Despite what you say, your motivation and angle on the comment was intended to sell tickets on the Gus Bus
Not many will adopt Sunderland as their second club and you will have to try harder than that to convert them even if it does mean extra cash if they stay up.

I suggest you take a look at Johnny Cantor's tweet.
Stay up clauses are common, the Albion paid one to Millwall, for example, when we signed McCammon on loan from Millwall.

It may be true but not necessarily the rule in this case unless you are privy to factual information. If you can confirm you are IKN on this deal I may accept it.
JC has just twattered £3.25m with add ons, which could mean many things other than a staying up fee.
Has he? There you go. That is the correct figure as I understand, with a modest 'top up' if Sunderland stay up.

Maybe, if true, but your angle was to convert posters into hoping Sunderland stay up and get on the Gus Bus. I don't mind losing a modest amount if they don't beat the drop.

Does this mean Bridcutt is our record sale now? Have we sold a player for a higher price?

Err, sorry I'm going to spell this out for you and hope I've not been suckered. It's an old adage, it doesn't including "social media, forums, sky sports/ bbc etc etc" because it was coined before those forms of mass social intercourse existed and the printed word was the only universal source of information. However, the sentiment still holds true today (and includes, in particular, NSC!).

I see your point and appreciate the angle but whilst a lot is speculation what can you believe infact who cares !!

I believe Elliott Bennett was the previous highest sale, wasn't he? In that case, (whilst, of course, being officially undisclosed) the initial fee was reported to be 1.5million, with add-ons. Last summer, the Argus reported that Albion had currently received "almost 2million".
That, of course, beats the 1.5million received for Zamora and Virgo. And whatever we ended up receiving for Barry/Standing.

Thanks for the clarification.
I share the view that Oscar has done magnificently well, considering what he had to pick up. I have enormous, respect for the man whether we finish in the play-offs or not.

If im not mistaken most tabloids are coming out with £2.5mill fee agreed some are saying £3mill. With this in mind why the FK has this dragged on up until nearly the last day of the window?? Its £2.5 million FFS not £4-£6mill!!!! In short we have yet another month shaken up by Poyet and we then go and sell our best player to him a cut price. The more I think about it the more I start getting pi#sed off with how Poyet has treated our club. Lets put it another way how many other holding midfielders are there he could have gone for. I really thought if we were doing business with Poyet and Sunderland they would be paying TOP whack for Liam and as a minimum be trading another player to us. Bad business for us all round.
sounds like Bridcutt's head had gone so we knew we were most likely going to loose him.......i hope sunderland get relegated......disappointing scenario....!!
