Bridcutt has asked to leave Brighton with Sunderland having been engaged in advanced talks for both he & Will Buckley for several days
It looks like Buckley is still in the reckoning.
As you've said De Fanti & Burke will be doing the negotiations, with their chairmen, but that doesn't suit posters on here who want to hate Gus a bit more.
People still hate Gus and cannot believe that a player would choose to play for him. I wish them both well and look forward to what Oscar can do with the money and players we have.
Players do a job. Have you ever left a job to go somewhere else? There is only one kind of loyalty in football and that is the fans. Players and mangers come & go but the club goes on.

Checking out whether it is true Bridcutt has handed in a transfer request. Suspect it is. Journalist involved is usually reliable. #bhafc
With respect, Gus hasn't leaked anything. De Fanti is doing the negotiating. Have you seen any direct quote or interview where Gus has mentioned Brighton or players? It is also possible, that Liam actually prefers playing for Gus. I know that sounds impossible to some, but it might just be true...

Maybe David Burke should be told that by Bloom. He used to do the same job at Southampton and got good prices for their players, so I can't see why he doesn't get a decent price for us.
