Bridcutt to join Buckley at Champions of Europe

[GT49er]

Obviously both heading to Leeds for the arrival of the messiah. Chelski and Leeds are the only teams he could deign to lead. Give the Red faced Scotsman about 33 days, and I expect Cellini (still miraculously owning the club, albeit illegally!) will have a vacancy only one so exalted as Gus could fill.

Indeed.

Gus getting his players in advance.

Or maybe Bridcutt and Buckley are thick as thieves.

There's a lot of sour and envious rewriting history going on suddenly. Bridcutt wasn't repeatedly voted player of the year for nothing even if he did spoil it by .

Anyway...... Leeds

 

[Brighton Mod]

Surely he can't be going to Leeds, I thought Evans was looking for a loyal, creative midfielder who can chip in with a few goals?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I would have stephens and Kayal over Bridcutt every day (in current uncertain form - given he's not played much) If all at peak of ability i still would probably not replace them TBH although it would be close. I would find space for an in form and fit Buckley, but he's not been that for several years....

Absolutely this.

 

[Eeyore]

OK, just who, precisely, would Bridcutt replace now?

Ince, but we would be playing a different system to accommodate him.

In 4-1-4-1 Baldock or Hemed would be sacrificed, with Bridcutt playing in the space Ince would normally occupy.

That is on the bench so it would have to be one of the wide men.

No, that is a formation we normally adopt later in matches after Ince comes on, normally for a forward.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I think, if I were Steve Evans, I'd be checking my contract terms urgently. Gus bus is about to roll into Leeds.

 

[Pavilionaire]

To be honest I was disappointed the way Bridcutt left and I don't particularly like Leeds but I think this deal is good for both parties. He's more than useful at Championship level and Leeds are beginning to get hold of some useful players, it's largely immaterial while they have a basket case chairman and deranged manager but there's no doubt the likes of Wood, Bridcutt, Cook, Byram, Buckley, Antenucci, Dallas would give someone of Gus's ability something to work with.

Agree. And I can't see CH changing to a different system to accommodate him. For Lionel Messi or Gareth Bale maybe he would, but this is Liam Bridcutt we're talking about!

Liam probably lost focus again

Wonder who the other Championship options are?

What a mess Evans is. Farcical.

 

[TomandJerry]

Big Evans + Leeds =

I wondered that too.
