I think he's a very good player, but he's going to be on a decent wage given that he renewed his contract this time last year, and I think it'd be better to spend the money on someone who can play most weeks.
Exactly. Our scouting network has been excellent during the past couple of years; the only real let down has been Jobbie, and that was a last minute panic buy thinking that CMS was on his way.
There are plenty of mid-lower table PL clubs keeping tabs on Bridcutt. They wouldn't stand by and see he picked up for a bargain without attempting to outbid.
