Worst game ever for us after the captaincy was taken away. It seems pretty obvious that he's going somewhere. He should have been the first one to be subbed today in my opinion.

He had a poor game. Looked like he was pulling out of some tackles. I was Dissapointed today with him.

He was the weakest of our midfielders today. I was surprised Crofts went off... Definitely not in the right frame of mind
Bridders had the captaincy at Blackpool on Sunday. Why didn't Calde take it for that game?

Naylor tweeted it was an oversight. In other words Garcia and jones forgot (or did not know) that calde was vice captain.

The FA Cup tie may be a better indicator of who may be on the way out and who may not want to be cup tied? Incidentally, does a non-playing sub become cup tied?

Wound't expect to see Bridcutt, or a few others for that matter, against Reading. Played all the Xmas games and could do with a break. I doubt Ulloa, Ward and maybe even Upson will start for the same reasons
You may well be right, but it still gets tongues wagging and therefore creates a debatable point worth pointing out.
I think he'll be off as soon as a fee is agreed, which I also believe will be undisclosed which will make all the speculation of his worth totally irrelevent.

Yep. Immense in his time with the Albion, but was the opposite today. He played awfully in every possible aspect of his game.
Sunderland are probably doomed IMO, so if he does want PL football and the money that comes with it, he should move to another PL club. In addition, Sunderland already have enough hardworking CM's.
We don't have any worth their salt. If Bridcutt is a good player we need him, and now. Our only midfielder who deserves to be called a footballer is Ki, and he doesn't belong to us, he's on loan from Swansea City. Poyet isn't exaggerating when he says we lack quality, he's putting it mildly.
I'm pig-sick of 'undosclosed fees' - why can't the FA man-up and say, 'Right, if you want to register this transfer, you'll have to declare the fee paid and we will publish it - otherwise we won't register the transfer'?

Bridcutt didnt have his best game today, but there a lot of misplaced passes today by others, not only Liam.
There was certainly a few 50/50 balls that he didnt make, but there was a few he went in for 100%
We sit in the stands and maybe dont appreciate how strong the wind was at pitch level, and also how heavy and slow the pitch was with all the recent rainfall.
The telling sign for me was at the end, as Liam walked around the pitch, clapping the stands, the big screen focused on him for a long time, as if it was a farewell sign.
I wish him well, he has been superb, but I hope we get 3.5/4 million, as IMHO he is worth it

Don't make excuses for him. Every player was in the same boat as him regarding the Christmas period. He's just had a couple of games where he hasn't performed well, but hopefully this isn't unrest from a player who wants to leave. Lets hope we keep him until the summer.

Would you like your wages open to public view?
It's TB that works like this. If a fee isn't kept private then he pretty much pulls out of deals. I have heard that this was the reason that Glenn Murray didn't return to us 18 months ago, due to the fact that CP wanted us to look daft by us paying the amount that TB was prepared to pay to get him back and therefore leaving TB and the club with egg on their faces by disclosing the amount. Tony told them to shove it. Glenn didn't play in their opening fixtures that season because he had thrown his toys out of the pram over it all. He then went on to have a great season for them up until he got injured, which I partly believe was his way of saying up yours to both clubs.
I may have got this totally wrong but I have no reason to doubt the person that told me all this info.
He didnt play that badly today! Our recent shape and attacking transitional game has narrowed considerably,(trying to emulate Barcelona). This style only suits top players with ability to consistantly win the ball,beat players and then pass to players of similar ability ,awareness and movement in really tightly spaced areas.We dont have any capable of playing this way! Tactics, formation and shape are wrong at the moment!
