What most are overlooking s that Yes he would be an improvement as a back up squad player but what about Richie Towell?
What about him? Plays a different position.

Andy Naylor has tweeted that there's no truth in the rumour and it's hard to see where he'd fit in.

Just being a little devils advocatey here but:-
'Liam Bridcutt can't play in a 4-4-2, so doesn't fit our system, anymore'.
Has LB ever played regularly in a 4-4-2?
If he hasn't then how does NSC know he'll be shithouse?
All the reason's for saying he can't do x,y & z, can be batted away by saying 'he's never had too'.
What about him? Plays a different position.
I would have him back on a free and then sell him again for a profit .
It is possible that Sunderland still owe money for him or Buckley and this is an easy way of getting it.
I'm still sat in the Devil's Advocate chair:-
We all know Kayal and Stephens have been pivotal to this seasons success.
2 players doing the work of 3, against 3, therefore freeing up space for the wingers.
We're all pooping ourselves at either of them being injured.
Sadly Crofts can't do the job.
Holla has stopped doing the job.
JFC isn't trusted to do the job.
It has never been Ince's job.
So the club needs an industrious, tackling, ball playing, presence, who can slot in at a moments notice.
Ah f**k it, I just can't see this one through.
It goes too far against the grain, not because how he left and I certainly don't believe he's a potential disruptive time bomb.
But because I hate the fact NSC gets such a small club mentality when it comes to previous players.
There's thousands of Bridcutt's on this planet, get one of them.
LB had his chance and blew it hanging onto the coat tails of a crazy man.
It is possible that Sunderland still owe money for him or Buckley and this is an easy way of getting it.
I'd love a player of Bridcutt's quality in our squad. I'd feel a lot more confident about seeing out the tail end of games if a Bridcuttesque(in terms of ability rather than mentality) player came on to form a three man midfield for the last 15-20minutes of games.
