Fascinated not bitter btw

I know his agent is not playing him off against other clubs. The only reason why we are aware of the leaks is because Gus has leaked them. We have had "Gus after Bridcutt", "Gus wants Buckley and Bridcutt for £3m", "An offer of £2m", "Closing in on a deal for £2.5m", "Hope to sign him before...

He has got another 18 months

Whilst Gus slips to the Championship and splits with Sunderland leaving Bridcutt high and dry amoungst a squad of mercenaries. Or he could stay here for the rest of the season after being out for the first half, get back up to full fitness, develop his game under Oscar and have a choice of Prem...

Yep, on Bridcutts behalf, he has been put between a rock and a hard place. His agent should be dealing with interest from other Prem clubs and not focusing on Sunderland because of Gus. Even the fact that offers have been made public with "Close to deal" and "Next 24 hours" headlines makes a...

Yes but every player would say that when asked about Prem ambitions. He said as little as he could on the subject, and said nothing about wanting to play under Gus at Sunderland. His agent would have been furious if he said he was happy in the Championship so I wouldn't expect him to say...

Looking for a way out is quite a stong statement and implies that Liam is desperate to leave?

I see what you are saying, but because Gus's agent is also Bridcutt's, he would have been put between a rock and a hard place. As far as I know he seems happy here, but he may have said to his agent when he was asked about joining Sunderland, that he doesn't mind moving. I would imagine that...

Has Bridcutt verbally asked to leave? (Edit) Has he told Bloom that if he could leave tomorrow he would?

One thing that is very important to remember is that Liam has not handed in a transfer request, and if he had, we would have probably sold him for the £2.5m offer. As it stands he is happy here and his transfer purely hinges on Gus putting our asking price for him on the table. There is no...

He cost £12m. Hull have just offered £8m for him but Gus is reluctant to sell for less than £10m.

Where have I suggested that Liam staying here would mean he lacks ambition? All I have said is that the move to Sunderland doesn't come without consequences if it doesn’t work out. Yep Gus knows how HE strictly wants Liam to play, but maybe Liam is enjoying learning the Oscar way now. Let's...

Have to say that this is beautifully written.

My scenario also included: "There will be very high expectations of him from the fans, Short, Di Fanti and the rest of the Sunderland squad as he would be a "Gus signing". There would be nowhere for him or Gus to hide and he has to live up to that Golden Child reputation Gus has put on him...

:thumbsup: And your alternative scenario is?

Here is a scenario: Bridcutt probably gets a phone call from Gus, Oatway and his agent on a daily basis saying what fun they are having, and Bridcutt, without wanting to offend them, is going yeah yeah yeah it will be great to join you. Behind the scenes Bridcutt has already told Bloom to...
