4 years, with a £10m buyout clause is my preferred option. He's been so good this season, along with Crofts' determination to cover every single blade of grass of the pitch on multiple occasions, alongside scoring goals, that I wouldn't be too disappointed if Bridcutt did leave in the transfer...
I like this too. Front six of:
Bridcutt -- Ince
Agustein
Buckley ------------------- Orlandi
Ulloa
with three of Barnes, KLL, Crofts and CMS to come on as subs.
I've said it before on NSC, and am just repeating what Bold Seagull is saying, he's more reminiscent of Patrick Vieira, and will become even more so when he becomes the box-to-box midfielder to complement Bridcutt's DCM role, or even when they alternate those roles between them, as they seemed...
He is getting better by the game, and is developing from a central defensive midfielder (and Oscar converted him from a centre back when he turned up) into a box-to-box midfielder. Still think he's far more like Vieira than Yaya Toure.
