I don't. I think Bloom will make them wait and pay top dollar. If they are getting upwards of £5m for the player Bridcutt is going to replace then it'd be ridiculous for us not to dig in.
Have to agree BB.

I saw an article by Orlandi where he said he understood where Bridcutt was coming from and that he was training well and not talking about his situation to the others. Tellingly he also said, if my memory is correct, that if this transfer was not resolved by the close of the transfer window he knew Liam would knuckle down and give 100% for the rest of the season. I think he may be right, there is no mileage in Liam sulking if the window passes and he is still an Albion player. He will just get on with his game and wait for the summer to see if Gus comes back for him again.
Nonsense. If he is downing tools he can look forward to a year and a half out the game whilst we hold onto his registration and he makes zero money. Again, if Lee Cattermole is worth £5million, Bridcutt is worth £10.

Been informed Sunderland have offered us 3 mill for bridcutt & Buckley we get Conner wickham , how true don't know but this has come from someone up north in the know .
I keep hearing the Amex pitch being used as a reason for hamstring problems but Buckley's latest in a string of hamstring injuries occurred at Blackpool. Does anyone have the stats on where these injuries, that seem to arise as soon as he is match fit and running at full speed have occurred? Is it mostly at the Amex or split between the Amex and away grounds?
Could it be that playing on better pitches every week would help? There is certainly a large difference in the quality of pitches in this division and the premier league they will be better so if there is truth in this rumour perhaps Poyet things that will help him sort the problems out
I would be ASTOUNDED if they were offering this cash+Wickham deal.
Interesting. I must admit I am disappointed in Bridcutt suggesting his head wasn't right for Derby, as I personally can't see how a possible transfer can affect your performance once you're out on the pitch and playing. Especially as we needed him because of the Crofts injury. But agree with the above, that should for whatever reason the deal not happen this month, then Liam would go back to giving his all for us until the summer and then take things from there.
Exactly. Good for Ipswich a few years ago. Done absolutely nothing since. His career has certainly hit the rocks. Still worth taking a punt on him though.Wickham was ridiculously good for Ipswich - if we can get him in, it's an absolute steal.
Sunderland would be justified to offer Conner Wickham for both of them, with no fee involved and not be laughed at.

8 goals in 10 games this season is nothing? Blimey you are VERY demanding
Isn't Connor Wickham valued at about £5M? If so, this proposed deal would indicate an £8M valuation for Liam and Will. Personally, I would say that is very unlikely given Sunderland have so far offered £3.75M for them.
