Well we can kiss goodbye to Bridcutt...

[Djmiles]

What a performance YET AGAIN. The back four must be thanking their lucky stars that they have such a brilliant player infront of them.

Would be a disaster if he left.

 

[Neecha]

You utter tool. What a ridiculous thing to say.

Agree

 

[tweenster]

Do you think Liam understands how popular he is with the fans?

 

[Mutts Nuts]

One things for sure , no one will sign up barn door McSmudger on todays performance,we could lose Hoskins and Orlandi though

 

[portslade seagull]

Bridders was simply superb today lets hope this doesn't mean PL teams come sniffing round before the windows end

 

[TottonSeagull]

Bridcutt was MOM today, as usual. The guy is Premier class!

 

[downham seagull]

My thoughts too! every time he done something to great I was getting more worried. It will be hard to keep him if a good offer tempts turns his head.

 

[Albion Robster]

I would love to see his performance stats today and over the season as well.
- How many tackles he wins each game - must one of top tacklers in The Championship.
- Passes attempted and completed
- Inceptions/blocked shots
- Aerial battles he wins each game.
Bridcutt is simply a Midfield General.

Bridcutt has two & half years to run on his contract so anyone saying he needs a new one is being a muppet. It is agreed he is in outstanding form but he will go nowhere in this transfer window.

 

[rjbseagull]

Those saying Bridders' is too short, Leon Britton at Swansea seems to be doing a decent job at around the same height (and from what I've seen Liam's a better all round player). And that Paul Scholes chap doesn't seem to have done too badder job with his considerable lack of inches!

Seriously though think Bridcutt would walk into most PL sides. I guess the positive thing from our point of view is that there aren't many Premier League clubs who'd pay the figure we'd command for an untested player at that level. He's too instrumental too our style to be let go for peanuts.

 

[Change at Barnham]

A brilliant work rate and someone who breaks up opposition attacks better than almost anyone in the Championship. I expect someone to test us with an offer of 2 or 3 million, but feel his value should be 4 or 5 million. If you could distribute the ball with quality passes he'd be worth 12 million. But if he could do that he wouldn't have been released by Chelsea.
IMO he's the most important and valuable player we have.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

To be fair bridcutt was shocking when he first came on a free. Then hes only gone one way since! I believe his improvement is mainly down to Poyet. He really is the man! And now bridcutt is the man!!

He wasn't shocking at all. He was a good player from the start but did learn a lot from Kish by playing alongside him. When Kish had to go back to Bulgaria in the January (we now know what the personal circumstances where) he stepped up admirably.

Newcastle ?

[terryberry1]

Liam Bridcutt is a football genius

 

[Skaville]

I'm beginning to think he is someone who will play for England, not now obviously, but in the next five years. How many bad games has he had in a Brighton shirt?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

i honestly think he is to short for the prem.....he would get shoved off the ball too easy.......he is a little tiger though ,he had a great game.

Agree with this for MOST teams but still think are a couple who he'd fit in well with their style of play. Swansea is the example who are always brought up. If we go up though we'll be one of them so hopefully he stays put and achieves his potential. Immense for us

 

[Plastic-Fantastic]

He looked like a proper Hobbit stood next to Sammi Ameobi, somehow still wins balls in the air

f*** off you idiot.

Bridcutt is simply a Midfield General.

I think the stats wouldn't reflect his contribution fully. He doesn't have to win as many tackles as many midfielders as he reads the game so well. He is in the right position so many times to intercept that actual tackles are less necessary (not that he doesn't tackle well when needed). As for aerial battles, how many times does he make bigger players look stupid by comfortably winning the ball in the air against them. What a player and I can't believe we got him on a free.
