Bridcutt

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I don't think he'll go for more than £4m plus add ons, but it won't be to us. So after you've paid Gus his £2.5m you'll still have enough to find a replacement for Bruno.

He is rubbish

Because he was injured for the second part of the season and just when he got back he wemt off injured at leeds away as well.

Regardless of Murray (free agent, got offered more money) and Dobbie (unwanted here, flogging him to sit in Palace's reserves at £16k a week for the whole of next season= great deal for us), I just cannot see Bridcutt going to Palace.

I try not to be as one-eyed about the Albion as many on here, and of course the Premier League is a pull, but it is very obvious that Palace are the least attractive club in the entire PL for any prospective signing. Their facilities are awful and they are nailed on certainties for relegation, so a player's only hope is that he'll somehow manage to shine amongst all the mediocrity and make sure he's got a relegation release clause in the contract.

It seems quite possible that offers will be made for Bridcutt, in which case it follows that every single one of them that comes from a PL club (and maybe even a couple of Championship clubs) will be a more attractive option to him than Palace.

Hence I would be genuinely amazed if he went there.

Unlike your Premier League standard full backs. I do hope you give Parr a chance

Touché

Though I happen to think Ward will make the step up. The boy is class.

Given that he's under contract, do you feel the Board would also risk the wrath of the fans by selling Bridcutt. Given that the Poyet affair will alienate some towards the Board, I think that Paul Barber and Tony Bloom will consider their options before agreeing another deal with Palace.

Or maybe I just have rose -tinted specs and we will be motivated by FFP.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's Bridcutt to Norwich obviously. Don't know why they don't just re-brand themselves from 'The Canaries' to 'The Cherry-Pickers' and be done with it.

Sadly, contracts don't count for much these days. If someone wants to go, they will. A long contract just helps you get a higher fee.

Yes, I do accept that. I just hope (no disrespect), that of all the teams he's sold to, its not your lot......

I do believe he'll end up at Norwich for £4.5m, plus a player (Elliott Bennett please.....).

Leeds are their feeder club with BHA as back-up.

I'd be pretty shocked myself if he ended up with us

Oh I have no doubt he will go if he wants to. It just won't be to Palace.

The entire rumour is just mischief-making started by somebody on the BBS or wherever in the light of Murray (gutted) and Dobbie (not remotely).

Bridcutt may well go, but it will probably be to a Norwich or Fulham type of club. Maybe better if he gets lucky. But not worse.

I really really dislike Brighton being Norwichs feeder club. It just seems so low rent.

Me too, but like it or not they're in the premier league, we aren't......

I used to hate it when Reading did it as well in the Withdean years.

Edna ran the Brighton Marathon raised something like £2,000.
Brighton vs Palace REMF football games raise?
Fans do things to raise money for REMF and get sponsored.

If someone does something for charity then I'll donate money, make them do it. I'm not just going to part with my hard earnt cash unless theirs an incentive for me to do so.

Understand?

Excellent, I'm doing the shithurst to Amex bike ride for remf in September, will you sponsor me £500?

Pm me and I'll give you the details.

Cheers

Don't remind me. Every year I look forward to Norwich getting relegated. Leaves me feeling despondent every Other May when it doesn't happen.

P-lease! Palace could spend the next two decades in the top flight and never be considered a 'PL team' as you call them. Arsenal, Man Utd or Liverpool maybe, but Palace!


We've never even been there but even we've got more right/status to call ourselves a 'PL team'!

and that in a nut shell is what's wrong with your club - too many of you have that opinion and why failure to get promotion or build on what Bloom has given you will hurt even more than it already has this season - deluded beyond belief

As I said earlier, I don't have an issue with most away fans coming on here but you are one who adds nothing to this site and just slags us off. At least some other Palace fans try to get involved in discussion rather than just slagging off Brighton fans.

The money from selling Bridcutt at a good price (4-5m) could well fund another serious challenge for the premier league next year, if spent well. I don't care where that money comes from to be honest. In fact I quite like the thought of Palace funding our transfer fund for next year.

So long as they don't take up one of the slots marked with the name "Crystal Palace". Presumably the bottom one.
