There is the FFP difference. We're selling our player of the year for the last two years in the transfer window and this has been funded for the Prem side with £5m spent on their player sales to Forest.

Bridcutt Close to Signing for Sunderland? (Sky Sports News)

Agree with this. He's been injured most of this season and we've got cover in the midfield. Has been a fantastic player for us.

Don't worry it's in the Daily Fail and Radio Sussex have just retweeted it from their article so probably as accurate as the Sky Sports story.

Bbc local sport quoting the The Daily Mail. Great journalism.

Good grief. The whole thing's already become an absolute farce.
So absolutely no surprise there then.

We CAN turn down 5m. The issue here, I believe, is that Liam wants to leave and we would not want to keep a player that does not want to be here.

5 million is a much sweeter price.....good luck liam ...
If the club were serious about promotion all key players would be kept until the summer, as we did with Bennet.

Not if they've got some class players lined up that that money could be spent on. Besides, the emergence of Rohan Ince has made the sale of Bridcutt much easier - I'd be much more disappointed if we sold him instead of Bridcutt.

Whatever he goes for, you can bet your bottom bollocks it will be for 'an undisclosed fee', which will lead to yet another round of speculation.

Do you really, really think that the Mail sports journalists have some sort of political agenda with transfer rumours. They happen to have some very good writers. Jesus!

5 million would be good amount. We can save on his wages, and then keep 2 million in bank for FFP, and the left overs (3 million) put towards getting replacements such as a decent striker and Conway etc.. Fortunately as has been said so many times, we have ready made replacements with Ince etc..

Utter rubbish we have a squad that has got us to within touching distance of the top 6, as when bennet left for the premier Liam needs to be told wait untill the end of the season.

I think you could well be spot-on. If a player wants out, generally speaking the club will (obviously) look to get as much as thet can for them so they can reinvest in the squad. Five million smackers will see young Liam plying his trade elsewhere. Sadly, it looks like my telling him (after the Leicester game) that Sundarland's shite & always bloody freezing seemingly hasn't worked especially well.
£5 million would be enough for me to sale, realistically his worth £3.5 million in my view. Great defensive midfielder but limitations in terms of creativity and goal scoring but an exceptional 'water carrier'.
Would be sad to see him go his the best midfielder I've seen at the Albion in the past 26 years supporting them.

So you'd be disappointed if we sold him for 5m and then bought 2 players at 2m each that turned out to be as good as Ulloa?
