Sunderland have had a number of bids rejected by Brighton for Liam Bridcutt, but are expected to come back in for the player #SAFC #BHAFC
There are plenty of mid-lower table PL clubs keeping tabs on Bridcutt. They wouldn't stand by and see he picked up for a bargain without attempting to outbid.
Surely, surely, SURELY... it'd make more sense for Bridders to try and get us up in the next 6 months, and if that doesn't happen, he could jump ship elsewhere (and we wouldn't knock him for it) for more money than Sunderland might be able to offer, given that they could easily go down?
Stack your cold logic up against his agent whispering slyly in his ear about the untold riches waiting for him back in Gus's arms and there may not be much of a contest.
You're ignoring several factors.
1) There is still far more chance of Sunderland being in the EPL next season than us.
2) They will pay him loads more than us.
3) He is a Gus man.
As soon as an offer is accepted he'll be on the A23.
He may well be a good player, but that's a bit cheeky of Sunderland seeing as offering us a 19-year-old winger they paid £1.5m for in the summer is clearly just a ploy to give him experience rather than help us. They can't seriously think such a loan signing would make any difference to our desire to sell a first-team player. It could also indicate Gus has got an incredibly small amount of money available to him, if he's having to try and sweeten deals with promises of loans.

We understand that Sunderland have offered Brighton the loan signing of David Moberg Karlsson as part of the deal #SAFC #BHAFC
