Why would Palace want Bridcutt? That'd be an admission by them that Jedinak isn't infact the best player in the country by a mile etc. Plus, Liam wouldn't go there to warm the bench.

He might leave, but not to them.

We like to play 2 holding midfielders in our system. Bridcutt would be a replacement for the inconsistent Dikgacoi.

What a complete and utter non-story. Any Premier League or Championship club that doesn't monitor every player in the top two divisions and beyond - especially one who has impressed at international level, as Bridcutt did on his debut for Scotland, isn't doing its job. "Thought to be", "tracking" and other vague phrases reveal this for the bollocks it is. What does "tracking" mean? They're following him from hotel-room to sun-lounger on his hols? Do me a favour ...

They've hired this bloke...

I think Palace clearly want Liam Bridcutt, but their fans seem to be quoting too low a fee.

I'm sure he'd jump at a chance to play in the Premier League, so the best outcome for us is a bidding war between Premier League teams, with Palace losing out.

£3 million upfront with another million based on Premiership and International apperances and maybe a 15% sell on fee. That would be fair IMO.

Rumours we turned down £5m from Southampton in January. You won't get him for a penny less than £6m IMO.

If £3m is "fair" for bridders then the world has actually gone mad

Hull and Cardiff are weighing up serious bids at around that level so a £3M offer for Liam will be laughed at if a phone call is made from SE25

Can't see you getting that to be honest. We only got £10 million for Zaha upfront, a player who is an amazing talent, 5 years younger, an England international and a forward thinking flair player (attacking players always go for way more money). He also still had 4.5 years to run on his contract compared to Bridcutt who has less than half of that.

Here we go again. I suppose you got this from your usual reliable source SoG? Can you honestly provide me a link to one of your past posts to show your source has been correct?

10 rising to 15m wasn't it?

I reckon we'll get £5m rising to £7m based on appearances and so on. Which is still cheap as chips compared to the mugs who signed Jordan Rhodes.

Quality costs, bridders a Scotland international rated as the best defensive mid outside the prem will not go cheap. Length of contract makes no difference so long as its more than a year. £3m dream on, if he goes it will be same as or more than the £5m offered 6 months ago.

What palace may think is 'fair' has nothing to do with his value. Value is based on what the highest bidder is prepared to pay, and what the selling club is prepared to let him go for.

There's likely to be a bidding war involving clubs with plenty of money to spend. Even if there wasn't, he is young, has 2 years left on his contract and, most importantly, has been excellent for us. Taking all that into account, you can guess that not going to let him go for as little as 3m. Dream on.

If you had read my full post you would have seen i added an extra million in add on's and also a sell on fee.

I suppose now Jedinak is a Premiership player this is true!

Does anyone know what we got for Noone in the end? I seem to remember we turned down 1.5m before accepting a higher offer. This is for a player that, although popular with fans, wasn't a regular starter and 1 of 3 players in a similar position. Demonstrates that we're not desperate for the cash if anything else.
