More good news - Liam Bridcutt

[MICK PATCHAM]

Our key component

Glad he's getting back to fitness, but he'll be a Sunderland player in Jan, and we'll be £2.5 million better off.

Just can't see bloom selling to poyet. If a player really wants to leave bloom will usually let go but not in this instance

Absolutely. I'd probably take £3 million. Bridcutt is a great player but it's not hard to find others who can play his role almost as well. In fact, we already have the likes of Andrews, Crofts and Ince in place, all of whom have done reasonably well this season. If we sold Bridcutt I doubt we'd even need to bring someone in to replace him. But more importantly, we'd have £3 million or more to invest in someone to play the flair role at the front of the midfield three. If you only play one upfront it is really important to have a top-quality player in that attacking midfield position who can create and score goals. Other than Vicente's rare appearances, we haven't had that player yet at The Amex, but I reckon it is the one we most need to fill.

Agree entirely sell Bridcutt for 3m and buy in a good quality attacking midfielder that can make incisive passes in the final third. How much money do you need for a high quality championship attacking midfielder though?

I don't think he'd like to sell to Poyet, but if the players wants to leave and we're getting well compensated, it might be more harmful not to sell. It would piss me off no end though, the best midfielder I've ever seen in a Brighton shirt.

Hell be keeping himself fit and out of trouble until he goes to Munterland in January. Head had already been turned IMO.

Just because Poyet may or may not want him, doesn't mean we have to sell. I'm looking forward to having him back, I've forgotten how good he can be.

But it's not like Sunderland will be the only club interested. We have seen bloom dig his heels in with Poyet before. Unless it's big bucks he won't sell to Sunderland I'm sure of that

What the hell has happened to you?? Did you get bored of the hilarious internet caricature you'd created and decide to post as a normalo? I'm enjoying it.

Interesting. What evidence do you have to support that his head has been turned? Do you know him? Or have you come to this conclusion from his disinterested performances on the pitch recently?

It's great, isn't it? One of the best posters on the board when he's in 'normal' mood. Maybe he had intercourse or something recently.

Whilst we are on an injury-based thread.....can anyone tell me which of our squad it was that left our 'dug-out' wearing tracksuit and a beanie and hobbled down the tunnel at the end of the match on crutches? It wasn't Ward. Didnt recognise who it was under the hat. It wasn't that man from Argentina I hope....

Both Leo and KLL were watching from the bench with crutches, wearing tracksuits and beanies last night.

 

[Meade's Ball]

It'll be great news when he restripes for however many games. As i've mentioned elsewhere, the real plus will be in allowing a more attacking central midfield, with a fit again Orlandi being that lynchpin of flicks and dummies and nutmegs and olés. Bridders and Andrews lurking and patroling. And 4 potential threats to goal. 5 when we're chasing a game.

Hoskins was on crutches (still!) with what I assume was his son too.

Bridcutt didn't train today. At least not with the rest of the players anyway.

 

[Icy Gull]

If we have any intention of trying to go up this season selling Bridcutt would be a bit foolhardy, unless he actually wants to go. He will not be that easy to replace if we did go up and if we don't need to sell, what's the point? He could help us get promoted, no guarantee that whoever we bring on will be as influential and what we have at the moment won't be good enough.

None of this will happen until January anyway so we'll have a much better idea of our chances then, if we are in contention I think we'd be a bit mental to sell him.

Probably because he's not due to start training until tomorrow?
