Reflect on this, reflect on that. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference to Gus one way or the other. Sunderland will make their bids, and once the clubs reach a consensus on the fee then they'll thrash out a deal with Bridcutt and his agent. His transfer request is neither here nor there in...
He told reporters after the game: “Liam Bridcutt putting in a transfer request? It’s nothing to do with me.”
When a reporter tells him Bridcutt has handed in a transfer request, what else is Gus going to say ? Any answer other than the one he gave would lead to accusations of tapping up.
Gus...
I'm just not sure why you think a player agitating for a move would result in driving down his price to the buying club.
Do you think TB will knock a few grand off for Gus, just because Liam's had his head turned ?
A players mood does not dictate his value.
We are not a selling club any more. He's not going anywhere until or unless Sunderland or anyone else meet our valuation.
