If true, it beggars belief. Do we really have to let Bridcutt go for the paltry initial sum of £2.5M? I thought we were no longer a selling club? Very, very disappointed by this news if it turns out to be fact. £5M up front or Gus can take a run and jump.

If I were Bloom, I'd be waiting to see if the Steven Fletcher to Hull City happens. If it does, add another million to the tag, we'll know they have the money.

It's always "Close" with these tabloids.
Earlier on in the evening I was negotiating a deal with my wife to go to bed early. At 10p.m the deal was "Close" but it hasn't happened as I'm still up looking at shite online

Would much prefer if we got £3million guaranteed cash up front.
I hope we keep Buckley.
Liam Bridcutt departure makes the selection for Birmingham a bit easier as he does not have to drop him now.
The transfer fee has to take into account that Liam was out of contract in the summer. I we have done OK and we should be looking for better players now like Agustien and Ince, with Andrews a sound enough more versatile alternative.

We rejected £2.5m last week. We might sell Bridcutt, but it won't be for £2.5m.

£2.5m up front is peanuts in the grand scheme of things, absolutely nothing to a Premiership club, no matter how bad their finances, and losing a player of his quality for that paltry sum is quite sickening really, regardless of 'add ons' and all that bullshit. It's almost as though we're still a lower league club playing at Withdean and getting screwed for players like Bennett and Crofts.

Are you suggesting Liam has no ambition? That its easier to stay in the champ with no pressure? Doubt it myself. In many ways its easier at Sunderland as gus knows how to play Liam, where to get best out of him - and a player like him is key to gus's style.
Anyway, if he was good enough to be overwhelming player of the season at a club that finished just four places behind where Sunderland are now, I think he'll be just fine

Playing against championship opposition, hardly the same.

Were they both given by our club though? If they're not outside awards you can hardly count him as 'championship player of the year'

2.5 million is a very poor price for us unless our blokes up top have already got players lined up at bargain prices ( highly unlikely)......bridcutt has to be worth 4 million , i would have said 5.5 for him and buckley , job lot would have been great business for us, buckleys continual hamstring problems are a big negative ....!

Sounds like he is off for 5 million from this tweet from bbc sport twitter account.

Fantastic bit of business IF they get 5 million for Liam.
