football rumours

I would think a number of clubs will be tracking Ulloa but at least we have him on a long contract. Forlin adjusted.

Long term contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on.

 

[BensGrandad]

But they dictate the selling price somewhat

Yes for other clubs but not us as we sell for rock bottom prices and the vultures always cherry pick our best players.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think those days my be over and we will demand a more realistic value now

Bloody hope you're right. Bridcutt £6 million. I don't see clubs targeting Cardiff etc for their best players as they get scared off so it's about time we played hard ball as well.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Dobbie has already gone, just the paperwork couldn't be completed.

Otherwise it's impossible to say until we know which League we are in but ...............

Barnes to Millwall seems like a good match up!!

Crofts has disappointed me and I wouldn't be surprised

There's a bunch of other squad players that will rotate out to allow us to further strengthen if we don't go up and just because they'll be way off the standard if we do

We'll get trumped by one of the big boys for Dick Van Dyke

Bridge and Upson always were strong possibilities

Lansbury was hyped up big time before his move - dunno if he's done the biz or not really

Lopez - need to keep adding to our foreign contingent

Would'nt mind betting that Bridge will be off to the USA.......We'd be asking him to take a MASSIVE pay cut.........sorry!

I'd agree, if he's not here next season it's highly likely it's because he's gone to the US, but don't think will be the prime motivator for that move!

Bridgy is in this weeks OK magazine with that Frankie chap, maybe the article will give us a clue.

Someone wants to pay 1mil for Barnes?

 

[BensGrandad]

The latest says that Eddie Howe is favourite with RDM and Nicky Forster in the frame. I laughable suggestion is Dunk to AFC Bournemouth for £210k

 

[GoingUp]

Just hope We can keep hold of Bridcutt, everything goes thru him, by far our best player, I can see him going off to the Prem...

 

[GoingUp]

Norwich are tracking Bridcutt and Ulloa.

Norwich seem to take or want all our players... We there feeder club or something?

 

[BensGrandad]

If Bridcutt leaves could we not replace him with Nicky Bailey of Middlesbro who looked very good for Middlesbro in one game at The Amex.

It does seem that way but as Paul Lambert has gone to Villa then it would'nt surprise me to see them come in for bridcutt as it was Lambert who came for crofts and Bennet.

Worth more than that imo

Yeah good shout, they could do with someone like Liam, although hes still young he seems to have an old head, has the ability to control the pace of A game, and reads the game like A book, with that young Vila squad He could become the Scholes or Carrick, everything come straight thru him and distribute the ball... Hope not though We need to hold onto our best players to push for the Prem...

In Yen maybe...

 

[Monkey Man]

Bridcutt deserves his chance in the Prem and I don't think any Brighton fan will begrudge him a move, despite the huge loss we'll feel as a result.

As for Barnes, I have a sneaky feeling that he's going to have a very good season. Of course, even if he does, he'll get slated.

Will be interesting to see if the new guy is keener on solid, second-tier, meat-and-potatoes players than he is on Latin flair. Perhaps Tony's in the mood for a more Anglo Saxon approach ...
