth a contract and I hope Navs will come back as good as he was but that cannot be taken for granted after an ACL problem.

 

[samtheseagull]

Who else is out of contract with him? There must be a few to sort out. If we go up, there is also the potential to buy better than what we have, which means if they did sign a new deal, they may not play any way

Glenn Murray
Radostin Kishishev
Adam El Abd
Jamie Smith

al abd has still got a year left i think

Really mate, what do you know

 

[bellsize seagull]

cracking passer of the ball and drops and playes from deep, just needs to go forward a little more at times !

 

[sir albion]

He plays reguarly for us so im baffled to why he's not been offered a contract,worth a 3 year contract given his age.
