Midfield three - Kayal,Bridcutt and Stephens

Brighton Boy · Mar 16, 2015

whats people's thoughts on getting Bridcutt back.

I would love to see him with Kayal, they would be fantastic together. I'm guessing Sunderland didn't pay all the transfer fee up front for him so a deal could be a possibility.

Obviously that's at Hughtons discretion but wasn't he interested once before or am I dreaming that?

Bridcutt is going wherever Poyet is going.

Can you begin to imagine the abuse he would get if he had a poor game? Soiled goods as far as the Albion are concerned. He'll do well for a Championship club, just not us.

Imdont think that's the case at all actually. When Hammond came back that deal wasn't greeted with positivity but we supported him and everything was ok. I think it would all be forgotten about if the chance arose.

Do we need him though?

I'd rather have Ince, Stephens and Kayal.

I thought Bridcutt looked very average under Oscar Garcia. We did well to cash in on him.

He's way better than Ince but I understand what your saying regarding the Oscar era. I thought that there were a couple of tweaks Oscar made that changed Bridcutt role though. If in the summer crofts, kemi and maybe 1 other left I would take him back in a shot.i would love to see Kayal play in front of someone with Liam's composure.

Sod that, he was petulant when he knew Sunderland were sniffing. Why pay someone the wages he'll be demanding when in the previous spell he turned his nose up at us.

Notters · Mar 16, 2015

Did you actually watch him play for the last 6 months with us? Just asking.

Bridcutt burnt his bridges as far as I'm concerned.

Utterly unprofessional behaviour from him after his head had been turned.

Having watched him play for Sunderland I wouldn't say composure is one of his attributes anymore. Looks like a lost little boy these days sadly.

Yes thanks. Also watched the 3 years before. He was fantastic under Poyet from start to finish. Not going to judge him on on a poor couple of months when he wasn't fully fit under Oscar. Didn't he miss the first 3 months of the season under Oscar apart from 2-3 games. He then came back in to the team and didn't look fit and was then sold.

Mowgli37 · Mar 16, 2015

I think that injury that kept him out for most of his time here under Oscar did more damage than we thought. I did love him though when he was here, however I'd rather we stuck with Kayak and Stephens and continued developing Ince and JFC.

Surely that's just levels though. I know he was fantastic in the championship and that's where we are now. If we could get him back at cut price I think it's worth looking at.

Yeah possibly, but I would worry about his motivation. It'd be a wage drop to come back to a club away from which he engineered a move. I'm not saying he wouldn't be a good signing as such, but I tend to be of a mind to move on.

He refused to play for us didn't he. I doubt if the club would consider having him back.

I did and thought he was very average and we did well to get the fee for him that we got !

Don t think we need him.
Of all the places on the pitch CM is not a top priority. Kayal and Stephens are much better players. Ince will also develop beyond the levels Bridcutt is at. We also have JFC, crofts if he returns, march who can play there. If we were going for a CM I think the club needs to think about an attacking one.
Personally The club needs to find 2-3 very good strikers, 2 full backs, 2 CB and some wingers.
