No one has mentioned that he's a young lad from London? Either move would require him going to the arse east end of the country or the arse west end. Perhaps in this case, location will help us out?
Norwich to London is hardly a million miles.No one has mentioned that he's a young lad from London? Either move would require him going to the arse east end of the country or the arse west end. Perhaps in this case, location will help us out?

Not sure why Palace can say no but we can't? Let's shed Vicente if Bloom is concerned about money. We can't lose Bridcutt.
came on here for good news after a shit day at work ................... pricelessI have had a really shit day today at work, signed on here expecting to see some good news and all the threads are just negative news, I need a beer and lots of them.
Bridcutt is the ONE player that makes us tick CONSISTENTLY. End of.

take it for what it is and nothing elseOne day, not sure when, but one day, there will be good news........
Will there?
But this is totally unrealistic. We have a wage structure, it's somewhere in the middle of this division. The likes of Swansea and Norwich have been promoted, they have massiv Prem budget and guaranteed parachute payments if the shit hits the fan. They could offer Bridcutt 3 or 4 times his current wages if they felt like it.
I doubt if we'd have kept Murray and Bennett we'd be any higher or lower than we are at the moment. This is because they've been replaced by good players. The problem is when you lose your good players but don't replace them.
This idea about only being able to progress if you 'keep your best players' really applies to the very top level. There are 50 Liam Bridcutts out there, but Tottenham know Modric is almost impossible to replace, ditto with Arsenal and Van Persie.
Players come and go......if Bridcutt, Noone and Dunk all leave, they'll be replaced by the same/better quality. Spending £130M on a stadium and training ground would be a futile exercise without players.
This speculation is becoming a joke now. We just need to start putting big price tags on players if we want to move forward as a football club.
For instance; Dunk £4 million, Noone £3 million, Bridcutt £6million.
Dunk and Noone would be easily replaceable for such a fee in my opinion, but there are very few players that can operate in the way that Bridcutt does. I would be really disappointed if we sold him for a penny under £5 million, because he would be practically impossible to replace.
