Scotland player ratings v Serbia | Herald Scotland

Interesting to see Bridders Scotlands Best Player v Serbia - Really Pleased for him - so deserved at last - although his profile is raised even more for other teams to poach

Wouldnt be suprised if Chelsea came back in for him, I think he is great & so composed on the ball.
Of course i want him to stay, perhaps when we beat Palarse 3-0 in the play off final he will stay....if we dont go up
I think he will go to Premier top 6 side...

Would even venture into double figures at his present rate of progress

I wonder what we'd get for him? I'm guessing around £6m, although I do think he's worth more than that.

Not a chance.

Unproven in the top flight, to short, never scores blah blah blah, all the stuff we know is bullgoogle, but will all go towards keeping the price down.
No group of teams are going to enter a bidding war for a holding midfielder.

The guarantee is irrespective of LB price and value it will be exactly half his worth, to The Albion.
Of that there can be no doubt.

Chelsea paid £16m for a 19 year old Jon Obi Mikel from a Norwegian team a good few years back - unproven in the top flight, never scores and not particularly tall/strong. There was a lot of kerfuffle over it with Manchester United too as I recall. So I disagree, top clubs know the value of a quality holding midfielder. Is Bridcutt going to interest top clubs? Let's see how he performs in the pressure matches running in to the close of the season...

LB isn't in that league, and won't be anytime soon.

He's plenty good enough for 80% of the EPL, but if those teams don't score they get relegated, hence my original summation.

Ulloa for mega millions is more likely to happen before LB commands that kind of fee.

A John Obi Mikel who had just won 2nd best player (behind messi I believe) at the 2005 Fifa World Youth championships....

Do you happen to know the name of the thread title for these accounts? I can't find them anywhere

There you go. It's a good read.

He's getting a lot of love on the Tartan Army board, bugger, still that which we have all known for a while was always certain to get wider attention. Gotta keep him...if we can

That. Comparing Bridcutt to JOM is ridiculous.

 

[Wozza]

Don't think you are far off. Minimum of £5M. Could be £8M or even more. Especially, now that he is an established international.

Established?!

 

[casbom]

Wouldn't be surprised if Celtic came in with an offer in the Summer..

 

[Bakero]

Wouldn't be surprised if Celtic came in with an offer in the Summer..

This would make me sad.

 

[Blackadder]

Established?!

I get the impression he will play for them again.

Wouldn't surprise me either, but I think there will be bigger offers from England.

Go up and we'll keep him.

 

[Wozza]

That still doesn't make him "established".

 

[SeagullSongs]

That still doesn't make him "established".

To be fair, he looked much more 'established' than any of the other players on the pitch.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

He seems to have made a pretty positive impression all round.

Fair play to the bloke; more than just lip service, that - chucking your international debut shirt to the fans.
